Hello everybody!

 

After a short conversation with CM Varitas, we decided it would be a good idea to post a topic to gather ideas for future events from you, the members of the community. We have a lot of very talented people here, and it's always a joy to see the creativity that comes out in these events, so we'd like to know what kinds of things you enjoy doing. While we can't promise that everything will happen, we'll do our best to add some variety!

 

Our events are generally flexible - late submissions tend to be accepted (within reason), events are extended, and rules are adjusted. This is partially because we're learning what the community wants and needs as we go. These future events will most likely continue in this spirit, and we are glad to have community input on the events.

 

 

Rules

 

Here's a few rules we need to follow:

• Content needs to be age-appropriate for the game (PG-13 or lower)
• In-game events:
  • Anything that requires development (in-game seasonal events, such as trade-in events; special bosses; etc) require development team approval and work. You are welcome to submit them, but please keep in mind that it is out of the WP team's hands whether they happen or not.
  • Non-development events (hide and seek, scavenger hunts, parties, trivia, etc.) do not require development team support, but usually do require somebody to be online to host or monitor the event. Because of this, time and event availability may vary.
• You can submit as many ideas or suggestions as you'd like. If you're posting them in this thread, please avoid posting multiple times in a row.
• We will add more rules as needed. Please be considerate when submitting ideas. We'd rather not add more!

 

Submitting Ideas

 

You can either fill out this form, or post in this thread using the guides I've included in the rest of this post.

 

Posting

 

These event ideas can be for pretty much anything: forum events, in-game events, stream events, or a combination of those. Feel free to list things that already happen (so we know that you enjoy them), things that don't happen that you want to happen, or things that used to happen that you want to see again.

 

While you don't need to use this format, I recommend doing it so we can sort through the ideas easier. Here is the suggested format:

 

Type: forums / game / stream

Time(s) desired: For in-game events, what time(s) would you like to see events happen? For any event, what day(s) would be best for you?

Content: What happens for the event? What should be required of participants?

Example: This is mostly for previous or current events, but you can provide an example entry or example rules for your idea if it is something new.

 

One more guideline for posting - please be nice and have fun!

Type: game

Time(s) desired: Saturday/Sunday 7:00-20:00 PST

Content: "Peco Peco Race". There should be 2 categories, one for basic Peco Peco, and one for any kind of mount. In both cases mount is required.

Example: Well, since I started playing RO2 I allways wanted to do a Peco Peco Race. This might be difficult to do but it would be nice to see it one day. The idea is to make a map (or choose an already existing map) with obstacles, like fences, rocks, and mountains like in game, and everyone goes from the start of the race to the finishing line in their mounts (but please make it with no death penalty, and if you die from a fall you appear at the start line again). You can go wherever you like between the start to the finishing line, so shortcuts are allowed (but it should be more difficult to reach, like higher mountains or stuff like that). And the 2 categories is so everyone can participate, and not pay to win (like the second category, even tho u need to be skilled to go around the obstacles). And the last thing is that you can't dismount during the race.

Idk if it should have an entrance fee, like the Bingo game in RO1 (that would also be fun to do in RO2). Maybe the basic peco one is free and you have to pay for the other. And for the prices  I think zeny would be nice?

 

I hope you can understand the idea, even tho I know it may be hard to do 

 

[Draobyek]

That Peco racing actually sounds like a fun kind of event.

Since another player come with a similar idea i sent on June 22, 2015 in a private message to Njoror and Idun i'll copy paste this here too:

 

This is just a summary and some example If you like and think you can pass them and let them being  implemented just say it and I'll try to refine them better:

 

"win the race from point a to point b" quest

we have countless mounts but we simply don't use them so why not a race?

We have 3 beautifull cities but we don't use them too much so why don't organize a race?

Rules can be really simple and use what is already in game:

1st rule you can only use a peco not the premium mounts

2nd rule you have to go in the check point before the timelimit to continue the race (checkpoints are needed to avoid shortcuts or the implementation of barriers)

3rd rule you can't unmount or you will be disqualified

 

It can all start from Prontera once you buy your first mount and reach lv20 you are invited in a race trought the city streets, if you win you'll get some mount food, some exp and you will unlock alberta race once you will reach lv40;

If you win alberta race you will get a 7 days peco hat, some exp and at ML1 you will unlock Morocc Race;

If you win Morocc race you can get 7 days gold peco hat (just a recolor of the normal one) and an hint about a really hard race on the dayr desert only for skilled players;

At ML21 you will get a letter that invite you at a pecorace in Dayr desert this will be the most difficult one since there are monsters this time and you have to chose if avoid them losing time or get damage but being faster, the rules are still all valid so if you unmount you will be disqualified,

it can be long as much as the dayr path. For example you can start from the dead mine and end in the oasis and the reward can be a kara title "pecoracer" , to avoind imbalance in game that title can give only a speed bonus and an HP bonus (see later why), and some MLpoints (i suggest 10% of the exp needed to ML22).

After this you can unlock the daily race quest that as reward give you trophy (the same of colo) or pecotokens (new item) as developers like best, they can be exchanged with: union points, 30 days pecohat, mount food, "master pecoracer" kara title. These daylies can have the same path of the previous normal quests but with less time and a little % to get a speed debuff in the check points.

 

PS check points can be a circle on the floor or an NPC to talk with

 

in the hope that this idea will be liked by someone that can 

[ZeroTigress]

My friends and I tried to do player-run Peco Peco races by having 4 participants in a party with the 5th being a referee of sorts. The reason for this is to monitor each racer as they go around a course and have the referee player do race announcements like "Player A is pulling ahead of Player B, but Player C is rushing up behind them" and stuff.

A few problems made themselves known during the tests:

- the map doesn't update the locations of all party members very quickly so you'll see racers' dots lagging all over the place
- the Peco Pecos (and presumably other mounts) run at the same speed so the only excitement to be had was seeing if players can hug corners tight enough to gain a lead; as far as we're aware, speed buffs don't work on mounts so we can't have Priest classes and such at certain checkpoints to randomly cast speed spells

From our tests, we've determined that for a Peco Peco race (or any kind of mount race) to be balanced and viable, the developers would have to come up with an in-game racing feature for players to use. Something akin to the Chocobo Racing in Final Fantasy 7 where players have 3 speed boosts to use during the race and a variety of race tracks with hidden short cuts.

[Clauchy]

As ZeroTigress said, the party dots on the map are really slow to update, but this shouldn't be a problem since you don't have to be in a party to participate in this event (if it is ever done xD)

For the second problem, that is why I proposed a peco race with obstacles such as rocks, fences and mountains, so everyone has the same speed but you have to be skilled to jump and that sort of things XD

 

The idea of Shinyusuke is great, I like the whole idea of unlocking races, except for the checkpoints thing since I agree with the shortcuts, but they have to be hard to reach, like for example you can run on a serpent like road with mountains, so you can follow the road or you can jump into the mountains and go straight, but you have risk of falling and die (and in that case you are suposed to not lose MP and start from the begining, that way you should take the shortcuts at your uwn risk).

 

Also it would be nice if there would be a weekly or monthly price for the best time in the race with a statue in prontera, like the other rankings ones, but this should be the player mounted of course

 

And lastly, I think there should be the "VIP" option for players that like to expend money on premium mounts and stuff like that to have their own pay to win race xD (I think Gravity would be happy for that )

[ZeroTigress]

I'd still prefer there be a separate race track map instead of racing on the world maps so we don't bother players that are leveling and such.

yeah, me too T_T but that would require more development 

[Idun]

I like the race idea! When it was originally proposed, one of the ideas we proposed was to design a race map as a way to make it fair and fun for everyone. Unfortunately, that will take some time to develop. However, we can certainly test out a few racing type events. The main difficulty would be refereeing the event, as a race of the existing maps would allow people to "cheat" by switching mounts or simply dismounting and using some class-specific speed bonuses. My other idea was to create some NPCs that give "checkpoint" quests. This way, you'd have to race along a particular path, and it might be easier to referee. The main challenge would be making sure everyone followed the rules to make it fair. Perhaps a special, limited duration mount/buff item can be made that would only let people mount once. Hmm. I think this is something we can definitely work on!

[VModSalsa]

Racing really would be neat. I could see it using maps that we already have, but instanced for the race itself - having a specific track to follow on South Plain, or racing around one of the Verta Delta loops.

Unfortunately, hosting a race event without a special race system developed for the game would be really difficult to make fair. But I'll add it to the list of ideas!

Type: game

Time(s) desired: Any months, weekends (this event required more than 1 day)

​Title of Event: Darkness of Midgard (can be series)

Content and Example : Midgard is on darkness ! ​King Reinhard being Mad King who possessed by evil spirit and all Midgard people (npc) lose control ! they attack player's !

 

it's like monster invasion event but we're fighting the NPC (like kafra, king reinhard, etc). or in simple, monster with NPC shape. it's started from Morroc to Alberta then at last at Prontera. There is 1 objective : Kill King Reinhard, but I think add some side objective is good olso like find npc who can help fighting in our side (not in big city). Make it like movie / anime with good story. And we're need all level range player from non ml 1-50 until ml 1-40, which is in the city will be divided to 5 area for some range level.​

Area 1 : for ML 20-40 (with boss inside)

​Area 2 : for ML 1-19 (with boss inside)

​Area 3 : for lvl 26 - 50 (must kill all monster at this area but no boss)

​Area 4 : for lvl 1 - 25 (must kill all monster and no boss)

​All area must be cleared before killing last boss in every map in big city

 

this event should looked like Help the king who possessed with evil spirit, so should be hard to kill the king.

Type                   : Game

Time(s) desired : Weekly

Content              : Treasure Hunt per guild so basically its a guild tournament without pvp content.

Example             : The Amazing Race(TV Shows)

 

its just like the tv shows where is a tournament between guilds so there will be a clue which will be given by GM, the first clue will be announced globally while the rest will be given by GMs. To find that clue all guild members must participate in order to find the treasure that gm hide, there will be 1 winner or 3 winners (can be edited).

Clue Example for the next GM locations/check points : "he/she will be standing on top of little island with some anchor in it" (alberta maps near the beach on southeast area)

Each clue has it own challenge to get the treasure, ex : "do 3 different dance on prontera", "find an item named : xxxx" or the most simple challenge a quiz within every checkpoints. all the challenge will be given from gm and to prove it they must do/link the items.

 

i've held that event back in indonesia and the response are good

some prize like 1 stack hhb or gsb thingy, even better the first winner will got a guild house for 1 week.

this event is a good chance for player to communicate with each other and get to know most of the game elements.

Example             : USA lottery or parking free at monopoly game

 

I am wondering about zeny we spent to npc like repairs, auction tax, buying item from kafra (butterfly, mallet, etc), statue fee, flying fee, etc. where the zeny go ?

i think it will be great if all those zeny be a prize for the lottery.

player must buy lottery ticket that contain numbers with mp with limited purchase like 5 lottery ticket / id(account)

and every month the prize number will be announced at forum so player will actively at forum.

 

example the prize number is 123456789

1st winner (exact number : 123456789)  get 50% zeny's from all npc's

tickets with number 12345678x (means 10 tickets) wil get the rest of zeny (50% for 10 winners / 5% each) or items from gm

[100000642812735]

actually I have a few potential events:

 

Type                    : Forum

Time(s) desired : any (probably at turn of seasons?)

Content              : RO 2 rhyme/sing-a-long

Example             : have the forum members come up with various rhymes or sing-a-long that have a clear Ragnarok flavour.

 

i.e. 'mary had a little lamb' RO2 style:

(original lyrics)                                                       (RO2 version)

Mary had a little lamb                                             Aione had a poporing

it's fleece was white as snow                                  it's gel was green as grass

and everywhere that mary went                             and everywhere that they both went

the lamb was sure to go                                         they truly had a blast

 

it followed her to school one day                            Took a ship to alberta

which was against the rule                                      to lay upon the sand

it made the children laugh and play                        fell into the sewers there

to see a lamb at school                                           and met the culvert band

 

Type                    : Game

Time(s) desired : Any (weekday hour long event, every 6 hours on a friday perhaps)

Content              : Poring says

Example             : some time in the week a GM (or event bot) comes on and begins Poring says. Poring will say something (i.e. NPC or mob name, maybe just a clue) and the players race to it (if NPC must 'talk' if mob must defeat). first X number of players to do so get a point (similar to current triviabot hour)

 

 

Type                   : Game (development req)

Time(s) desired : seasonal, special month long event (or monthly, week long event)

Content              : Splat a Spore

Example             : for this event "spore" type mobs spawn in each zone (sharing the lvl of the zone) or in a random zone (like a poring invasion). Unlike normal spore mobs these change colors. defeating any "spore" has a chance of dropping the seasonal event (or monthly special) drop, but each time you defeat a "spore" you get a color based buff that increases the drop rate of the next spore if it shares that color at time of defeat (new color overrides, same color increases buff strength... if zone based level then must be within 5 lvls of mob to gain buff) This could even be done each month, with each month being it's own mob type (i.e. January = Poring, February = Lunatic, March = Spore, etc.)

[nidrein]

Type                   : Game

Time(s) desired : Weekly

Content              : BATTLEFIELD

Example             : Norse Vs Greek

 

 

There will be an NPC which transport those who wish to join the weekly event to a map with 2 camp bases (e.g Jehoon but in a bigger scale). The members who join will be randomly assigned to their Teams (but balanced) defeating towers, and their base... Since jehoon can only be played with 10 people. Why not whole players can have that kind of battle. Different guild will be mixed in each teams, hence there will be unity even belonging to enemy guild as long as they win the battle. Reward will be distributed based by scores/ranking. Say, 1000 players online... 500 : 500... fight, break towers, ambush, pvp, conquer. Just a rough idea, you can do it! All have prizes base on ranks. 

 I think I'm too late..never mind.

Type                   : Forum

Time(s) desired : Weekly

Content              : Making Chuck Norris Joke with RO2 formats

Example             :

 

Replacing chuck norris as the main character that was super badass with a gm/cm/special someone. and also make it in ragnarok 2 related topics

i.e.

"there are 2 pedestal slots empty for the famous buff statue, but njoror needs 3 slots pedestal for him to show up"

[nuekun]

Type: game
Time: weekend
Content: battle royal
Example:
using point system like pvp arena but this time map is prontera city ch 10
every 6 hour prontera city will be pvp map for 1 hour, everyone is free to kill each other .
not only player , but monster like boss dungeon will be spawn with level 80 .
kill player = 100 point
kill assist = 50 point
kill monster = 300 point
point they get from this can be exchange to item like spinel / rune / etc .

[Damphil]

Type: game / stream

Time(s) desired: weekends, or any 1-2 days

Content: World Mission(boss\dungeon)

Example: other MMOgames, AuraKinghtom world boss.

 

Once or twice a week, the world boss will appear, he is not aggressive.

To diversify, another trip to just a big mob. It is necessary to learn from others - there really are almost everyone going to it.

Because he has:

- many HPs

- AoE attacks

Of course in other projects, the prizes for him are not just some kind of drop from him.

 

But first, where?

We share the community on PvP and PvE.

- Two bosses appear on WOE maps (just two days - Wednesday-Moroc and Sunday-Prontera)

- Two bosses on ordinary cards - dungeon Chaos and our favorite dungeon WonderLand.

***reconciliation - even if the dungeon is closed, the boss is not transferred the next time. The day is over, wait a week.

This is also done to ensure that players do not farm them running on 9-10 channels. Enough once a week.

And yes, it is natural for this period, to make a special entrance for everyone in the dungeons. Which will not be considered any other complexity (easy, normal, hard).

What are we fighting for? Why call everyone?

The sick theme is the prize.

- The Chance Coupon

In the game there are NPCs that are no longer relevant, traders for coins from the Arena, dungeons  COA, AOD, HC(SC,AS). NPC pvp-blood.
All dead and no actual.
Offer the development of the Kafra-store for chance coupon.

Type : game

Time(s) : Daily

Content : pvp

Example: Change The Method of colloseum.. because i think its too much if we are waiting until 30 players to join.. so make it just minimum 10. because its kind of boring always pve mostly and we need pvp to relax from farming mobs

 

Type : Game

Times : Daily Optional, weekly

Content : Guild Raid/Union Raid

Example : Once a week or once in three days, get dungeon for guild members, contains minimum 10 player, and thats only for guild members.. cannot helping by another guild.. so i think its make a guild members relationship better and for the reward, if it clear dungeon, each member who joine, will be get the same.. and lot from the boss are quiet nice items
