Please add some events to the game, like the x2xp&gold when you guys wanted to test out the new server. It doesn't have to be doubled the xp and gold, could be anything, really.
For example:
-half repairs overall
-half horse-repair (cav-day)
-no repair for melee-weapons
-no repair for heavy horsies (That would be freakin awesome, lol)
-double runningspeed or slowmo (Considering all animations)
-no wpf-penalties (The Day of the Tincans)
-torches with the fireball-animation you devs used against fallen
-double jumpheight
-double arrow- bolt- and throwingspeed
-higher protection on certain armours like tunics with 40 or more bodyarmour
-EU1 (Or NA) with Deathmatch-Mode and constant x5
-and so on...you can really be creative and combine stuff i mentioned =D
This, of course, would only be done once a week and depending on how crucial the changes are, it could go on all day or just 1 hour.
Dunno how hard it is to change stuff like that only for a certain amount of time, or changing it at all, but even simple doubled xp&gold would keep us entertained and hooked, get old players who quit back to play or get new players to stay because "Hey, this is fun, i am really excited what there will be going on next week!"
I have absolutely NO idea why this is not going on yet, because i don't see a downside considering some small events. It is done in every single MMO.
And yes, this has probably been suggested a couple of times, but don't make dig those old threads up again.
