when players organize events it's fine, but when the game makers do it, it's lame.

Well, sort of, yes. Player organized events tend to be well thought out and fun for everyone involved. The game makers, on the other hand, pop in, spout off something scripted and riddled in chat, then spend most of the "event" being staffed or naded in a sea of lag.

I understand the role playing thing they're attempting, but it's not LEADING anywhere. I've been to every event and nothing that has been hinted at has come out. Development problems? Probably, but they can't keep saying the same things over and over and expect (some of) us not to get upset when nothing comes of it. Save the rhetoric for the grog blog Disney. If they're going to try for an in-game event, let it be something that's showing us some progress.

You're absolutely right. By the end of the year, if they don't have at least the second story quest out they're going to be losing a lot of members. If nothing comes out by the next time I need to renew my subscription, I'll go basic. It's not worth spending money on something that isn't going to bring you enjoyment.

In-game events would be much more fun it there was less lag, and even they aren't too fun. Now if they had special "event content only" that would be good. The EITC GMS were a bit exciting but what if they had mini sea monsters out while they were sailing? Sure it may be hard, but it would not only keep people busy but it would bring hope to people that have been waiting for content for a long time.
