    So I haven't read up or heard about any such things as Live Events. So maybe this post is me just want to reminisce about something that I truly LOVED and completely respected about how things were done in Asheron's Call. One of my 2 favorite things about Asheron's Call were the Live Events + Monthly content updates. Some updates were far more significant than others, but what stuck with me the most were how the Developepers themselves got involved. Not only did the pilot the protaganists and antagonists and roleplay out the story during these live events. Most players got to LIVE the events and interact on a personal level with Asheron himself and other NPC's that were currently being played by a developer. And a lucky few people got to actually be part of the story. Like the biggest Monarchs (Guild Masters) being summoned by the shadows and offered to join "the dark side". I won't butcher trying to explain my favorite event. I'll provide a link to someone who put together the event as it happend. Seeing something like this in Pantheon would make me so happy! If anything, I think it would be a fun ball to kick around with people, especially old Asheron's Call players. Enjoy!

    Rejoice.

    I believe they definitely intend to have live events both large and small.

    From the FAQ:

    20.7 Will Pantheon have GM events to keep the world exciting?
    Not just GM events, but an intricate Event System to keep the world more dynamic and a commitment by the live team to revamp older zones to keep them popular as well.

    I hope it will remain true untill the end, as it seems harder to do than any game mechanic..

    Yeah, I'm a little nervous about it. But I believe these guys when they talk about their plans. Too many games have burned me as a gamer with false promises, changing too much and I could go on and on. But the fact that they've seem to have acknowledged this feature in particular, tickles my inner nerd! :D

    This is very Important to me as well. One of my fondest memories in EQ was logging in inn halloween in Karanas and there being a message in yellow from the GM event and seeing the normally beautiful blue sky turn blood red and the trees barren, almost looks as if they were upside down and the roots exposed and spectres and grim reapers snd giant eyeballs floating around everywhere and player bodies littered all around. Matter fact I got one of the best drops I ever got in the game from this. I’ve never experienced anything like it since EQ. Rift events looked cool but that was it. I hope VR stays away from something like that or if they do have something like this that they also do REAL GM events as well
