To smoke's list I want to add that 1v1 and 2v2 regs also happened with your own supplies. Regs using your own supplies happened much more often then reps using your own supplies since some people complained they would fight against 5-6 opponents in a rep, use tons of supplies and only get 1 team ticket out of it when others on their team would die in 30 seconds, use barely any supplies and still get the same prize.
As for autosupply in regs, it was mainly used in the weekly 1v1 reg to give everyone an equal chance and to not make the tour about who had the best gear. On occasion it was used for your everyday reg but usually your everyday reg was with your own supplies.
Personally, I don't remember more then 2-3 scavenger hunts combined on all the versions of XUO I played, and I certainly don't remember tub hunts. I do remember me and Tiesto putting some team tourney tickets in Occlo a few times but that was when XUO was dieing and we did just about anything to try and promote some activity. And there certainly weren't any clues when me and Tiesto did this. It was pretty obvious with us saying "there are some team tickets hidden in Occlo!".
Out of everything smoke mentioned the only things we don't have now are a 2v2 area in the duelstones, color wars, and an event I just remembered called LoD. But Necro is asking us to come up with some non-PVP events, not more PvP events lol.
In case anyone is wondering about the LoD (which I think stood for Lair of Death), it was a player vs mosnter event with pvp disabled and it was an event where you would fight a few waves of monsters that got stronger and stronger until finally you fought a big bad*ss boss at the end.
If I remember right (this was 4-5 years ago so I'm probably not 100% right here...) there were 2 sets of monsters you could get.
The first set was something like this;
1st wave: snakes and giant snakes
2nd wave: different types of spiders (acid, black widow, etc)
3rd wave: different types of orphidians
Finally: the big bad boss.
The other set was something like this;
1st wave: rats
2nd wave: ratmen
3rd wave: lizardmen
Finally: the big bad boss.
I half remember fighting some other types of monsters as well but can't really remember them.
The area for this event had a small area at the entrance with a banker and animal trainer, and in the center of the arena there was a 3 story tower which also had a banker and animal tamer and you could stand in it to fight the final monster who was summoned just outside it.
I can't give you specifics about how the monster waves were handled (ie scripted to come one after the other and only when all the monsters were dead or if the staff member hosting it had to summon them) since this was hosted on XUO2 before I was staff there. I have a feeling it was scripted since this sometimes lasted a few hours since sometimes not many people would join.
As for horseraces being a bad idea because of lag, smoke give it a break please? The lag has decreased since getting our own server compared to with XS4ALL, and everyone will have some degree of lag no matter what. But that doesn't me we can't do anything. Go back to the other thread where we discussed this if you want to go on about it.
