Nice of you to ask.

I'm a veteran player with full inventory. Couldn't care less about increased drop rate weekends, nor double benefit weekends. They don't rock my world. (Played during increased green drop rate weekends, but never got a single drop.)

I think to restrict access to some (elite) game areas from the majority of players is very, very stupid game planning. Especially when the game lacks end game content. But as it is, of these types of events only access events might interest me.

In this order:
Double xp
Double fame
Rare chest loot
FoW/UW
Special item drops.

Gamer Weekend (access to Shing Jea Boardwalk, Dragon Arena, Rollerbeetle Racing)

Special Item Drops:
Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clover

as to the last fav five, any special item sounds cool, doesn't have to be shamrock etc. Could be flowers on valentines day or some such thing. You get the idea.

As to new ideas... how 'bout extended drunkness. Effects of alcohol last 2x as long, or you get twice as many drunk pts. Some will say it cheapens the drunk title, but most double events seem to make one title or another easier.

well, that was my 2 cents.

The idea I REALLY liked was the past Lucky Weekend (i.e. St.Patrick's Day Weekend) where both PvE and PvP players could benefit.

I'm primarily a PvE player... so double Glad points, etc. don't interest me... so it was nice to get Four-Leaf Clovers and Shamrock Ales while the PvP players were still happy with their points/fame/etc.

I also agree with other posters that it would be nice to have the special events last longer (at least a full week). There are simply too many real life commitments to be able to fully enjoy a special weekend on GW.

tidussoul · Mar 27, 2007, 05:35 PM // 17:35

This is something i thought of :
Weak weekend

All monsters have 10% less Health ( u can adjust this but i think it would be cool :P )

I agree with this post
Also enjoy, free access to FOW & UW a lot
I met two great groups this WE
Makes people less 'afraid' of taking nubies too.

I have never benefitted from green weekends although increased gold & key have sometimes been Ok for me.

I really enjoyed the double hero XP WE too.

How about a one time guaranteed Green from Boss WE? I have some characters that I would like to get a specific green for and don't want to have to 'farm' it. Maybe even to one green guaranteed from first boss killed on an account when only have heroes and henchies or leader is guaranteed or some such thing. AGAIN, I would limit to once per account, but still.

1. Double Fame

2. Double Glad points

What's nice about the double weekend in those arenas, is the increased activity. It just brings a lot of people around, which is nice.

it seems that devs are determined to have as many events as possible but unfortunately many events increase lag problems and some are rly buggy. 75% of events we have now are useless imho, i'd like to have
Double Lag Reducing Event and Double Bug Fixing Event pls! not like we ever get them but i can dream right

among ur list i think the best were
1. free access events - its time to open elite kurzicks/luxon mis, theres no 1 here, its absolutly impossible to find a group for urgoz f/ex. many ppl dont like factions elite mis cos they had no chance to get familiar with them - dont waste 2 nice elite mis pls! i liked free fow/us access event cos waiting for favor for hrs and hrs is extremely annoying.
2. double exp for capping elite skills, double exp from monsters and such
3. double green drops event was nice, now almost all my heroes got some weapons so i dont need it anymore, but it was useful... too laggy to play tho
4. clover/ale - it was priceless, and clover is great for DoA

5. double key drops

i believe we never had a double chance of chest spawns event - many ppl are trying to get that title, it might help.

ksalanpang · Mar 27, 2007, 06:35 PM // 18:35

1. rare loot from urgoz/deep
2. free access to uw/fow
3. double fame in HA
4. double gold drop
5. double green drop

MagicFiber · Mar 27, 2007, 06:39 PM // 18:39

I like the idea of a Proph weekend. Or an old school weekend with all the old school skills (Old Natures anyone?) for 1 weekend. Gogo spiritspam

That & swap around mechanics? 6v6 Team Arena's? 4v4 Tombs?

Gamer weekend was nice...

I Will Heal You Ally · Mar 27, 2007, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Top 5:
1. Gamer Weekend
2. Unique (green) drops
3. The Fissure of Woe and The Underworld
4. Double Faction in Alliance Battles
5. Rare Chest Loot

Well here are some new ideas I'd like to see:
-Triple Faction in AB
-Double Unique Drop (2 instead of 1)
-All Skills Weekend from all campaigns even if you don't have that campaign
-Double Weapon Damage (staves instead of 11-22 do 22-44 - fun weekend)
Something similar to the Four-Leaf Clover things because I have a feeling GW: Eye of the North will be a hard expansion meaning a lots of dieing.
-Triple Factions in Jade Quarry (too boost it's activity)
-Bosses from cooperative missions

Jongo River · Mar 27, 2007, 09:18 PM // 21:18

Portal to "Pre-Searing" weekend - get to take screenies of yourself wearing ascended armour in Ascalon, before it was trashed. Maybe throw in some new Gwen quests (helping her mother organise a harvest festival or something).

It would require that players get kicked out after the weekend ends and there's the inevitable "you'll ruin the pre-seering micro-economy crowd", but it could be a fun diversion and really nice if it came just before GW:EN.

Zapper901 · Mar 27, 2007, 09:19 PM // 21:19

1. Free Uw and FoW
2. Double Fame
3. Tripple Green Drops

Painbringer · Mar 27, 2007, 10:00 PM // 22:00

1. The Fissure of Woe and The Underworld
2. Green Weekend (please add the bosses in prophecies)
3. Double the gold drop

4. Double your chances for gems- All creatures across the realms will have a chance to drop for the weekend only Rubies / sapphires / amber / jade / diamonds

That would be my favorite
