Well, it has come to my attention (Events Host) that many of you didn't show up for the last event. I put at least 20 or so names up there, some had reasons (it was at 3:30AM is a good one, I personally had to go see my father) but that's besides the point.
I've seen a terrible trend here, one that doesn't please me at all. First event: The drop party, tons came out. Then the Trawler, a handful (which was enough to pacify us) came out. Then the Ironfist. Only 4. FOUR? What happened?
I've talked it over with Seiferoth, and a few of the Staff members, and we all feel for the better of the community it is best to cancel the Halloween Drop Party. You haven't shown enough motivation/spirit for me/Seiferoth/Firenimmo to back this up financially, and in truth, I don't mind dropping anywhere from 1M to 8M on you guys because I care.
So that's that. If you think you can convince us otherwise then please, post here or talk about it in IRC.

I can't come (have to go to a Halloween rave) but i think cancelling it would be kinda harsh.
Maybe change the event or so...
Do something that has never been done before

Perhaps consider moving the iron fist to another date and personally contact those who agreed to join.

Now, unless you want to go around PMing about 50-250 players that want to go but "can't make it" then I don't feel that is a feasible suggestion.

Drop parties are oviously going to be more sucessful because when people see a line of people yelling drop party they jump in because they want free stuff. We dont have enough members to really do a sucessful forum only trip. We have enough people to have one, just not enough that want to come. I say keep the party and get RW more members, after 1 or 2 more drop parties we should have more than enough members to do any kind of trip.
Just a thought...

Agreed.
For me I can never attend things like this or say I can as I'm usually band or bring filtered from RS.

i personally would like to come to a party, or event, the only problem is that it is usually scheduled at a bad time. i read the first post stating where/what/who, then decide if i can go or not. if i can't i usually dont bother responding, because im sure the thread has enough people saying, "cant go, sry"

I understand what Makoto is trying to do here. The drop party will definetly be a bigger success but everyone should try to make it to all events, even if it doesnt sound like much fun.
I think we should still have the drop party though and try to encourage members to attend more events.

We feel people are being greedy. Drop party at release of RW=HUGE HIT. Trawler=decent amount of people. Ironfist tourney=4 people. Even if all the people who had said they would come did, it would've been what, 15-20 people? That's pathetic. We have 800 some odd members, and yes, I'm aware they're all not active. Let's just say we have 100 active members. That's 20% of the active members. We scheduled it two weeks early, we tried to find a good time zone, but still a good amount of no-shows. Thing is, I guarantee you if there was some rune up for grabs as the prize for each category, our level 65-75 and 75-85 would have been PACKED. We're going to try and get some more people who actually care about this site before more events, that way they'll come for fun, not money.
