I was gifted by an excellent suprise GM event about two weeks ago ran by Vyris. It was intense, had great roleplaying and created some new character relationships in Layronna. We had about 10 people involved and it was great fun. A week after that Vyris scheduled a sequel event on the calender and he quickly had 30 people signed up. This time things were a bit different. It was chaotic, huge lag and people were often times talking over eachother so nothing could be understood. After the server crashed for the third time I decided to opt out.
These two events were my first two on the server and having played the first one I was extremely excited for the second. Unfortunately after playing the second one I'm extremely leery of any event put on the calender. Either the event is designed for the same small group of extremely high levels or the event has 30 people signed up for it. Now as someone who has designed and DMed his own NWN campaign I know how extremely hard it can be to DM for a group of even 5 people so I know that you DMs are doing extremely well for how massive this server is. There really needs to be more segregated events being made, for both the enjoyment of the players and the sanity of the DMs. I know an easy way to accomplish this is to simply make all the events for those same high level characters but I'm thinking more along the lines of creating a php system to limit how many events a player can sign up for in a period of two weeks. This is just one idea I have for this problem.
I'd like to hear what the community thinks of the problem and maybe we can brainstorm some ideas.
