I think EP trips would be a fun event to introduce to WG. It usually earns great money and it is fun too.

The basic gist of an ep trip is dding somewhere on higher grounds (in a bh world) with mages (freezers and tbers) and rangers + meleers.
We just dd there and get ep while we wait for targets to come to the dd spot.

DD spot criteria:
-The spot can't be in too high wildy because then targets won't ever come.
-The height advantage
-The spot must be reasonably far away from safe- and single-zone.

In the two spots below your target can't get a right click unless he's very close (in attack range).
So, usually, out of curiosity your target will just run directly towards the dd (thinking you're soloing) and then gets banged out by everyone that can attack him.

Another example of a spot;

This spot doesn't have a great height advantage and the door + npc's are quite annoying.
There are other possible spots, of course.

EP trips shouldn't be hosted in +1 worlds because usually the people that get killed rage and 1 item the dd.

If this event gets hosted; there should be very clear rules.
Because this is an event with very little activity (just waiting for targets and gaining ep), there usually is quite a lot of fooling around.
So, to prevent drama;
-Do not ever attack anyone unless both agree on a fight.
-If you get a WG target and can't come to an agreement upon the fight; just wait until the first of the two gets 8/8 target bar and hop worlds to get a different target.
-Call out your target's display name. Make sure everyone knows about it.
-Only tbers and freezers attack 0 itemers. They might be someone's target.

Looks good. Very good. Maybe host a trial event to test it?

we have done this before. Usually however it is deep, such as wildy volcano, where if anyone comes past, everyone can attack

I always have liked the idea, but I have never experienced it to be able to give a good suggestion about it.

While it might be boring, we can goof off and have fun on TS or whatever.

Sounds like a plan.
I'm getting my microphone soon so I'll probably host one within 7 days and hope an official will be available to (co)lead it

id love to do that, but the problem is we dont have very many pkers in our clan, they dont really care/understand pking as well as others to understand the event, whoever hosts this will have to let those that dont understand try to understand without messing there mind up
