My event idea

Ok, so this is something I've been thinking about a lot, and I kind of have all the basics worked out, I just need some feedback.

The idea comes from the game "King of the Hill" with a "sort of" RTS feel, or at least I feel that way about it.

Basically we'd take all the people there to a location. I wanted a hotspot, but there isn't a suitable location without risks (Ardy is a possibility on a unpopulated world).

When we get there we'd divide everyone into two teams (or more depending on attendance).

How it'd work is each team would try to take control of houses/buildings in the area (other places could be Port Sarim - the shops, Draynor - the houses north of the bank). So the battle would last for ~20 minutes and at the end of it all the referees (I'd be one) would go to each building and count up how many people from each team are in each building - the team with more in that building claims it. The team with the most buildings wins.

It would be an all styles fight:

Melee: Steel/Mith armor and weapons
Range: Leather (studded is fine) armor with maple bow iron arrows
Mage: Reg robes with fire strike spells (bolt if you think strike is to weak)
- Any ammy
- Leather boots
- Leather gloves (except rangers)
- Any food

The idea is people keep returning (since it's little to no loss).

We might need a few more referees and I was thinking having tertiary+ be referees, but it really depends on the turnout.

I think this even has the potential to be incredibly fun if we get enough people. People could be really imaginative. Like coordinate on TS breaking the team into two or three groups assigned to take specific houses and move from house to house clearing it up until the point of actual tallying of members.

That aspect came from when I play C&C or AoE when you start to expand your base. Send the unit to build another TC or Command Center and have units come in from the initial starting position and halfway through the map.

I'd really love for this to be an allied event because that would make it even more fun. We could have two rounds:
- WG vs allies (two way, or three way depending on which allies turn up and how many from each clan)
- Total mixing of all clans

So, give me your feedback. All suggestions are welcome. I *think* everything is pretty solid with exception of location. I would like for this to be an F2P event (hence suggesting Port Sarim) because it would open it up to more people.

So yeah, comments?

TBH I dont know if we would be able to pull enough

That would be the main and biggest problem.

IF we could pull the people it would be good fun other then that it sounds pretty good to me and could be fun to play against our allies.

That's the thing, we'd need the pull.

That's why I was asking people what kinds of events they liked. If they like it, they're more likely to come.

Hopefully people like this idea. There is a group that would come no matter what, but still that's really just a minority.

From my experiences of holding events, telling people to get items in advance never works (such as steel/mith). Unless you plan on handing out 30 or so sets of steel, it's a problem.

Also, PvP is not a very welcoming place. If a pker/1-itemer spots us, the event is ruined. If we did do your event, it would have to be with allies, our pulls to non-pvp events right now is about 10. Awful.

I'm pretty good at thinking up new thins to do in scape, so if you need any more help let me know. Like the zombie survival game, it takes a lot of setting up and work and the results aren't always worth it. People tend to misbehave during these kinds of things.

I think it could work but you really need to a gameplan set in stone... when I made my event people hid in runecraft altars...

I believe this is the idea that WE decided on and brainstormed a while ago?
...
We also decided on a place.... the houses around the fight arena.

I don't think this is the time to be doing this... we can't even pull 15 people to a 3 day prep war at prime time.
