Just throwing this in - Allyknife did a great job sharing our success on Gwyd, the event overall was a huge success. I know some people in the forums were complaining a little but you will never please everyone.
On our server it was a great overall experience. The tier 1 clan spent the entire weekend grinding out the legacies and mord, while the tier 2 clan took advantage of the pockets that Relentless couldn't cover and got some good opportunities at 5* legacies when we were occupied with other bosses, I know that Aithne had a lot more FaceTime with Snorri and Sreng than normal which I am sure helps them get better.
In Relentless it was a long weekend for our Generals while they kept track of all the loot for the DKP tables, they stopped all bidding on items until yesterday then gladly opened up bidding on the new items. I'm sure the last 24 hours for them was just as busy as the weekend but as one general said, "I'm excited to see how much faster we can take down bosses now that everyone is more powerful." Countless members of our clan were able to complete Gara/Skain sets this weekend. Not to mention all the goodies the casters get to add to their toy box.
I saw a number of players we haven't seen active in a long time online this weekend and even some start to come back a little. Personally when I wasn't bossing the 190+ I was farming yaither trying to get the Radiant BP that eluded me years ago (no success), I also spent a lot of time helping lower levels kill Ymir, and the Iceking (I remember when the iceking spear was considered grossly overpowered). It's fun to see the players that never got to experience those days playing around with gear that I remember grinding for.
OTM, great job in coming up with this event, very creative and engaging. I hope your not discouraged by the few that were put out by the event and continue to find fun ways to engage your players!!
