Assuming we'll have the "big" patch successfully implemented by this fall and hopefully LVL 70 cap along with it I made a list of common events that I think the staff should work on for the upcoming year. The way I set it up is just so we can have one 1 big event followed by 2 small events every 6 months. These would require patching for the most part.
Event contents are open for suggestions and/or discussion. So without further ado:

Notes:
I've already set the dates so they land on a Thursday (maintenance/patch day).
We could go deeper as in which titles names should be made for instance.
Hopefully Daneos provides the necessary tools/cmds for the staff to host these, mad patching will be necessary but once done the 1st year it'll just be rinse and repeat.
Events will obviously be a lot more fun if root game issues are fixed beforehand, including better balancing of all the classes.
