Suggestion for Monsters of the Moment.

[Liminality]

Mm. I do agree with this idea; while I've a mind to explore rather than always use the most efficient options for leveling, it hasn't escaped my notice that the MotM rarely leave my attention, and a numerous amount of people on the server try to shoehorn their way into things like Anubis parties just because it's really good exp (in fact, a Champion coerced my goodwill into an Anubis party once on my TU priest and didn't contribute at all to helping, so he was more or less leeching off of me).

The desperation to take advantage of this system for people who prefer to play efficiently, as well as the boredom of following the same express route over and over again on alts, or complications it can create because it can be different than what could be optimized for their kind of build, is a little striking.

I personally like the idea of Monsters of the Moment as a spot-lighter; a way to showcase a particular set of monsters without allowing it to upset the economy or playstyle of characters too much. Unfortunately, as Mara described, letting it go on for more than a week appears counter-intuitive to its intention to some degree. (Perhaps Maps of the Moment could be an alternative idea, but that's for a separate discussion...)

I understand that GM-Pandora has a busy schedule, and so cannot update MotM reliably, so... hm... I am not entirely familiar on what custom coding is capable of, but perhaps a script of some sort that automates randomization at a set interval might be something to craft up?
