Brainstorming: Help Please

[mahawirasd]

first off, nice posts guys.

Thanks for the reply, Panda. I'm quite sure that is good news for quite a few players.

thank you albus and lala for the further discussions into possible changes for woe. I have no experience with woe:SE, but i've noticed how people keep saying that it would take more people to get going properly so SE would probably command only 1 castle and multiple guilds (if any) can compete and everyone will have a fun melee.

That being said, my sentiments regarding current FE woe stands: we would probably derandomize chests and open more castles to first entice people into woe before they will finally converge on the "prime" castles. Allowing more people from more timezones would probably also help - and yes, doing it on saturday would make it more accessible to everyone.

On a side note, after reading lala's post last night, for some reason the thought came up that perhaps the answer to life, the universe, and everything in it can also apply to HeRO's WOE.
a week is 7 days or 7x24 hours which means that's 168 hours
we could divide these hours evenly by allowing the winners to hold on to castles for 42 hours between each woe. The resulting woe schedule would allow for better variety of participants as well as overall more activity for the server (although the weekend winner will only hold one for 38 hours - a disincentive for people to just camp the weekend woe). Let me illustrate:
A. The 1st woe could be on monday 8 pm server time to cater to NA players while still being quite doable for early bird australian players
B. The 2nd woe would be on Wednesday 3 pm - still doable for a variety of NA players as well as being substantially more accessible for the european players.
C. Then the 3rd woe would be on 10 am Friday - again, doable for some NA players while allowing more asians and europeans to join in on the fun.
D. The 4th woe would then fall on 5 am Sunday - might be an issue for partying NA players and australians who work on monday, but should definitely be accessible for any asian and european player who plays RO on sundays.
Just thinking out loud here, and we could definitely figure out a proper arrangement, but i believe it might just work.
