I hope they keep doing events like this. The game needs it. People are dropping like flies. Everyone is bored and stagnant waiting for the much needed fixes and the TC patch.
Even if only a handfull of players show up it is better than nothing.
Its rather sad a touted "sandbox" has to resort to these types of things to keep the remaining players entertained.
These are the sorts of things they've always said they'd be doing, so they aren't "resorting" to anything, but doing what they said they'd be doing from the beginning.
And you act like other games never hold events, or that becuase it's a sandbox that it can't be a developer run events.
I shall agree that the camera man was doing some great camera works there, I am glad that such is possible no in our game.
Yet, for everyone just looking at this from a rather neutral view, the actual content of it showed MO with a piss-poor gameplay that allowed for utterly helpless ones to get butchered at will - would have been nice to see more than just butchering. This is especially valid when looking at the speed in which horses went down, making all the event a pointless bunny hunt.
Such a event great idea with lots of potential. But considering the average MO playstyle being RPK and grief, announcing the start and end points of the trip surely was a silly move if you don't at least call Kranesh to be a safe-zone for actually allowing gameplay.
I'd love to see more such events, but they'll need to allow for more than just getting butchered without any chance to succeed the task at hand.

You act like other games would even call this an "Event". I guess forming a Raid group would be considered an Epic Event in MO speak?

You're the only one calling this an epic event.
I wouldn't expect you to understand why some people enjoy things like this, afterall, you don't understand why an mmo needs "community".
