Improve Events

Suggestion description:
Is the event team ever going to host events in different time zones?
For the past week or so my friends and I have been online for HOURS straight and there were no events.
Every time I get on my pc I see event notifications...
why did the admins accept people from the same time zones?

I remember even Clarify and CID hosted events in NA time zone just so certain players could play.
I think if you want the player base to grow (during dead hours) you should get a more active hosts for that time,
not staff who go to school and only host at the same times because they’re in the same country.
I don't know if you noticed but the server dies in the evening of Canada/USA time.
Maybe you guys should get someone who can monitor during these times?
I am not the only player who sees this.
Proof of repetitive time zones could be the VIP Events Thread
Each time Clarify hosted it was at a different time zone.
Look at all ET, same day? same time?
Good job on forum events though, rounds are posted at multiple time zones and a new unique idea. I hope to see more forum events because in my opinion, I see more people on forums than in game.

I remember hosting from morning till night, I still don't see that much people. Is it just you being unlucky?

Making events in different time zones are cool & I'd like to vote yes to this suggestion

hmm imo, this suggestion has a potential, during my playtime (+8 Ph) there are actually no events ongoing. I guess the staffs are sleeping :o.o

I rmb when I was et I sometimes hosted at like 2 or 3 am my time, which was like 7 or 8 pm usa/canada and everytime I did there were like 10-15 players joining the events which kinda took away the fun, for me atleast

Players aren't essentially picked based on timezones, it's down to how well they manage during their trial period or how good their application is when applying, a poor application results in staff thinking that if they can't be bothered to put the effort into something which takes 15 minutes to do then how can we expect them to bother doing events in game.

While you're right that most of the event moderators there are currently are from a similar time zone, the fact that some time-zones get less events is that there are less events in general, some of the event moderators are currently busy with their 2-week finals and what not, so there have been less events going in general.
Other reasons as to why some time-zones get less events is simply the player activity in that time, as Mattie said. When I was trial I decided to host at 4am because I could and when an official decided to help me there were literally 4 or 5 players playing the events, so it's not really as fun to host. This doesn't mean there will be no events in those time-zones, but you'll find them rarer than normal time zones but still somewhat more frequent in the future.

First of all, hiring everyone from the same place is a mistake. This does not help USA/ NA players that want to be in events.
Secondly, This is way before the "2-week exam" period soooo yeah you cant really use that on me. Because its been long before that.
Thirdly, I feel we need to change some event mods to assure this is not a problem for anyone USA/ NA in general.
Fourthly, This resulted in a decline of players also, even though you may not see it. Many people dont play because these times were on in USA and NA ITS A DEAD ZONE. SO FIX IT

I've hosted with players a lot from USA, so I don't think the time zone is the problem.

Referring to Eeksdee, I don't remember seeing you online NA times or any time at all,
were you even active enough? If you hosted "morning till night" why didn't I see you?

Referring to Mattie, yeah the events may start out dead, but it takes time for a player base to grow doesn't it?

Lastly, it's not really fair in regards to event points AND weekly competitions if mods only host at a specific time.

Because I don't go with the IGN Eeksdee most of the time when I hosted?
Why did you question whether I am active? I tried to host it the whole day (since I am on my computer from morning till night) and if you failed to attend any, it is not any of the staff's fault.
