If you check the Development forum, you'll see we're working on a daily event.

I'd like to finish this up, so I want to know. What would actually make it "fun" and not tedious?

I'm planning for a puzzle or two, sort of a maze, working together with people.

Rewards will include things like Yen, JP or even a stat point.

RIDDLES AND TRIVIA!!!

or... chance games vs. players, something like poker but can be oriented to feudal like playing with bones or dice

What do I think makes an event fun?
The prize.
The group.
Quests.
A role in the group.
Something I can accomplish that requires me to think. Maybe a puzzle, maybe a maze, maybe a secret. I like to feel special. I guess. I like those simple mechanics in Devil May Cry. I like quest ran events because there's something new to do.

So yeah, I think talking to people (grouping) and finding secrets makes an event fun.

This is going to be an automated event at specific times, but I think I can do riddles and trivia. We'd have to have a lot of possible riddles/trivia so they aren't repeated too often.

What do you mean by "quests"? I don't think this event would last longer than say 30min since it occurs at least once a day.

My bad, I was.. brief. I meant stuff like save the princess, do this or that (complete the event) and mob programs (where they talk to you and create a plot or theme..)
