Fun events not Lag fest

The events created are based on good ideas but poorly implemented. I mean the Easter example. Everyone and their uncle was looking for eggs and the lag was soo thick that for me personally I found and egg but couldnt pick it up because I lagged out so bad. I was first person to it and never got it.
From the people who got eggs they were not that impressive anyways so why did'nt they simply spread this to all the main cities same time?
Spread out the fun and make it far more enjoyable and reduce lag tremendously.
I appreciate the hard work our GM's do to bring some fun into the game but please allow them the freedom to spread it around to avoid these very aggravating lag fest everytime an event happens.

    Indeed , that was a poorly organised event , all server players in one place dosent mean a good thing ,

    if bunnies were spawned in at least 3-6 places in the world , the lag wouldnt have been so big.

    It'd be better if the event's were only broadcasted for the appropriate levels as well. So if wraiths are attacking a low level town a lvl 40+ shouldn't see a lvl 20-30's attack... etc. The event's could be in different places for different levels. Could make some of the special allow x lvl x to x from the teleporters to special instances to reduce the lagfest issue and prevent high levels from taking all the low level stuff.
    The Easter event of which I've heard not much good about should have taken place in different spots for the many levels.
    The Arch lag fest before was just that a lag fest...

    first off you coulda done it at prime time. it was set up way too early. then i got there and all 5000 people that were on were there. they then said they were dropping easter eggs (In all actuallity they were rabbits i found out like 3/4ths the way through the event. then you had people just aoeing everything. now if you can imagine 5000 people running and jumping with their heads cut off looking for rabbits and not the 500 rabbit pets that were there this event was rediculous.

    then if you didnt give the high lvl all the eggs in the first place you then start spawning lvl 70 mobs for them. on top of it the items they got were little to no use for them. they totally shoulda rand a script to send them back to town so that the other 4999 people had a sliver of a chance.

    furthermore an easter egg hunt mean you find eggs not kill rabbits. they shoulda hid eggs around the 3 starting towns. 3 gms wouldnt have been too much to ask.
