The questions would be more or less events that happened earlier in the game. I've got about 35 typed out but I'm not sure if people would care/know that far back to really generate any interest in it.

Anyways I'd be willing to give 75mil to whoever could answer the most questions correctly but if only 10 people attempt to answer them I wouldn't want to waste 75mil =/

Here's an random example:

How many zen (NOT GOLD) did you get for completing the closed beta leveling contest?

I would be nice to have a trivia that generated some nostalgia ;). It would also be great if someone else wanted to help and make questions more focused around anni-packs and on as I haven't really followed the game since then.

    I didn't really follow much of the events but the idea itself sounds great. Granted only older players would have the highest shot at winning but who know :D

    that'd be awesome, although one idea would be to give out a prize for each question.. would give those that took a break/started a bit later more of a chance at winning (and maybe a more substantial prize for the most answered correctly). There just aren't very many people that still play from when the game first started (I started a few months after the game came out myself >.>) But honestly, any kind of trivia or the like would be alot of fun.. would love to see what questions you came up with xD

    I love the overall idea. I started playing around 6 months after the game was released fully. I'm aware I'm not aware b:chuckle of a lot of things that happened during those 2 years, but I'd like to see the trivia happening.

    If you really wanna do this, I'd have to agree with Adroit. Individual prizes would be a bit more fair than overall ones. Also, the questions would have to be ... varied. Some people have bigger access to TW info, some have less info... You know what I mean?

    Would the trivia be going on here or in game?
    How would the answers be submitted (via pms, or as visible replies in a certain thread)?
    Would the questions be given out at a certain time daily for... lets say a week? Or will it all be random?

    +1 to the idea!b:victory

    I believe it was 1000 Zen. I started playing in the last week of the CB and hadn't played PW on other servers before that so I didn't get to the required level. Considering the fact that I'm a slow leveller and play mainly casually, even if I'd started earlier, I probably wouldn't have gotten there anyway.

    And I think your idea for a contest is great, it'll bring back a lot of memories from those early and really good days of playing PWI on Lost City - "The only server worth playing", as Pandora had put it in his signature. :)

    Sounds great to me. Although I'm not sure how much I'd be able to answer, it'd still be fun to try : )

    Divide the money between the questions, only let one person win one question.

    I think you'd have a winner.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Great idea and really nice to see someone at least thinking of something fun for the server to participate in :)

    I would suck at trivia stuff for I don't pay too much attention to details but I would try and find the results highly interesting :)

    Just one point to be aware of... how to verify the correct answers.
