Events ideas

Australian Summer (more specifically a southern hemisphere summer event for like AU, NZ, Malaysia etc.) Basically a southern hemisphere summer themed thing in January, something small but fun for maybe about a week where people can chill out playing some fun aussie themed minigames with a special map? Maybe even send the quest plugin for a spin and have a little quest line for the event that's a bit of fun or something like a scavenger hunt. Dunno. Would include an event trailer and run for a week in January. This keeps it away from Pugmas as southern summer is Dec - Feb. Alternatively, could run it at the end of January into Feb to tie in with Australia Day on January 26th. The overall theme would be Australian Outback. Potential rewards or coinciding with public release could include the currently-in-progress Australian Themed Joint/Quit messages.

Lunar New Year I assume most people know what this is. Chinese new year. Asian themed minigames and a special map maybe? Dragon Boat racing? Themed around the Lunar animal of that particular year perhaps. Could do a scavenger hunt too or once again, take the quest plugin for a cheeky spin.This is also a February event though.

Could include a short St Patricks Day event for our potato induced friends too. (havent thought much about one tho) I think having these events that appeal to the different cultures and people on BN

Then the obvious ones of: Easter, 5 Year anniversary, halloween and pugmas. I think using the quest plugin for an event in a very, very minor way that avoids spoiling what we're actually planning with it could also be useful to pique player's interest and see what the feedback is

An event like this could include;

• Snow Themed Map for a Minigame (Small in scale like a splegg or something)
• Snow/Ice Sculpture Contest
• Snow/Ice Sculpture Display Area (Basically the top 5 or something get pasted in a nice little chinese gathering/park area)
