As was suggested by someone earlier, the forums stickies have been pruned. Should you have a suggestion for something to be unstuck/stuck/etc. Please feel free to either let a mod, or me, know.
Thanks

I think I found the event you all were talking about, obviously before my time here.
Is this it?
If not, I'd love more information.
Thanks!

The part I marked will be difficult to repeat.
This was the introduction of Culture Armor and Weapons.
During 1 week GM's would spawn some bosses with recipes in Khemi Harbor on random times on all servers.
Just to introduce these and start the recipe hunt by players.
Introduced 29th October 2009 (see under Tradeskills)
I guess World Bosses will be the closest thing to this we will see. Which is a pity .... the total chaos while fighting these dungeon bosses was the best part of it.
Xiuhcoatl, Xipil, Udiya, Zhoerong lvl 80 HoXes .... multi-speccing?
Gorgophone lvl 80 Barb, Kheiron lvl 80 PoM (Heal?), Uruloki lvl 80 Demo (Nub), Berenike lvl 80 Conq (retired.) All raised on Hyrkania RP-PVE (R.I.P.) server.
[undisclosed] lvl 80 HoX (!), Marbhaisgort lvl 80 Necro (fresh), Chahwuk (ToS)/Merav(Necro) lvl5x (for when I get to do Purist-achievements) Cromites.

If to be ready T5 PvE, T4 PvP or Craft revamp, people less write in forum, but more play
Kattas - 10.PvP, full T6 and full AA demo
*sigh* That's the kinda fun stuff that keeps people actively playing. Nothing quite like having someone in Global or regional chat's screaming out 'Yeti's (probably just Cimmerians) invading Tesso!' to break up the monotony of 6man/raiding callouts (and AoCStore spams).
Slith's posts illustrate the issue very well.
There has been very, very little community management at all so far.
I suggested to save the money spent on an invisible community management and invest it into the technical department instead. That, funnily, did wake somebody up and something happened I probably am not allowed to talk about as it was what they call "moderation" here.
The forum would, in my view, be the first thing to look at when evaluating the community management's quality. It's a bit better currently, but the amount of outdated, but still stickied announcements was legendary. A closer supervision of volunteer "moderation" would be wise, too, I think.
Besides the issues mentioned by Slith, I want to add one more thing: AoC is focussed on raiding and 6-mans currently. People often have trouble finding enough / the right players / raid communities, which leads to existing content not being used as much as it could and player activity being lower than it should.
Anything that can be done to alleviate that would be helpful to Funcom. Examples:
- Threads with raiding times and planner adresses. That is occasionally done by players (maintained one myself on Asgard, back in the days), but in my opinion, that is a very important issue that should be supervised by the community management.
- Contests/activities that encourage players to help out other raids, take up new players and so on.
- Maybe make something like the "player spotlights" done in the past (of little interest, in my opinion) with raids/guilds. Or a contest for the best raid/guild advertisement.
Organizing events like a "Yeti invasion" would be pretty cool stuff, too. Spawn an increasing amount of level 50 elite Yetis with increased AA XP rewards in Conarch, followed by the "Yeti Chief", a level 80 raid boss shouting threads to the Cimmerians, dropping a box of five T3 tokens for everybody - stuff like that.

Hi, Tomium, when starts PvP week, make please about PvP festival news in http://www.ageofconan.com like about WB.
In my opinion this message is more important than news about World boss. This message must to contain information about location where PvP events to transpire on PvE server and PvP server.
