i understand how events are supposed to get groups of players, if not a mud
wide effort to do something. and i mean, i am all for some of these things.
but sometimes, i personally have to wonder.

and i'll just ponder about a single event.

i remember when magic eater would cutely spawn in the navigators room. it was
about 15k big and could be a cute 10 minute event. i have fond memories of
soloing it, or even watching some BIG highbie back in the day (like blayke)
bash it to nigs, and then i'd zap it with two wands and steal the kill and
laugh at blayke. you know. good times.

and now, with the decreased amount in players. even though the players these
days are exponentially more powerful than those happy days. why is it that the
eater is now a mudwide epic, screw everything over (except merchants, but then
they cant sing ep song and bitch and moan cause thats all the do)

of all the events to be upgraded to mudwide EPIC status. why that one?
as an old player, nothing irritates me more than deciding hrrrrrr, lets take
some time to mud, blast some monsters, whack something dead, rally some
equipment. then yay, magic eater. end of everything. yawn bore.

i dont even know where i am going with this. but. magic eater = crappy event.
bring back magic eater of the old. except have like 8 of them spawn in batcity
or in the various cities across the various body masses.
