Yeah.
The first event was half thwarted because of lag in all honesty. The crows weren't working due to lag issues and it was bad to the point where no new bunnies could be spawned since it would just create more lag. There was also a scripted surprise that was supposed to happen but I didn't do because with the lag it would have crashed the zone for sure =p.
Weapons would have been good but I think the biggest problem was too many people in an already laggy zone. 74 people in everfrost had the server begging mercy. The arena afterward was just for something to make the first part seem a bit less incomplete. With a bit of luck I am hoping to fix the mistakes for my next event (if there is one).
