Regarding events & patches

We got into a discussion about the topic on discord but I figured that a thread would be better.

As being a player that mostly play all kinds of games in cycles the events are really something precious to me. I really enjoy the "never ending cycle" of seasonal events and am sad that they're growing a lot less frequent.

I really appreciate and understand all the hard work everyone on the staff puts in and that the event thing creates a lot of stress and extra work to do. I'm not at all trying to say that you guys are not doing enough. On the contrary!

It's of course a lot of fun when events are fresh and new things come out each one. Personally, I would however prefer that we have a recycled event rather than no event at all. Maybe that something that could be looked into?

If permanent content and updates are taking too much time, whip out an old event that maybe players could be excited about instead? I mean.. We've had 7 years of events so perhaps even some would be nostalgic to people who have played here a long time!

Regarding patches and updates, perhaps you could move away from the patch having to come with the event? Instead take the approach to have events come up when they "should" and patches come approximately when ready. This would hopefully relieve some stress from the staff and not put you in a position where you have to either delay the event or rush the content.

I think that this would create a even more "steady" form of excitement and flavour to the server with patches weaving in between events.
