Hi RW community!
We used to have Easter, Halloween and Christmas event boxes, which was a lot of fun and I know many players miss. The frequent rotation of new interesting items to get made the game very enjoyable and the current rotation of just Winter and Summer boxes every 6 months is not nearly as exciting. I understand the reasoning, RW was cycling through the available cosmetic pool faster than Runescape was releasing them, which meant we would quickly run out. However, I propose a different approach.
My idea is to bring back an Easter (e.g. April>June), Summer (e.g. July>September), Halloween (e.g. October>Early December), and Christmas event (e.g. Late December>March). This would mean we get a more frequent rotation every 3 or so months to keep the server frequently feeling fresh.
To circumvent the issue of introducing too many cosmetics each year, I suggest making it so only 3 or so items are released each event, rather than 5+ and a set like currently. I also suggest making tickets 2-3 times harder to get so the more limited number of event items aren't flooded into the economy and keep feeling rewarding to obtain.
I also understand this would be more work for the team, so instead of having a full-scale event each rotation with a new boss, etc, I suggest two of the four events (e.g. Easter and Halloween) are simply a change to the boxes/tickets without the other features.
Keen to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks for reading.
