I've been checking out the new event system and have started to put together this guide for event participants and creators. There are still a few things I need to check and some detail to add, so this is a work in progress. I've made notes in the text about things that are missing or uncertain. I'll update more as I fill in the gaps.
I hope this helps
The Event List
You can access the Event List by right-clicking and selecting System -> Main -> Event List. You can also access it through the action library or set up an icon on your quickbar.
You’ll see a list of forthcoming events with some brief details about them:
View image in gallery
By clicking on the running stick-man icon at the bottom right, you can view full details about the event you’ve selected, including the rules, the prizes, and the names of the participants who have already registered.
Click the second icon at the bottom right of the event list to see map of the event area so that you know where you need to go. Events are held either on a Land Area or in a designated Event Zone (e.g. Zychion Citadel).
Event Rules
An event can have several different rules or combinations of rules.
Most importantly there is the Win Rule, which will be one of the following:
Additional Rules can be selected by the event creator. Not all of these options are available for every type of event.
There will be also be a Minimum Reputation requirement. You can not enter the event if your Reputation (see the Social category in your skills window) is below this level.
Registering as a Participant
To register as a participant in an event you need to go to the LA land marker or the Event Organiser NPC in the area where the event is taking place.
At an Event Organiser, you must click on the Organiser to access the event list. At an LA, click on the marker and then click the running men icon at the top right to get to the event list.
Once you’ve got to the event list you can view full details of the event by clicking on Settings. In the Settings window, click the Register button to enter the event, then click again to confirm your entry. The entry fee will be deducted from your PED card.
It is not possible to register for an event through the global Event List. You must visit the area where the event is being held, and you must register before the event begins or you will not be able to take part.
If the event organiser has reserved tickets (see the Event Creation section) then you can use one of these to register. You just need to have the ticket in your carried inventory, and when you register it will be removed from your inventory. When using a ticket the entry fee will not be removed from your PED card - in fact you'll receive 1 PED from the TT value of the ticket.
The event creator does not need to register their place. They will be automatically registered when they complete the event creation process.
During an Event
When the event begins you’ll see the Event Window pop up, which looks something like this:
Here you can see the current Top 3 scorers in the event. At first these positions may be empty, but they will update a minute after the event begins. The scoreboard will then be updated once every minute during the event.
If you scroll down from the top 3 you should be able to see the whole top 10. However this feature is currently bugged and the names do not display.
Underneath the top rankings you can see your own current rank.
You can also review all of the event details and the participant list. From the participant list, you can award a reputation point to another participant. Right click on their name and select Event -> Reputation to bring up a small window:
Use the arrows to select +1 (or –1 if you want to leave a negative rep), and click the tick button to confirm.
The event creator can award 10 points of reputation. Other participants can only award one.
You can rate the event by selecting an option in the drop-down window. The value defaults to Average, as seen in the picture above. At the end of the event, the event creator will receive Promoter Rating points based on the ratings awarded by the participants.
The points received are cumulative, so if there are 10 participants and they all rate the event Very Good, the event creator will receive 20 Promoter Rating points.
During the event, participants may use the event channel to communicate. This is the purple channel in your chat window, so make sure you have this channel enabled. You can type to the channel by selecting it in the chat window or by using the /e tag before you type your message.
At the end of the event prizes will be awarded automatically. Depending on how the event creator has set up the event, any or all of the Top 3 may win a prize. The winner will also receive any prize determined by the Accumulate rules, if these are used.
A global message announcing the name of the winner will be sent to all EU participants who have their event channel enabled.
Event participants will also receive a pop-up window telling them the Top 3 places, and if they have received any reputation points they will be informed of this in the event channel. The event creator will receive a notice telling him how many Promoter Rating points he has received as a result of participants rating the event.
The event chat remains active for ten minutes after the event.
I hope this helps

Event Rules
An event can have several different rules or combinations of rules.
Most importantly there is the Win Rule, which will be one of the following:
- Most Loot: Points are awarded for every mob looted, 1 point for each pec of loot (TT value), so the player who gets the most loot during the event wins.
- Highest Single Loot Wins: Points are only awarded for your biggest kill, again at a rate of 1 point per pec. Players can only improve their points by killing a mob with more loot than their previous best. The player who gets the highest loot from a single mob wins.
- Most PvP points: Points are awarded for killing other participants. Only the kill shot counts. You get most points for killing someone you haven’t killed earlier in the event. If you kill someone more than once, each time you kill that person, the number of points you score from the kill will decrease.
- Most Votes: Participants must award points to each other to determine the winner. This option is rarely used.
Additional Rules can be selected by the event creator. Not all of these options are available for every type of event.
- No Healing
- No Melee Weapons
- No Ranged Weapons
- Accumulate Ammo/Deterioration: this is an option that can be used in PvP events only. The winner will receive the PED spent on ammo and weapon decay during the event by all participants.
- Accumulate Loot: the winner of the event will receive all of the loot collected by the participants during the event. The others get no loot at all.
- PvP enabled
- Max Health: enabling this option allows the event creator to select a maximum health level. Any player with more Health than the set limit will be unable to participate.
- Disable SatNav: selecting this option will disable the radar during the event. Note that this prevents both mobs and players from being seen on radar.
There will be also be a Minimum Reputation requirement. You can not enter the event if your Reputation (see the Social category in your skills window) is below this level.

- Very Poor: the event creator loses 2 points of Promoter Rating
- Poor: the event creator loses 1 point of Promoter Rating
- Average: no effect
- Good: the event creator gains 1 point of Promoter Rating
- Very Good: the event creator gains 2 points of Promoter Rating
The points received are cumulative, so if there are 10 participants and they all rate the event Very Good, the event creator will receive 20 Promoter Rating points.
