I have a mixed set of feelings about the various Star Wars: The Old Republic reputation events. On the one hand, it annoys me that I can’t just go do bounty contract stuff when I want, but I have to wait for the week to come back around. On the other hand, the rotating schedule means that I can’t burn out on it after a couple of weeks, and I actually can have goals for when it shows back up again. It also means that the state of the game isn’t static from week to week, which I can appreciate.
The net result is that there are usually events running in the game, though, which prompts this question: How frequently do you want events in an MMO? Is once a month for a week enough for you to feel as if the game is being shaken up by new events? Would you prefer more frequent events rotating on a regular basis? Or would you prefer fewer events, allowing you to just dive into new content more regularly until you’re done with it or tired of it?
