I need a means to get the word out server-wide of a potential player generated event. Some means of getting the word out to as many people as possible. How, I don’t know. A big billboard in Lion’s Arch? A mass-mailing? A dolyak with signs hanging off him, horns on his head and fireworks shooting out his… hey, what’s that skritt up to… sorry, where was I? Ah yes. The mass dissemination of information. It can be reviewed by you all prior to going out (spam prevention of course) if requested… what do you have available? Anything? Ideas at least?

Sincerely, your favorite mesmer:

Volkon.

Hey Volkon,

unfortunately we do not have a way to promote events like this in game. What we have done in the past is that we promoted player run events through the forums and our social media channel, and the guild/group of people organising the event spread the word on the world they were running it on.

As others have suggested, creating a forum post about the event is also a good way to get eyeballs on it.
