Onrpg: How big is the effect of your community in your overall operations in cabal alz?

Knell: The community is always one of our highest priorities when we make plans for CABAL Online. We always try to keep the community’s concerns in mind before we make any decisions such as introducing anything new to the game.

Onrpg: There was an OGPlanet wide Olympic Event that was done last year, was there a favorable response from cabal gold players? Would there be another event of this magnitude in the future?

Knell: The Olympic Event was a huge event that took quite a bit of planning, and players from all of our games had quite a bit of fun. The CABAL players that participated really loved the event because it was the first time we ever did dungeon crawls with GM supervision, giving players instant bragging rights. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the event, we could only allow a very small number of players to participate, but those who did really enjoyed it.

Onrpg: How do you guys think of events that would fit for cabal alz? What factors do you consider whenever you think of events?

Knell: Our team constantly meets and discusses event ideas that we feel the community would like. Our main concerns are that the events focus on aspects of the game that our players really enjoy and that they are genuinely fun. We also make a point of constantly trying to come up with new events so that the community doesn’t get bored from doing the same events too often.

Onrpg: Do you consider the events suggested by players in your forums as a source for your inspiration in thinking of in-game events?

Knell: While most of our events are original concepts that come from internal discussion and from trends we see in the forums, we have definitely listened when the community has event ideas. In fact, we ran a very successful “Event to Event” where players could submit their own event ideas.

Onrpg: Is it possible for OGPlanet to host a live event for cabal gold Players?

Knell: OGPlanet often hosts live events. Just recently, we had an in-game Santa give out presents to players, a hide-and-seek with the GMs event, and some mini-events where players could challenge the GMs. The main issue with live events is that they tend to exclude players that cannot be on when the event is going on, so we try to also make many events automated and long-term so that everyone can enjoy them.
