home events

Guys, I'd like to know. Is it possible for events to allocate servers for 20 slots, on request? That is, for example, you know that you will have a lot of guests and you want to accommodate all. Then you turn on the desired option and you're done. Or if you're a small house, you may not include it
Is it possible? If not, why not?
How can I know the number of bots depends on the number of players, so this seems to be all right

I think that's a great Idea more players. More fun in my opinion.

As far as I know have just the Events servers 20 slots and these are usualy for admins.

I remember Halloween. Was the server to 20 slots + admins could be 21-25 members

There have been special Events played on NI-servers with like 60 players on one server (against bots, no DM!!!), so it is possible for the Head Admins or at least the devs to increase the numbers temporarily.

The thing is that e.g. DB would then play all their Events with maybe up to 30 people, as there always is quite a big interest in their Events. Taken in account the amount of runs they do, XP and loot would increase quite hard for them (more players = more bots). 

I'm also not sure until what point current servers would run smoothly.

No, I hosted the Halloween event, you´re righ normal ppl could go up to 20 on that event but not admins to 25. This was a special event

Events should be organised or at least semi organised were you don't need an admin to do his role of [admin].

I cant see why on the event servers the player cap could be 18 then leaves 2 spots for admins/devs.

Admins do play a role in events that is setting them up so there should always be 1 or 2 spots reserved for them. For why they have 4 atm I have no idea.

When on earth was this?
The only thing I can come up with is the swadian invasion
Which has a whole bunch of factors going in to it that change it from the others

If you are implying that this is a negative consequence, then every house can recruit players and make their events desirable. It's not their fault that they don't want to play Rivers Conflict for three hours. Development shouldn't limit a feature because one house gives the community what it wants: fast and efficient games for the best chance and highest quantity of loot.

Like 4 years ago at least, maybe even 5. The Event I think about was a unique one if I recall correctly (played on Swadian Temple). The swadian invasion events are a bit different without the bunch of bots around ye

Yes, I thought about it as a negative consequence at the first moment. Reading through everything again now, I have to agree with you. Might even bring the advantage to newer players to join events of the "old" houses like DB, which they usually wouldn't get a spot in with the current limit of max. 16 non-admin players.
