When the Heavy Metal live event begins on November 17th, players who log into WAR will see a new tab in the Tome of Knowledge. Clicking on this tab will open the Live Events page, where each day we'll place a new daily task. Completing these daily tasks earns influence, just like you'd earn in a public quest. There are rewards for Basic, Advanced and Elite influence, culminating in the ultimate prize: the chance to play WAR's new classes a full week before they're released to the public! This last reward won't be easy to earn, and players who want to get to the Elite level will need to log in each day and complete on the daily event.

How smart is this? Basically, if you play EVERYDAY and complete the daily added quests for the live event you will gain one week headstart on the new classes. It is so smart in fact I am left wondering why more quests arent added daily. EQ2 has been doing these monthly updates for the Rodcet Nife, pre-expansion Live event and that is cool. But the idea of a daily quest update for the hope of exclusive content is novel to say the least and I would think would be a huge boon for log-ins.

I certainly think it is a novel idea. I am not sure if I like it though just because I am sure for *some* people (not me) it would almost feel like a requiement for being uber, and I am not a big fan of requirements (psuedo or not). As a whole though I think it is a great idea for getting people to see your added content. The other night you mentioned to me the haunted mansion in Loping Plains for EQ2's holiday stuff that I didn't even know existed. I would not have known about it had you not mentioned it, and it was one of the best quests I have done in months on EQ2. The idea of having a UI element that shows all these daily updates is brilliant.
