Future of Community Milestone Events Uncertain, Depends on Testing
The current community milestone event is a trial, described as "Right now, 1 and done" [143]. The decision to run similar events in the future hinges on the outcomes of this testing phase [143, 144]. Key factors include how well the data tracking and "FUNctionality" align [141], and whether the event is positively received by players [43, 144]. The creator explicitly states that achieving the goal itself "has no weight on if we do more or not" [144]. Instead, the focus is on assessing the concept's viability and player enjoyment. If the idea proves successful, the team may invest more time in developing additional events; otherwise, it might be retired after this single run [144]. The concept for these world events was inspired by similar features in games like World of Warcraft or Diablo [145].
