Thanks to all who were in Daggerfall City or Rivenspire for those 20 games of Hide and Seek!

It was entertaining to see hordes of people looking for someone when they'd earn a cash prize for doing so. I'd much rather lose my gold by giving it back to players by doing events together, than buying overpriced purple items from trials.
Maybe I'll do it again soon but in other cities like Sentinel or Wayrest. I handed out a total of 460k gold to new players and veteran players (20k per game). Some of which thanked me because the gold let them upgrade their bag space to 90, and others because they could buy a mount at lvl 6 instead of saving 17.2k gold by lvl 30 or later.
There was also a moment where my game crashed when I gave the final hint to my location, and at least 20 people swarmed the church doors in Daggerfall. I don't know if anyone found me because of the crash, so I gave every person inside the church 3k gold.
I'll gladly throw away more of my gold like this because it puts a positive image of the game in a new player's eyes. And the more positive that experience the more likely they will stay subscribed, and then we all benefit form that.
Honorable mention to Melinda Davis to winning 3 times out of the constant 20-40 players at all times.
Edit: Oh, I have a suggestion to make which I thought of after this whole thing. There should be a 6th chat group, say /g6, which sends whatever you type to all online players on your friends list.

Inco✭✭✭✭And here I thought it was someone trolling in the game. Good on you for doing that. I saw your announcements and everything. Very cool.

Even if someone were trolling in this scenario, I wouldn't call them out on anything in the chat either. Just sets a bad mood and people bicker and all.3 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭lol I love playing hide and seek in this game. It may sound lame, but taking a break from crafting for people, PVP, leveling alts, etc.. it's more fun than anticipated --- which is a great thing btw!2 -
Silver_Queen✭✭Can someone please do this in the AD? That's amazing."The Ayleids? Oh, yes. Nice fellows. Took themselves too seriously, though, and what did it get them?"1

✭✭✭✭✭That's awesome @Fat_Cat45. I happened to be running around Daggerfall when you were close to finishing up and saw people (including you) talking about it in zone. I didn't get a chance to join in (I was in the middle of something), but it was pretty cool to hear something like that going on.

Fat_Cat45✭✭✭✭✭New rules for tonight.
Before I did 20k to the first person who found me, and then started a new round.
Now I'm doing 10k to first, 5k to second, and 3k to third.0 -
Fat_Cat45✭✭✭✭✭A cumulative total of 680k gold has been given away (my personal gold too, not a guild). 460k yesterday and another 220k today.
I feel like I should really regret this, but it was all going to sit in my bank anyway. Plus, happy new players = more subscriptions = higher player base = everyone wins.
