    What happened to Tournaments?

    The last I recall, we did not get anything new to do with these tournaments/events systems.

    Back in July 2010, Turbine began the Open Beta testing for 'Tournaments'. It was really enjoyable and brought each server together for a rush to get to the next round. I understand it was just a test, but is there going to be any further tests or appearances of tournaments, as they were great fun.

    Was that the thing having to do with Skirmishes? As I recall, few people that I knew of (that I knew of, mind you) actually participated in it.

    Re: What happened to Tournaments?

    I believe Turbine tried some Skirmish tournaments. Due to unreliable, inaccurate, and partial exports of data to the web servers which have never been fixed. Turbine gave up on this idea.

    In addition, Turbine had some exploit problems or at least creative ways to take advantage of the scripting and instance design with the leader boards and Skirmish instances. Turbine fixed the big public issue. I do not know if they fixed all the issues. The teams or individuals with knowledge of the quirks of the various instances have an innate advantage over everyone else.

    BUMP

    This event was a lot of fun.

    Fix the Mylotro skirmish leaderboard/tracking and let's do it again!

    Wow forgot all about these

    It was a good idea though. Fun to run something different. It would be a good thing to bring out again since we are a ways out from Rohan.

    My only suggestion would be multiple kinds of tourneys. A group end-to-end tourney is a bit more fun overall then group to small group to solo.
    Do everyone a favor and read your tooltips.
