I'm personally not very interested in racing to kill a raid target. But... the event is more than that and it sounds like you earn rewards for various stages of the OoW progression.
What actually has me more interested is the level 51 with 50 AA, pregeared and skilled head start. I loved this about the Mayong Server as you can test drive a class past the 1-40 grind I have already done a zillion times. The max skill aspect is huge to me. When event 1 is done the characters are moved to a new server with standard rules. So I guess it is smart to roll all your 51/50 characters early and do what you can. I'd probably start over on a new regular server anyways as I am getting sick of classic-Velious on progression servers with slow XP rates.
While it is in event 1 mode on Quarm though, you have true box code in effect, FV loot code which may be helpful (could be toxic hard to say) and the majority of the server likely focused on the OoW content that is the event focus.
I'll be making all of the classes I never get leveled past 40 to maximize the value of this. I really enjoy the 55-70 game and haven't been drawn in by the heroic character "newbie start" to get me into the upper level modern game.
Anyone else going to try Quarm?
