Short term PoE style leagues/races

1
Author Content Date
I haven’t played Path of Exile for a while but the thing that refreshed that game for me back in the day was the short duration leagues/races they used to run. I think some of these were as short as 2 hours, and went up to 7/14 days etc.

Has there ever been conversation about running short term e.g weekend / 7 day servers which culminate in a GVW/WOTW? I wouldn’t suggest longer duration than that as it takes away from the main server. However a week/weekend every few months shouldn’t be damaging.

Doing these short term server events every now and again could bring back some of that new p server hype, and bring players into the community who might not want to play long term and instead play intermittently.

With fresh p servers, the first couple of GVWs/WOTWs were the most fun as you weren’t entirely sure who was who and what stats/gear they had.

It would also give an opportunity for some of this server’s vets to show how efficient they are with levelling given the short window to optimise your character ready for GVW/WOTW.

GVW/WOTW winner stats could be kept along with rankings of char stats/level shown at the end to show where people ‘placed’.

Thoughts?
