Game of crowns: ideas to make it better?

This business of going in and hoping and waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting) seems kind of annoying to me. Would it be possible to change the mechanics slightly? For example,  you could buy your ticket, indicating that you want to play. You don't go directly into the game area, but instead you can continue to wander around the world and do as you please. When enough people have bought tickets, WHOOSH! You get whisked away to a fun game of crowns, and are dropped back where you were when it's all over.

(anyone else have any ideas?)

  • I posted a "capture the flag" team approach in the main forum if interested.

  • There needs to be a counter or something over the top of the game (in tella hella where potential players can see) that says something like "TWO PEOPLE ARE READY TO PLAY!"
    Nobody knows you're in there waiting until they come in too.

  • I would also like to see a way to choose who you race so that if four friends want a little friendly competition, there'd be some way to do that and not just randomly be instanced. Maybe you could more more for that kind of ticket....

  • I would like to not lose energy while waiting. :P
    +1 to giving a count or being flagged for the queue, otherwise, its like waiting for the subway that just never starts and eventually boots you out.
    I bugged this: You cant IM other players once you are in GoC. You can still type if you already had it open. But if you try to start a new one once inside (ie trying to get friends to come play), you get that little *meh* sound. Would be nice to be able to chat "locally" meaning on the street, once inside to let others know you need another player, until a fix is put in place with the queue for instances.

  • Yeah, loosing energy while waiting is a little silly, if you're going to be waiting for awhile and not be able to access your inventory.

    I like the CTF style idea.

  • Trying to get into the same instance with friends is very iffy at the moment. I wonder if they could allow one person to pay a group rate and then summon friends into their instance.

    ETA: This would also allow you to prearrange a team event.
