I think maybe a third event category would be good here - for those events which don't actually happen inside game, but are tracked/progressed outside and then the rewards are mailed ([[Twitch Drops]], [[Dreamlight Park Community Challenge]]). 'Community Events' sounds more appropriate - but I also think it sounds a bit 'unofficial' and maybe implies the events are managed by the community. -- [[User:Marblemadmax|Marblemadmax]] ([[User talk:Marblemadmax|talk]]) 23:57, 12 April 2023 (UTC) | I think maybe a third event category would be good here - for those events which don't actually happen inside game, but are tracked/progressed outside and then the rewards are mailed ([[Twitch Drops]], [[Dreamlight Park Community Challenge]]).

:I agree on both points -- that name doesn't feel quite right, but it does seem like they warrant their own type of category. I'm coming up blank on any better nomenclature atm though... perhaps something with the word "External" in it.

::I'm still not sure about 'community events' but it seems like that category includes (and will include) a variety of different types of events promoted through social media/discord/twitch etc so maybe it fits best for now. | |||
::I changed 'Limited Time Events' to 'Gameplay Events' - but I think this may need a better header as well. Limited Time events applys to all the events, so that wasn't very descriptive - maybe seasonal events would make sense for this event type? 'Gameplay' separates that these events are fully contained in the game - players don't need any external info or conditions to be rewarded (outside the dates). My only reluctance to use 'seasonal' is that it suggests the events will return every year (and we don't know for sure they will). -- [[User:Marblemadmax|Marblemadmax]] ([[User talk:Marblemadmax|talk]]) 17:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC) | |||

Having current events at the top is convenient for a quick glance, but I think it gets a bit wonky when there are active events from multiple categories? Currently only the active star path is at the top, even though there are other active events happening. We could attempt using color, but no color will necessarily be an intuitive meaning of "current"... or just move Eggstravaganza and Dreamlight Park Community Challenge up to the top, but then it isn't super obvious what type of event they are (though, perhaps from their names alone, it will be?) I don't know, thoughts?
