That:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=89440&p=1442099&hilit=lavim#p1442099By that I mean, not these examples, but small scale almost personal events that leave a mark on the character. I don't recall a single large scale event that impacted my characters positively or negatively on any of the server I've ever played on (which is sad, because these require time and effort from the DMs doing them... but they're just not as appealing and meaningful to me).
So, ideas for events? Go read some random people's backgrounds and try to find NPCs in them. Then, bring said NPC to life on the server (or maybe it's a dead character that only X can see!), involve 3-4 players at best, and confront said NPC to the one person whose background you took that NPC from.
