Half Centuries
Currently, the Century event occurs only about every year and a half irl. It's complex, the wikis don't explain it well, and it's high-pressure due to being so rare.
I propose that Half Century events be added every year ending in 50. The event would be half as long, even if that means it doesn't cover the full year (year 500 seemed to start early and may end late, so even just dropping to only the actual year, or could run from Late Spring through Autumn or something).
Buffs would also be halved, so instead of 50% skill and dungeons and 50 mf and tracking for example, there would be 25 of all those things.
For raffles, maybe having half the drop chance for each reward or something. Or keep the rewards the same and make tickets twice as hard to get.
The main idea would be to have a "half" theme as well as providing more access to Century gameplay without just doubling Century time, which would be too OP. My hope is that adding "Half Century" events would make Century less obscure, less high-pressure, and would allow the community and wiki pages to learn more and become more accurate and less confusing.
I've heard several players ask what a cake soul even is, for example. So clearly I'm not the only one confused. Let's make Century more accessible and less boggling.
