This remembers me the Havoc Expansion we have in EVE, it's a pvp event that lasts for about a week and spawns randomly in certain areas. The Havoc expansion is the most successful expansion in 20 years
PvE means: A handful of coins and a bag of boredom.
Since this thread has been resurrected, and to expand on the original idea of jousting/swordplay and give every archetype an event:
Fighter - Fencing.
Rogue - Treasure Hunt - speed of completion or value in a time limit. With traps!
Ranger - Archery competition - stationary and mobile!
Bard - Song/Poetry competition. It was in the Olympics yanno.
Summoner - 2 Summoned creatures battle it out.
Mage - 1 vs 1 Elemental battle, no mana regen.
Tank - Survival time vs group of NPCs?
Cleric - 1 vs 1 no mana regen.
Also stuff for professions - Woodchopping, cakebaking, biggest pumpkin, Tulnar Dunking etc etc
You get the gist - something for everyone. And I'm sure the above can be improved on.
The girl watched the last of the creatures die and murmured a soft 'Thank you' to her rescuer.
The stranger's eyes lifted to the blood red cloud on the horizon.
This fair could generate so many ideas that it enlarge the game's scope significantly. Everyone loves the concept and would contribute with loads of ideas, even the devswould undoubtedly dive into this
For the time being, a gypsy caravan with specialized NPC vendors would suffice
