EM Event refers to various in-game events run by paid employees of EA called Event Moderators. The EMs were a successor to long-ago volunteer event programs, run by Seers, who were volunteers. The first EM Events were connected to an EA-run plotline involving Minax, and occurred following the release of the Age of Shadows expansion.
After the "Revenge of the Enchantress" plotline petered out, EMs stayed around, running events of their own.
EM Events were broad in scope, and have included: PvP tournaments, fishing contests, fasion shows, etc. Winners, or even mere participants, of EM Events were often awarded special items. These items ranged from decorative, to personal adornment, to extremely useful (in some cases so useful that accusations of imbalance were levied).
The EM Events were generally well-attended.
The quality of EM events is often said by players to have varied widely. Message Boards often featured complaints that EM events were held at odd times, and thus were difficult for many players to attend.
Eventually, the EM program was discontinued, after many months of inactivity.
On many Shards, the legacy of unfinished EM events, personified by things like burning docks at Jhelom and monster spawns in unusual places, remains.
Below is a sample list of such items:
