I am not a L2J official developper and this is just my personnal opinion ;)

Well, first of all, if you look through the different sections you will find L2Day and the medal event. You can also use the search engine to find them faster.

There will always be fixes to be made to these events scripts when we change version of L2. As the core changes, corrections need to be made to the different scripts to keep them working.

There are also many custom scripts on these forums if you take the time to look for them. Of course, if some of them are a bit older, you will need to adapt them to the current L2J core. You have to understand that a L2J server(except if you use the nightlies and do not modify anything) is not plug-and-play. The main focus of the developpers is to get as many retail-like features available and up-to-date.

If there are specific custom things that you wish to do, there are also many tutorials on the forum that can help ou make them. Once you have made a few trials, if you are having problems, just post your script on the appropriate forum and people will be happy to help you.

If your focus is to learn how to program these kinds of events so you can eventually contribute some as well to the L2J community, then you are at the right place. :)

L2j Developers are focused to get the server stable and improve the actual working systems, most of them are old systems that need to be rewrited to get more performance, next to this as 3rd priority its to get the new functions of the upcoming releases, this takes more time since they must be investigated and gather many info to be completed.

Basically those are:
1st Priority: make a stable server
2nd Priority: improve the actual server
3rd Priority: add new features to the server

All the other things, like quests, events, addons are just complementary, they are not needed to get a working server, and most of times to get this features working they need to be updated all the time, for example: quests, if a mayor change is made on the quest engine, all those quests needs to get updated according to the new engine.

If developers focus on get other unnecesary addons like Custom Events, TvT Egines, PvP Engines, etc... working and updated with the server, it will take more time to develop new features and improve the actual server, that its why we leave the community to do this, all the people that contribute to the server forums with their code that add new featres like those mentioned above are just addons, they are great, yes, but not neccesary, if you want to have them you can add then to your server, but not all the people want them, also as i mentioned above if we add them to the source of the server it cost a lot of man resources to keep them updated, so we leave them as just addons.

Server admins are free to use them, but L2j Core developers will not focus their work on those addons since they are not part of the original game and not neccesary for the gameplay. But we dont disaprove them, we like them too, and most of us have a TvT Engine in our servers, but we cant keep them updated due our limited man power.
