Seasonal NPC abductions

I was wondering if this is something DMs can do any time they wanted (kidnap Cupid) as an easy to do server event that could last a few hours ?

So I've had some more time to think about this, going with the player character as the kidnapper.
The kidnapper will be designated as such at short notice, no relogging to a different character. You'll be ported to Fer Territory, an announcement (either by yourself or DM) will start the event. You will be restricted to townside full PvP areas only. So Epic lands, Isle of Storms, Isle of Death etc are off limits, as are no-pvp areas. Move into an off-limits area and you'll be ported back to Fer Territory.
The rest of the player characters have one hour to hunt the kidnapper down and kill them. If the kidnapper survives past one hour, they get a decent XP boost and/or reward item gems and the seasonal NPC is gone until reset.

The longer the kidnapper survives, the more reward gems they will earn. Probably 1 for every 10 minutes but i'll decide at the time.

The other players can relog whichever character they like, as long as a relogged character is the same level or less than the kidnapper. If you were on as a higher level when the event starts, you can can stay on as that character.
If the player playing the kidnapper has to log before time is up, let the DM know and a new kidnapper will be designated. Just logging out will result in the seasonal NPCs gone until reset.

The character who kills the kidnapper will receive reward gems (XP and/or items).

No drones/clones allowed for PvP, whether from a widget, rod or uber potion. Pop a drone, your character will lose 3 levels. No Area Transition (AT) spamming. Spamming the AT (clicking on the AT numerous times to avoid fighting) will cost you levels.

I'll start this from Sunday if the majority are on board with it.

'But I don't like PvP'. That's ok, we're really just playing Hide and Seek. With the above rules.


EDIT: Since it's a kidnapping, there's a ransom that can be paid anytime, even after the kidnapper escapes. The ransom is subject to change between events. For the first event I run it is 60 million gold. This can be payable by one character or as a collection from the whole server, doesn't matter so long as it's paid in full. Upon receipt of the ransom, the seasonal NPC(s) will be returned and the kidnapper will get a percentage of the ransom, in this case 5% 3 million gold. The rest will go to the DM welfare fund.
