That gives some permanence to the effort you put into it, besides the ranking rewards, and everyone can walk away feeling like they accomplished something, not just the people who "win" on the rankings.
You could even have enticements, such as slightly better EXP or drop rates, increased drop rates of epic, unique, and legendary items, maybe account bound utility items (protection scrolls, unique potential scrolls, etc), and event server exclusive equips (mostly just for fun, but I can see rewarding people with good equips for working really hard), which drop varying rarities or you'd have to work to get. These could go with you when you transfer, while other things, like mesos, meso bought cubes, and such could be wiped. In order to prevent people from complaining about using these items because they didn't know they'd transfer, you could have them drop in boxes that can only be opened once the event server time is over (much like Hot Time boxes, where you had to wait 30 minutes to open them).
