I am suggesting having math and programming contest events (not in-game).

A sample math question:
Suppose the drop rate for a rare item is 1/X from a monster. You kill X monsters. As X tends to infinity, what is the chance you will get at least one drop?

A sample programming question:
For a voyage in a player-owned-port, you can bring CM_0 crew members and 1 captain. You are given a list of CM crew members and CA captains to choose from. Each person has a morale score M, a seafaring score S, and a combat score C. The success of the voyage is determined by the minimum of the sum of all scores for the stats required for the voyage. If the voyage requires all 3, then it is min(sum of all M, sum of all S, sum of all C). Write a program that finds which voyagers to go. If there is a tie, print any optimal solution. There are t test cases, one for each voyage.
