I'll answer this roughly as what it is. I think. At least, this is what
I use it for. The common events are for events that you use over and over agian, making it so you don't have to retype the same thing over and over again. You make a common event on the database, and insert a common event into an event by using the  call event command.

In Rm2k3 Common events can also be called in Battle,
But its sometimes buggy...

Consult the Phylomortis' "Behavior of Common Events called in Battle" before doing so first though...

A Common event is basically an event that can be applied (called) at any part of the game, regardless of the map you're currently on.

Day/Night cycles, CMS and CBS all require common events.

^ Game maniac is right. Common events are events unbounded by maps. They're useful for custom systems that you want available throughout the entire game or throughout long stretches of area (like a dungeon or city).
