There will be a MUD-wide event this Halloween. Event starts at the noon reboot
on Sunday the 31st, and lasts until the next reboot.
I don't want to give away too much of the surprise, but the idea is to have a
little something for everyone. Features include:
-- players earn points for participating in the event in various ways. Some
ways to participate (i.e. killing a 1.3M eq boss) will be worth more than
others (nine-man party kill of a wounded chipmunk). Points can be saved up for
prizes, such as chocolate that heals you when eaten.
-- there will also be items found that can be traded. Save up enough items to
add permanent stat bonuses to your already-existing eq. Hire other players to
hunt them down for you, or sell them for cash and favors.
-- event is much kinder on newbies, much harsher on highbies, and does not
interfere with any pcity, area, or guild.
-- the event does not "end". Participation is possible in every single second
of the 24-hour uptime.
-- you get bonus points for killing yourself. Kind of. You'll figure it out.
