Something has gotten into the animals wandering the outworld of BatMUD. They
are turning into vicious beasts, sometimes gaining unusual magical powers. It
will not be long before the entire land turns into an impossible killing
field, that no player nor NPC could survive. Something must be done.
The Redfang event, one-day only, replace an increasing number of outworld
animals with beasts that must be defeated or destroyed. Players earn points by
slaying monstes of a high-enough comparative level (so, lvl 100
triple-rebirthers won't get any points for stomping on squirrels). Lower-level
players can also get points by reversing the effect of the Redfang curse, by
using a special staff provided by an NPC in the Arelium church.
There is also the matter of the altar just south of Arelium. Groups of
high-level players who track down and destroy the toughest of these monsters
can activate the altar and summon a very powerful eq monster, one that may
require multiple parties to defeat.
Finally, anyone who died due to an outworld animal in the last couple of weeks
will find their zombie has risen and is stalking the lands. Tracking them down
and killing them is part of the game as well.
