Title: New Event... Must read! *Update: April fools*
Post by: GM NollKoll on April 01, 2015, 05:59:22 AM
I have created a really exciting and cool new type of event system..

You wont know what type it is, but it will ofcourse be safe*

It will automaticly pop up with a global message on when it starts later on, but for now, just hang onto the "beta" style event type. I will come back to this soon.

Basicly, you will team up against each other, either in pvp, or pvm.. 2 or more teams will be created automaticly, and then they have to kill each other when it starts..OR.. kill as many waves of monsters until the timer runs out.. The team that gets the most kills, wins!

*Same death as in the pvp arenas, you will not truly die, just teleport and get full hp!

The automatic gate system is rather tricky, so i did a ducttape fix on it, it SHOULD pop up randomly and warn players in global on where it is.. It will check if the spot is taken or not, if it is taken, it will relocate to another area.. Same style as the recall spell, if the location is blocked or not.

But it currently works si-so atm.. But hang with me on this.. Made a easy ducttape fix for this, there will be a orange ferret is the location is wrong, and a warning snowmen saying where you should find the gate.. But dont worry, this is just temporary!

Hope you will all enjoy it!

This sounds very cool, thanks. :)

One question... maybe two or.. three:

- Is that once per day or is it multiple times? Is there a system?

- Will it be just a global message in world chat? Good chances to miss that.^^

Everyone that went got put on the orange team and it kept saying something about a dark red team being empty.

Is there another final destination that allows people to join red team?

We all sat there for 30+ minutes trying to figure out why the teams weren't starting.

It was..  Rather evil i must admit.. BUT..

Those who went orange also got a deco item, which is hidden.. (but i will unhide it)

thought you all should have been atleast a tiny bit suspecting with strange gate system.. one bit saying "the gate is in another castle" etc =P
