Sheesh

It was a tough battle. Gratz to the HIM the winners of this event.

Whitelist is for ppl that have done nothing wrong and no one on their IP has done anything wrong. You do not fall into that category, as there were people on your IP that got you banned. Therefore, you need to wait until someone resolves this matter, and remember:

The game is going for 24 hours a day/7 days a week. However the one that banned you, if that is what occured is possibly not on at this moment. Finding chat logs and seeing who banned you takes time, much like misbehaving and wasting the time of moderators in the first place. I strongly urge you to use this time away by reading all the rules set forth in this forum starting with the ones above. And yes, that tone does not make anyone want to respond to your wishes any faster.

Here is an event to include many people. It is a TEAM event. In order to be in a team, you do not need to be in the same guild, or even in a guild. But you MUST be in the team to compete. We will run this thread for any and all teams to post, but the deadline to post is Oct. 27th at 9pm EST. You are to post your team members in order of who is competing first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. You are to also post 2 alternatives in case some member does not come on-line at the time of the event. Basically this event will play out like this: Jayden is making a potion to be used to stop the invasion creatures from rising and attacking all. She sent out 5 followers to get the ingredients, but they have not returned. You need to find these followers and bring the ingredients back to Jayden so the potion can be made. You will be told ahead of time who you will be looking for. However the place will be in riddle format. When the first person on your team finds that NPC (our event staff) they are to speak to them in their location. They will be given a riddle of the item needed for the potion. That player must tell the NPC in PM what the riddle means to get that item. If they are wrong, or do not know, an easier riddle will be given as a BRIBE for the answer. If you are given a Bribe riddle, it is your (and team members) responsibility to figure it out and bring the NPC that bribe item to find out what that first riddle means. Then you will be given the item for the potion and a riddle of where to find the second NPC. The second member of your team must then do the same of either figuring out what the riddle means or to figure out the bribe riddle once you FIND the next NPC. This will continue until all 5 members of the team have the ingredients needed. If you happen to drop the item, you must replace said item, as it is your responsibility after it is given to you. Feel free to talk amongst your team mates to complete the tasks at hand. Now comes in the tricky part. These places may be either in Seridia, Irilion, or both. So get ready to explore and find all that lurks. And since Mortos is not happy, you will have invasions in between your destinations--as he wants to stop this potion from being made. The first TEAM to give all the items to Jayden wins a NMT cloak, each. But the team must have all the right ingredients to win. Good Luck. Time of event is 3pm EST on Saturday, Oct 28th.

May be wise to go naked, up to you. As in any invasion, taking bags is allowed. Also, note, that you can go to any storage you want during the event, provided its free of invasions

Your welcome, and on a side note, not a body guard, but pallbearers.

Not picking up your bones is not a problem. Problems lie when people try to do bag 'art' and place various bags out in addition to other bags from monster drops. There is only a maximum number of bags in which each map can hold at a time, and extra bags being spammed causes major lag issues when they disappear and can cause people's bags they are working on to disappear as well.

Specific rules of event: 1. You are responsible for the ingredients given to you. If you lose it, go get another from storage or harvest the ingredient. Its the knowledge that you have gained from your quest riddle that is important. 2. You can converse with anyone you want other than the event team to discover the answer to the riddles, however, riddles for ingredients only can be answered once. If you are wrong in the answer, you must take the bribe. No second guessing the riddles. Ingredients will be provided to you. Bribes you must provide to the NPC. 3. All recipes will be different per contestant, so just because someone may state in channel the answer is one thing, it may not hold true to your riddle. We did this as there is a no secrets in channel rule, but people always state things anyway--not like you can undo a fart 4. All contestants and alternates must join together to give ingredients to Jayden and get the prizes. 5. Player listed as number 1 must get the first NPC question, number 2 must get the second, and so on. Not the same person is to interact with more than one NPC. We will keep track and wont answer the same person. For example: Pepperspray, Sin, and Zanadu will only meet with the first NPC. The second NPC will meet only with PoeTayToe, Asgnny, and Jason. 6. You can stay together or split up. This is up to you, however, you wont be able to get the next location until after the previous riddles have been answered. 7. The invasions are a free for all. Total maps are likely to be covered with invasions, so expect this. Not just your team has to kill, but anyone can kill these monsters. Each map will be cleared of monsters after the last contestant leaves the map with the ingredient in hand. 8. Expect to die, at least once. The prize is big, so the sacrifice equals the reward. 9. Have fun.

Provided all 7 are online and willing to help the team, 7 get the cloaks.

Must have at least 3 teams to compete. Please sign up.

Or pop up tabs. Half the people, I doubt know how to interact with an NPC. This is why I suggested a second NPC off of IP in which the first NPC tells them about the second one. IP is already overcrowded, so having many more players on IP will be hard to control with lag issues on one small map. DP is a much larger map and would work great with a NPC. Those that have just worked with a NPC on IP would know how to work a second NPC--they cannot forget that easily, can they?

Interesting idea. I would like to make a spin on this. Have the Tutorial NPC send them to a second NPC in like Desert Pines--as most of the stuff they may need is in that map and it is still safe, even during autoinvasions. Guild members or those that want to help the newbs along, give them supplies for the jobs. The NPC sells the tough to get books from Naralik and PL (pre-reqs, mining ore to mining silver, mining all crystals but not any of the gems). The NPC teaches about the Nexus as to what they need. Even if guild members are not in the area, they would still be able to get these books, provided they are working toward their goals. Perhaps have a lvl in a skill (harvest, alch, pot) shown to trigger them as true scholars and not a easy way to get books. Books can even cost a bit more here, as the risk getting them is less. Perhaps even have an opportunity to sell the items to the NPC for discounted book rates--NPC says make 150 FEs and sell them to me and get silver mining for 1500 instead of 2500. Regardless, they will see that they have to work to get the goods. As for scammers, new scammers are found quickly and this would give guilds a chance to see their behavior before they enter guilds. Just a though.

Why of course, why we are doing the contest in game so we can all hear them as we get drunk in a tavern.

You have the right to edit all you want before the deadline.

Logged on for the event to tell the stories. If you cannot log in at the time, submit the stories to me via forum PM and we will judge accordingly.

Worked for me Sprint USA But I can just picture me standing in an aligator infested swamp and I get the notification. The message alone, would probably set the aligators off and make me their next meal. May be good for some, but I do have a life away from EL as well.

We are well aware of the ghosts of C2 and are working on those bugs hauntings.

Warlock cloak is also known as cloak of the Mage or cloak of magic protection. It has a -8 magic protection.

May toss in a few green skinned ones as well.

I think this would be a good crafting job, of course the manu ppl would have to make stoppers out of branches. This way there would be a low end manu thing to do like thread is for the crafters--just go harvest branches and whittle down the branches for "corks" used in the vials. Dont want to spill all that contents in your bags, do you?

Any undead creatures are a great possibility

Sounds to me like the spider dropped a bag on a death bag in which he picked up. Did not sound like a purposeful event. Okay, so spiders dont drop leather gloves, but up until recently, snakes did not drop rare books, fluffies did not know what NMT cloaks were, and several other creatures did not drop the loads of stuff they drop now. I am not taking sides, I dont know any of the people involved, but I do know stranger things have happened and this is beyond something to ruin one's reputation over, whether it be BruceMorrow's or your own. Needless to say, mistakes happen. If you can't kiss and make-up over this, then at least realize this is just a game.

finally did it.
