Unique items with limited charges may be used, but the effects may not. (i.e. Soulfire, Ivandyr's Hoop, ect...) However generic items such as potions are allowed.
You will be summoned into the Arena at a certain spot. Do not move from this spot until the event begins.
There will be no buffing or summoning period prior to starting, you may buff and summon pets after the event begins.
The entire arena inside of the walls will be used, if the action begins to become stale the playing area may be limited to the raised portion of the arena.
The event will be fought to the last person, however, the last 3 survivors will receive a prize of 70%, 20%, and 10% of the collected entrance fees.

Thanks to all those that participated, and congratulations to Minikin, Beauregard, and Warm on placing in the top 3.

I would like to get some feedback from those that participated, and also that did not. For those that did, what did you like about the event, what could have gone better? For those that did not, what kept you from participating, or what could have convinced you to?

Some things I noticed on my end. Things were.... chaotic. Unfortunately the door is not present on The Arena so I decided to let spectators come in and combatants return to watch the battle after dieing. This may have caused some confusion to those still participating, but I decided it would be better to invite them, than have the try to break in to the event. I'm not sure I will run it again unless I can get a better system set up, or the door is fixed.

Thanks for the event! I had a blast and can't wait for the next one, hopefully with a few more folks fighting.

My only complaint :
When we were all huddled to the platform, players who had already lost the match were allowed on the platform with the remaining combatants. Which resulted in a couple monks attacking my pet and drawing agro on it while I was attempting to down Minikin.

There were only Two Monks that were there, Azerel and Mank (me). While I cannot speak for Azerel, I personally did not attack your pet whatsoever.

As for the royal rumble event..

I enjoyed it, but the mechanics of the game gave huge advantages to casters and left melee in the dust. My only complaint.

Probably will not be attending another Royal Rumble, however, I would consider teams, 3v3 or 5v5.

My apologies in that case. Another player indicated to me afterward that both monks had engaged the pet. I did however see Az attack and other players called him out on it as it happened.

I never played on any of the EQ PvP servers but I think Pallys/Sks have an advantage over the rest of us.

Team events are doable, this first event was just to gage how much of a turnout I would have and get an idea of how hard it would be to run for me. Would definitely have to have better turn out for the team version though.

Had we had more time for planning to be free, I think more people would have participated ;-)

Great idea though, thanks for putting things on like this!
