Ok guys/gals , I pulled A LOT of strings to make this happen. So this is what we are going to do. We will do a massive PvP event in a zone that will be determined at the time of the event. The size of the event will depend on how many people show up. If 60 people show its going to be 30v30. Due to the amount of high level toons on Red99, this event will be level 56+. If there is enough interest for a lower level 30's event, I will do that at a later date, you have my word. Nilbog is going to add some code to the server to enable Sirken to despawn a zone for "X" amount of time. This will enable people that is KoS to not have faction issues with NPC's.

Now on to the details of the event. Based on the amount of people that want a objective type event, your cry has been heard and that is what we are going to do. It will be like this ...

You guys ever played Search and Destroy? Its going to be something like that

There will be 3 rounds total (if needed)

Teams will be randomly selected or we might have people bring thier own team. If we go with a random, this will take more time. But its totally up to the players. I will do what YOU guys want. It will be just like I done the 2v2 Arena event. Everyone will have a number and I will start ran-doming. If your number comes up you will go to either Team 1 or Team 2 till all the players are on a team.

Once the teams are set the Captains (which will be selected by the members of each team) will pick a number between "x" and "x". The winner will choose which side/role they want to start with. (Like a coin toss in a NFL football game).

Once we start I will have my GM Flag removed and Team 1 will try to protect me while Team 2 tries to kill me. There will be a time limit per round. I am not sure on what kind of time limit I should put yet because I do want to be kill able to avoid rounds going on for a super long time. Once round 1 is over the teams will switch sides and roles. Team 1 will try and kill me while team 2 protects me. Then if needed we will go to round 3 if each team has 1 win each.

There will be THREE items handed out. Nice items, not junk.

First Place: Guise of the Deceiver

Second Place: Sirken will summon a NO DROP item that the player/class can use.

Third Place: Same as 2nd place, but a lesser item.

Winners of the team that won will be assigned a number, and I will random to see who the winner will be for each item. Once you win an item your out. I will do it in order, first place, second place, and third place. If you would rather have the item on another toon instead of the toon you brought to the event, that is fine as well. I think that is the best way to do it. If you have something you think is better, let me know and I will consider it if I think it will work better in this event.

I would like suggestions on the team selection and time limit per round. Do you guys want random teams or do you want to bring your own? If I done random (like I did the 2v2 Arena event) I think it will take a lot of time just to get the teams set with so many players. Like I mentioned previously, I will do it if that is what YOU guys want. We also need to address the time limit per round. What do you guys think?

Also for the day/time of the event. Once we get everything set in stone, I will make a post with full event details with a poll.

Weekday Afternoon
Weekday Evening
Weekend Afternoon
Weekend Evening

I will then leave it up for a few days to allow everyone to vote. I will also watch for troll accounts, so if you plan to do stuff like that. Do not try it please. Keep in mind this is to improve the health of Red99

Lastly I am here for Red99. My #1 goal is Red99! I want this server to GROW, and I need YOUR HELP to do it. So help ME help YOU. This is a team effort here.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Pras the humble saint Cylock.

Please make this announcement as main post in a new thread stickied and not stickied so people actually see it.

[Servant]

Nice to see someone taking an active hand in promoting server health.

Hope I'm around when the event happens!

A couple ideas for future events:

<Scavenger Hunt>

- 56+ to join

- 3 different zones, 3 groups of 3 experienced pvpers patrolling each of the zones to try and stop the scavengers from getting their item.

- All other participants divided as evenly as possible into balanced teams (including healer+tank) of at least 4.

Come up with 2 common, random-drop trash loots from each zone that each participating scavenger group needs to find, but make them different for each group, and tell them what their next items are only when they deliver their current assignment to you.

Prizes (perhaps simply a stack o' platinum) awarded to the kill team which gets the most YTs, and to the scavenger team which completes its assignments from all 3 zones first.

<Epic Miniboss>
- Enable item loot on PVP (can this be done on a per-zone basis? If not, just warn the server awhile in advance that item loot will be temporarily enabled)
- Pick a small newbie zone, like west freeport perhaps.
- give a nice breastplate to a decaying skel, perhaps an iksar bp or the like.
- participants create level 1 characters that can use whatever the BP is.
- participants kill skels (and each other) until one of them finds the breastplate, becoming "the miniboss"
- The miniboss puts the BP into a trade window with Cylock, who then provides the miniprize for being the first to find the BP - perhaps a fine steel weapon or the like.
- The miniboss's identity is announced in /shout. All the other newbs gang up and try and kill the miniboss and loot the BP.
- Everyone fights for a predetermined amount of time, maybe 15 minutes or so.
- Whoever has the BP when the time expires is the winner, and is given a title and gets to keep the BP.

This is still a thing friends.

As I stated previously I am just waiting for the next patch, so the code I had Nilbog add is in the game.

If you need ideas we at DoF have a plethora of games and events on deck.

Is this something you guys still want?

I believe the code was added last patch, I will have to double check with Nilbog to make sure. If you guys do not like this, I am open to other realistic ideas for events.

[shokar]

summon the entire server to sebilis and spawn a fungus king. It will entertain us for hours.

Just no?

No better ideas?

[Beastagoog]

Disable all raid targets for 1 week, disable ToV so no one can farm armor molds. Disable everything to do with velious.

Disable all VP mobs.

Make the respawn point the entrance with gear on.

Disable PvP in the zone.

Give everyone 30-60mins to prep then enable PvP.

Disable exits.

Then enable only the Dragons with 250k hp each and force them to drop rare gm items.

Let the games begin!
