They did do halloween events and such but they didn't give out as nice of rewards. Really nice of them to bring Lustrous Russet back though.

Oh, pretty much everything that was dropped was in classic as well, but IIRC the events spanned over several days, the mobs were less common, and the rewards were MUCH less common!

NO TRADE rubicite armor, NO TRADE manastones, LR, Cryosilk (including robe) as well as class-specific stuff was all awarded.

For those of us that lagged, crashed, weren't here, whatever... Would someone describe the event? All I could tell was cryosilk and lustrous russet armor dropping from some sort of werewolves...

Don't take this as being ungrateful, but the event was basically a bunch of GUILDS running around the zone killing stuff that mobs of low level players looted before anyone in their own group had a chance to give it to somebody who could use it! haha!

^^
Edit: don't take that the wrong way, please. I loved the event, just wish it lasted longer and perhaps was spread over a couple zones so I could have experienced more than 1/2 of it, including the finale.

4000+ms ping [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Basically just went linkdead and then could never log back in!

Aside from all the random people trying to grab corpses from groups, zones crashing, and 400ping...it was fun. Grats alts with LR

The event should have been spread across 2-3 zones to save the lag and bullshit.

Thanks for the event =(

the event is good....but the idea of having the event in 1 zone is not as good....

but ya...the whole event for me is lag , ld , and relogin.....

i was the first 30 people in wc....and wait...until wc player count hit like 250.... i the ping begin to jump from 300 to 3000 and begin the LD/Login loop....

but ya... i tried my best to attend the raid....

gratz to player who got prize and loot

nice job pumping about 20 sets of lustrous into the server gms, that was a great decision

More pieces got out than we had planned, yes (it was script based). However, with 350 people at the event, it's not like we fully decked out 20 people in lustrous. I'm not too worried with kunark around the corner either.

As for the lag; The event was meant to be a stress test. We wanted to see how we could do with a lot of changes recently. 350+ People in one zone is pretty nuts for an emulator (I don't think any other servers could even do over 100).

4-5+ months is hardly around the corner, but eh

its not even about the stats of the item, its the fact that is was meant to be an item that you only could have gotten back in the day, a sign of how long youve been with the server

now you just loot pinata'd it out to everyone online that has a melee char near EC

I wouldnt really care at all if it had been other planar drops or items that currently drop on the server, but lustrous and cryo robes?

oh well.

Did cryo robe actually drop tonight? I know it dropped off that huge gnoll way back when, but tonight too? Just curious.
