Event rescheduled for Sunday May 22nd @ 10pm UTC.
Hunt and Slaying location is a mystery. Bring a tent and be prepared to be whisked away!
If you're coming from Novus, best to sail and park at Haven.

Where can that dragon be? What do we need to do to actually find it? Will we die a lot? Why Haven? Who will lead us? This could be quite an adventure.

Looking to donate 2 items but can't mail them to Elfin, any chance a GM could collect them from me? I'm on Meredit most of the day.
[12:01:31] You are not allowed to drop that. >.<
Failing that, i'll ride up to Elfin's place and deliver them in person if we are online at the same time when my main internet connection gets fixed.

I'm attempting to cater to others who normally miss out on these events, myself included, with this event. Personally I'd like to see a USA overnight event, as these day events are too early for me. 10pm UTC is still just 6pm on the east coast (right after dinner time). Hope we will still have a good showing. I'm sorry we can't make everyone happy, and I hope some that don't normally get to go to an event are able to now make this one.
Fortunately Elf in her infinite wisdom has put up a poll for event timings to see what other times we can try for, so perhaps we can have a bit of good shuffling. A lot of events happen at the same time 8pm or 9pm UTC and on weekends, so the same crowd misses out time and time again. We will learn from this for future events. I thank everyone for your interest.

Regardless of the valiant efforts to please everyone, it IS a European server. Also the 5th isn't great for me.

I see it as a global server.
Personally, i think it could be a round robin sort of solution. Whatever unique spawns should offset the next slaying time by 8h to cover all time zones so that everyone gets a chance at some point. Randomness of the variety of the unique being spawned still would ensure fairness of the slayings.
Pick a time zone, on Liberty and Novus first upcoming slaying could happen ad say 22:00 in that time zone. Next unique would then happen at 6am in the same time zone and following at 14:00 and then back to 22:00 This might also make it easier for people to plan for them, knowing the slaying slots forever in advance.
While some hours are much less popular than other, chances are that there are people who can never attend the slaying for that reason but are not vocal about it (not very social, language barrier, you name it).
One issue here would be to find a host for slayings at "unpopular" times but it would give people who can never attend, a chance to participate. I think that being in a time zone which is almost always picked as my "leisure" time, i do have an advantage over players who are 4h ahead, simply because of my geographical location. Something they can't easily change to be in the same position.
And if it leads to failed slayings because of low participation, the system can be reviewed.
I do know that there are people out there who never get to attend slayings because of where they were born or where they live while i have more bloods and other unique drops than i know what to do with. I think this is a step in the right direction and if it proves problematic, it can always be revised.
I might not be able to attend this slaying but i'm glad others will, people who might have been excluded in the past.

To put it bluntly, anyone who leaves the game running and places an alt at the event site will earn the drops of blood, scale, hide, etc. They also have the exact same chance as everyone else to win the raffle.
