This year the monsters of Sklotopolis have been extra naughty, Santa won't even be giving them coal! For years they have been watching as he drops off his presents to all the good heroes and the pile just keeps getting bigger. They have grown so jealous that this year they have come up with an evil plan. While cleaning out the cobwebs that have accumulated over the time she has been away Kharlotta felt something brush up against her leg on a particularly windy day, She looked down to find it was a piece of paper. As she read the contents she realized it was an invasion plan for the monsters to steal Christmas from the heroes of Sklotopolis! Most of the writing had been washed away so there is no telling when or where it will begin, but Kharlotta could make out enough to know they will strike the south eastern settlement of Cedar Hills Ranch soon! Now is the time for the heroes to band together and stop them before all the gifts are gone!
When - Thursday December 22nd at 3am UTC
There will be monsters in the fight arena for some monster bashing holiday fun, defend the presents and Christmas tree to thwart their plans and save Christmas for the heroes of Sklotopolis! This is a monster killing event so don't forget to bring your tent, there is no telling what kind of creatures we may have to fight to save the day. Since we do not know what we will have to face please no carts or wagons in the arena, if you wish to fight mounted please bring something you can ride. Everyone is invited to join in regardless of fight skill and I will provide some cotton for bandaging. At the end there will be a participation gift for everyone, also please feel free to take what corpses you like to line your streets with trophies of your defeated foes! Hope to see you all there with your armor polished and weapons sharpened to save Christmas and show Santa how awesome we really are!

/me grabs some popcorn, knowing the polo team will make nice fertilizer when they hit the pit traps and fall into the mulchers.

This was a pleasant event.
I was concerned by the mob count for ~8 players as well as having just been beaten the hell up by caza mobs but other than the divine mobs and nogumps, the perceived threat wasn't a problem. The participation reward felt definitely worth the time. Once it slowed down, a few of us split off to higher personal priorities such as securing trophy corpses, butchering mobs or focusing on valrei butchers for the valrei items. I got a solid silver coin for bury rewards and aa bunch were there with me. We also fully collected the corpse goods except for prolly some loose goblin skulls or nogump stuff, perks of FSB/BSB wagon, lol.
Permissions for the event were pretty smooth, no pickup/butcher hiccups, heard no food drink issues for y'all mouth eaters. I did try to dominate a mob and permission denied but not a big deal, something for me to be mindful of for my own events. The event start was questionable, I started peeking in and throwing meat at the mobs inside and everyone was aall GETTEM! and dove past me.
I'd strongly recommend prepping guest horses for combat oriented events if possible. I ran 2k tiles and that netted me a battle cow and someone else a grey horse. The other greys spotted were permission locked by liberty's landclaim deeds. Anyone taking eventteleport was stuck on foot.
Parking and/or recommended parking should be established in advance. A few of us had to guess the desired spot and I later rode my battle cow all the way to the corner of the deed where recommended parking was wishing I just slapped it next to the event cage like Talohan did.
Thinking aabout it on my way home, it would prolly be a good idea to provide wax to preserve desired corpses. I'll prolly do this for mine in the future.
Staff performance for summoning was good, there was a pretty constant flow of mobs and weird crap attacking us. No spirit drakes unfortunately so obligatory thumbs down from the cynosure of the drakespirit estates. lol, there was some elixers on some bodies gm placed but I didn't hear anyone talk about them which makes me wonder if I got them all. A mid combat raffle would probably be a more secure and stable way to shell out some mob attachments. I'd prolly recommend throwing a raffle dice on specified waves or boss mob of waves to give the perception of acquiring them from a mob. Would be a lot more fair for people that aren't specialized in looting.
Information on eventteleport should be clearly and explicitly posted on the main forum post. "Event begins in 2 seconds" ... "Event teleport now active" makes it sound like you can teleport as soon as it's go time leaving you scrambled and rushed to collect your bearings. I usually show up via wagon but I see victims of this at every event, lol.
Was an enjoyable event and I think that concludes my after action review.

Thanks to everyone who came! Sorry for the rocky start, this was the first event I've hosted in a long time and forgot a few things. I will try to remember them for any future events I host. I sure had a lot of fun and hope you all did too and that you enjoy your snowmen!  |
