Cursed Pirates on their way to bucaneer's den!

Death · Post by **Death** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:27 pm

We've spotted a large group of ships on the waters near nujel'm. They're on their way to bucaneer's den. There are tons of pirates aboard these ships, but not just any kind of pirates, CURSED ones! We tried to stop them but they destroyed our ships. They plan to take over Bucaneer's Den in felucca. You must help us stop them! Although it's too dangerous to fight them from the waters due to those large cannons, you can help us keep them from controlling bucaneer's den. We expect their boats will arrive at the docks at 9PM eastern time on Friday, August 17, 2007.

-Bring your insurance as you can (And will) lose it in this event!

-Don't bring anything nice that would suck to lose, it's free for the snatching. These ARE pirates we're talking about!

-This is also a pvp event so you can be killed by other players. No guards can save you in this battle. Will you choose to kill the pirates or will you turn on that guy who just looted something shiny?

-Pets are most welcome. Just make sure they are bonded. We are not responsible for items lost due to lack of insuring or pets that are not bonded.

-Prizes can be found on corpses. If you find a prize, it would be most wise to bank it or insure it from sticky fingers! If you die, you could get it looted from pirates or worse, players.

-There will be resgates around to prevent reskilling but it's your responsibility to stock up on insurance funds!

-Those who participate in this event will receive rewards for participating. Participation rewards will be handed out in a secure area to prevent looting. Bring your friends along and have a good time. As said before, check the corpses of those you kill (You might find something nice).

The time varries. Likely around a half hour to 45 minutes depending on overall player interest. The more players who participate, the longer the event will last. We also tend to host more events after our first if players are still interested.

bucaneer's den is huge so if there's a hotspot for pk's, try moving over to a less populated area, people might not notice.

For anyone not in the same time zone, the event will take place in about 3 hrs and 17 minutes from the time of this post.

Hope to see everyone there, and be sure to insure those goods and bond those pets!

We might do some pvp tourneys too after. Maybe a mob race, those are always fun.

Need to give out some more runic bows and such.

lol sorry about that everyone. Admin mistyped a line while making the bosses. The event will resume when the server comes back up. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

You should stop giving runics away, ruins the economy and no one wants to do bods and such because of that.

The runics that I give are not yet obtainable so its just a way to get them in the game earlier. I normally don't give event prizes that are unobtainable though, but I made an exeption with runics. (the saws and bow fletching kits). Soon they should be obtainable, just have to code the system to get them.

Yeah, I just think its an unfair advantage over other people, seeing as people that cant participate such events, or the ones that dont win, have no chance of getting it unless by trade;
