Dark elves spotted! (Updated Nov 29 08)

It has appeared that dark elves may be plotting something again this year. Last year it was reported they were behind the making of the evil giant snow man, which delayed and nearly crushed the annual Christmas gift delivery. Elves slaughtered, toys broken, factories raided. It was terrible.

"I really can't see it happening, they may be remains from the ones we killed last year, they decided to come out of their holes. Also the spot they have been seen at has been newly discovered and open to public, it is a very demonic and evil place by nature. For all we know they could have been there all this time. Either way we should still kill them to be safe." – Anonymous adventurer.

As we search for more clues, more information will be revealed.

UPDATE!

It has been confirmed that the dark elves are in fact back! It will be one brutal battle!

That room is pretty much just a prelude to the real thing so don't be discouraged if you find the room too small. Red's going somewhere with the storyline.

This just in:

Dark elves have been spotted entering luna! No one knows the origin of these gates as they are 1 way only!

Prepare for a big battle! This may get ugly!

Dark Elves attack Britain's Moongate!

It appears the dark elves are starting to open gates to Britain, Felucca. Their intentions are unknown, but this seems to indicate they have the power to open gates to anywhere and drop in an assassination attack. They are very dangerous and must be killed. They tend to come in packs of 5 and even 10 per moongate! Sometimes more will even drop in from the same gate after.

More information and pictures to be added as more information is uncovered.


Image


Update:

The battle grows stronger as more come in. They seem to come in bursts and can be extremly dangerous. We have no data as of yet on how bad Santa's Village will become if they manage to get in. The doors open on December 1st and some are very afraid of what may take place.

Image

Help has been dispatched but people are asked to continue being prepaired at all times due to the randomness of their attacks.

Image

Image

Image


For now they seem to be gone but we will update you as we find more on this attack or if more incidents occur.

More attacks on Britain!

It appears they have attacked the britain bridge, but they are actively being taken care of. We urge everyone who can to help before it goes out of control!

Image

At this point the status looks fairly stable and the situation is being taken care of.



UPDATE:

There have now been reports of them attacking Britain bank. While they have slowed down and it looks like it's the last of them, it's hard to tell at this point. We recommend all citizens to keep an eye out, they could be anywhere. Their stealthy nature makes them very unpredictable.

This was another great live reporting by The Sosarian Standard!

Ok so quick thing ....

Not losing inventory, fame, etc upon death during the event ...... FUCKING AWESOME! I swear that's one of the best ideas ever ... my wife (who didn't like doing events for some of those reasons) is having a blast.

Santa's workshop ... wow!

Thanks!

Well, an event should be fun and you should get something out of it, whether it be a fun time hanging out with players or getting some kind of reward. If you're dying all the time and losing insurance and resources, it gets a little discouraging.

Also experiment with piles of coal + fire spells, explosion pots, land mines etc...

They can all interact with each other. Can be really fun if you spread coal on a very large surface area and if done properly can rack up quite a lot of kill.

That's actually why we've been collecting it. We used it to take down a trogg and ice demon supremes ... plus the added effect of it burning =P

I was thinking for champ spawns coal would be quite nice to have...

lol ya. I think the funniest thing I ever experienced was during a fight with a dragon in a dungeon. It casted earthquake and caused one of the trapped treasure chests to spring, causing an explosion and sending a few hats flying on the ground.

coal is useful, the only deterant is the fact it weight the same as normal ores. And while it makes sense to have ore weigh a lot, its smelted into ingots which weight much less.

However, someone using coal most likely carries other important things in their packs (potions, extra weps, bandages, etc). Having it weight a lot makes me not even want to touch it because it takes up so much inventory.

Yeah to haul tons of coal best bet is a beetle or pack horses. That comes with a risk though.

No plans to but they fall quite a lot off the dark elves.

There will also be gift boxes at every house on Christmas day, or when the boss dies. (not 100% sure yet) I'll most likely run the boss on Friday.
