Hybrid Events
br>Special Events
Special events are a one-time or rare occurance. Quests fall into this category.
They can be pvp/pvm related like graveyard invasions or
raids on Britain and other cities.
Others are pvp/pvm-free like fashion shows, house design
contests, and poker tournaments.
Depending on the event, they can last a few hours or run
over the stretch of a few weeks.
Some encompass the entire shard, others are held in specific
areas, some take place on the forums.
Special events that require instructions are posted in
advance on the forum and/or announced in-game before the
event.
Some events will be 'spontaneous', such as city
invasions.
Not all events will have a prize awarded to the winner, and some will not have a designated winner at all.
Standard Events
Standard events are those that are held with some frequency. These events are held in arenas designed specifically for the event.
Events are consumable, or free consume.
Consumable events require you to supply your own resources -
reagents, potions, bandages, armor, weapons, and anything
else you may want to use. The resources will be used up as
they would be in normal game play.
Free consume events do not use up resources. This means that
you will need at least one of anything you want to use in the
event, but the items will not be consumed (they will not
disappear with use).
Free consume does not apply to explosion potions, arrows or
bolts. If you want to use these items (explosion potions,
arrows or bolts), you must supply all that you will want to
use.
Free consume does not apply to the wear of weapons or armor.
These items will wear with use.
All standard events are no loot.
Players are resurrected with their items in their
backpack.
The time between death and resurrection varies from event to
event.
Events are timed or last man (team) standing.
Timed events consist of server-created teams.
These events are on a timer, the winner determined by a point
system.
Last man standing events are made up of player-selected
teams.
These events are a fight to the death. The last man/team
alive are declared the winners.
Teams can be made up of one person, for a 1v1 duel or a ffa, or many players for multi-player duels.
Prizes are given (or not) according to the event
type. Every event does not give a prize.
If the event gives a prize, a reward of gold and/or a trophy
is awarded for first, second and (sometimes) third place.
The number of prizes handed out is dependent on the number of
players joining the event and their skill (rank) level.
For example, an event held with fewer players could result in
no third place prize.
Prizes are awarded automatically by the server when the event
ends. Do not page for a prize.
