Your post + timer both said two hours from now. " Time: 12pm Saturday EST (6pm Central EU)-(3am Sunday AEST) " is in two hours.

Quite a few people got thrown into the water, I am told there's help underway we won't be able to make it at the announced time. We'll start the fight one hour later than the original time. New timer:

28 minutes to the fight. Signups are now closed.

I'm going to extend the signup deadline until 30 minutes before the fight (so 25 more minutes).

Map:

Named it specifically "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" based on the U2 song (which I know is named from the incident). I am sorry if that's offensive.

For those concerned with being able to finish the Xanadu treasure hunt before these fights: Vali said he's planning to keep that area open for at least a month to allow people to finish it.

Yes

Copied from the weekly news:

Sign me up!

That seems extreme, but making hide/scale from dragons a fixed amount per person (regardless of how many people are in local) would go a long way towards curbing private fights.

It would completely ruin the public fights that are community events that regularly attract 100+ people each time. Big -1.

I too like to go mountain climbing in the buff. +1 for sure.

Small correction: 5pm EST is 11pm in Central EU.

I will be there, thanks for the invitation!

I'll be there!

I'm having some computer issues, but I hope to be there!

The new newbie gear is a 50ql longsword, 30ql wooden shield and 30ql leather armor. None of it can be improved and it stays in inventory after death. I did a quick test with a new char and it makes combat a lot more viable for new chars since they can now kill rats, sheep, bulls, wolves etc.

Today's patch changed the equipment that new players get. It is now: 50ql longsword 30ql wooden shield 30ql leather armor None of it can be improved and all of it stays on the corpse after death. This is definitely a great change! I did a quick test with a new char: Aged spider: got it down to 5% health before dying Aged rooster: killed it without taking any damage (0.11fs gain!) Adolescent bison: got it down to 60% health before dying Young wild boar: got my butt kicked Mature/Aged sheep: very easy, 0.10fs each Young bull: quite easy, took 15% damage, 0.16fs gain Venerable brown bear: got it to 50% health before dying Aged cave bug: pretty tough fight, 0.21fs This definitely makes it possible for new players to have fun fighting.

Thanks a lot for the fun!
