Midsummer on Xanadu

Recommended Posts

Just on the edge of each starter town an old wizened oak tree will appear, what secrets does it hold? You'll have to explore yourself...

This weekend we'll be celebrating Midsummer with a special event on Xanadu! 

The event will start at each starter town and lead to a central location

 

Those who survive the event will receive a special unique event only prize! 

 

As this is a unique prize, we'll also have it open to Epic players, simply come through the epic portal, complete the murderhouse event, and receive the prize, then you can log a support ticket for it to be moved to your character on epic

 

You will not need:

A horse

A boat

Combat capabilities

Sanity

 

You will need

Food

Water

A sense of humour

Expected length is about a month, so there's plenty of time to participate (and you know, solve)

Will there be special prizes for first survivors and if so how many or for how long will they be available?

The last time last seen my sanity and sense of humour were both lost in the clouds of mountain top maze. Who knows I might run into them this weekend :D

Sanity or player Kasumi  ?   ;)

 

Lol, I made it out at least, got a shiny shovel too, but think my sanity is somewhere in the area with the demon statue, things went drastically downhill around there :P

So you're saying I won't need combat capabilities but I might not survive...

 

Tricky enough, count me in.

If you want to attend you will! They are seperate, just similar premise of allowing attendance from every starter town, which is also why Xanadu was picked

 

There's a HUGE amount of work behind these, and they are exercises in patience, logic (or lack thereof) and also testing out various mechanics for future things, I plan on more coming and being more server specific, but the aim for this one is to have a special midsummers event item without just handing it out freely, gotta work for things!

@Retrograde I understand that the event is running for a month but how long do you estimate the actual time spent at the event will be? Can it be interrupted and resumed at a later time?

 

Gotta plan those crops you know :ph34r:

Depends how good you are at juggling

 

[shouldn't be too long, only half of my testers didnt return, the other half said the experience was pleasant, then proceeded to curl up into a ball]

Are you saying we'll be lab hamsters?

 

Hold on, is this the part where the world ends and a race of overlords descends from the skies to rule us as their slaves after previously brainwashing you and mind controlling so that you would lure us into the slave pit?!
