Posted July 27, 2023 Ok, I hope everyone is ready for this years summary of events! As usual well start with thanks for all the admins and Staffers who showed up to help us out with various things. Admins were Myself, Goldfinch Battygirlsback, Zachariah, Smackeddown, Promirdia, Explora, Ladygodiva, Kindashae, and this year we also welcome Atheline to the team. As usual Evening provided the bulk of the chow with a large amount of 99q Pizza's. Reddragons bar got some upgrades this year and as usual his role playing fits right in with these kind of events. He provided much booze and some excellent food choices as well! Reddragon also wants to remind you to "Drink responsibly. Don't want to spill your drink." Now onto the GM's. Sadly we seemed to have much less GM activity this year and I'm not 100% sure why. I'm assuming its mainly based on all the staff loss's over the recent months. Witch is very sad But regardless I wanted to throw out a huge thanks to Pomona, Vayu, Belisama and a couple others who showed up to fuel the arena and murder us. Of course this event could not have been possible again without the tireless efforts of Champagnedragon who does our favor conversion every year, she is just amazing. We had The Sermonator bot again this year and it went even smoother then last year using the Priestpalloza system Raybarg has built, and the system just keeps getting better! Ok now on to some stats! We had a lot more granular data this year with some local logging and alts positioned around for log catching, and it help out a lot in the summary of the stats. Some materials we came out a bit ahead on again this year when adding the during event donations to the roster again. Usage stats are starting to become quite predictable now. Drama this year....... Basically none! My biggest grievance is the people who either cant or wont read the damn thread! Really I get that its a lot of information, but this is a huge event and there is a lot to it. So many PM's with questions that could have easily been answered in local or simply by reading the thread. I did receive some good feedback in regards to the thread and organization witch we will implement next year. >>Ticket Breakdown<< Guest Book Entries: Spoiler Second time at friendalong, ty all for the fun :D! - Jacqulina/Jacalina from Melody. 7.20.2023 2023 was a Fantastic party!! Thank for all you do to put these together! Had so much fun and even got a title from all the imping. Sorry I did not make my bed or clean my room, i was expecting maid service since I'm locked out of the linen closet! See you next year! - Kiena 2nd time at the impalong and had even more fun this year, a great event - thank you tot he hosts and helpers for all the work they put in organising, my favourite memory was giving Farlithe a challenge keeping me alive in the arena, next year I'll bring all my armour - Solinswith At FriendAlong's joyous event a sight so grand. Two souls engaged in antics, fish in hand. With laughter and mischief, they took their aim. Fishy high fives, a playful game. Their smiles wide, cheeks glowing red. They sways and swung, not holding back the dread. WIth each gentle slap, friendship grew strong. In the spirit of fun, they danced along. Amidst the crowd, cheers filled the air. As fish met flesh with a gentle flair. FriendALong's memory, forever they'll share. Of fishy camaraderie and bonds laid bare. - Fannon first time I got to join in events at impalong and it was really fun. wish i couldve joined the earlier days but i had work. everyones friendly and helpful. 2023 impalong. - Shatalkua Another year, another stellar impalong.

I don't want to think of how much cordage I went through, but I like to think a lot of people got their enchants worth. Only blew up 2 items, and 1 of them was a 7ql skiller butchering knife. - Sadmoon Aaedean had so much fun imping he cant even type today! He asked me to tell you he loved the event as always! He always loves the Arena the most and this year was a great time! His favorite part was waking up in the Bar each morning and not remembering where he fell asleep! See you again next year! - Aaedean Someone took my shoe! Also have you seen my pants.

I had fun imping though, and reached 90 blacksmithing. If you need help again next year, just reach out! - Kindashae Every year you manage to provide more exciting and friendly time. The work and love that goes into this even spreads all over wurm and that is just amazing to watch happen. Thank you for bringing these wonderful people together and for making our lives a lot brighter through your long worked for event. You have all our praise - Gemfinder My first time going to a friendalong, I didn't have much time to play the fun events and try to wind some cool things. But I did bring some items with me to help me improve my character and deed. Someone even imp my shield to a rare and that made me extremely happy and grateful. will hope to come again next year and hopefully have time to try out all the games. - Theurbanfox I've seen people get slapped with fish, assaulted a baby dragon, raced along the coastline and met some wonderful people. This has been an unforgettable experience and thank you for organising it! - Alkar today is 7/21/2023. i came here with my long ally spiderman from paleshade on independence. first time at a impalong. good experience. thankful and had plenty of fun. even got away with a few tricks. a thank you to everyone. looking forward to seeing new faces and old in the far future. thank you. - Garlfor My village came along, this is the first time for all of us. Pretty enjoyable! Helped to get a lot of our gear imp'd up way past anything we could do on our own. Learned a few tricks for certain things too! - Fannon I've been chewed on by a dragon, slapped with a fish, chased by trolls, caught diseases, and forgotten to eat or drink water while working tirelessly improving on spatulas and clay shapers that didn't belong to me. I wouldn't trade it for the world. Thank you for the experiences. - Seriphina Liebe Primordia und die anderen Danke das hier sein darf - Arx My first time coming to the impalong and its been a lot of fun. I cannot wait for next year! - Spiderman I came, i saw, i jumped - Bow. was a good implong to go to being the first one in 8 years - Bow In the bustling city of Friendship Bay, Virusmd, a talented inventor, stumbled upon a rare element called Seryll. Intrigued by its potential, Virusmd combined it with his latest creation, the GoldFinch device, renowned for fixing broken items. To his astonishment, Seryll amplified the GoldFinch's power tenfold. Now, the humble device could not only mend but also enhance any object it touched. Word spread like wildfire, and people flocked to Virusmd's shop, eager to improve their belongings. From cracked pottery to rusty gears, everything transformed into extraordinary masterpieces. Virusmd's reputation soared, and Friendship Bay prospered, all thanks to the miraculous trio - Virusmd, Seryll, and GoldFinch. - Aikainnet Thank you for organizing this, has been alot of fun! See you next year - Spoon Thank you for the fun and entertaining event. Well executed, as always. Also appreciate the opportunity to use my lib priest and gain some well needed channeling. Would be interested in seeing your attendance figures, as it seamed much less well attended this year, but perhaps it was just me. - Spacy Reddragon served me that well that when I went at night at my bed, I woke up the next morning in the hall and not having an idea how to get there Many thanks for everyone organized this nice event! - Caledxephrime Event Stats: Spoiler Local Info: Player #'s Date/Time: Max Local: 180 7/22/2023 11:37:14 Min Local: 23 7/23/2023 9:03:04 Average Local: 59 Unique Visitors: 283 Longest Visitors Stay: 109 Hours Crozius, Lisae, Tycho, Vanaras AVG Visitor Duration: 23 Hours Total EST # of Hours logged in by all: 240 Days Estimated time ALL visitors were online during event.

Posted July 27, 2023 Once again this is THE BEST impalong currently running. I look forward to this every year and every year it is always a HUGE honor to be involved. Even the minor involvement I have is so rewarding and to be able to be involved in the impact that this event leaves on the Wurm community every year is amazing. The fine tuned system that Virus and Gold have built in the backend is so amazing. The amount of coordination something like this takes to put on can be overwhelming at times but it shows how much VirusMD and Goldfinch care about this event by how much dedication and attention to detail. I hope to see this event run for a long time and I will be involved as long as it runs. Looking forward to next year. I am saving up the donations for prizes already. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) I like how the materials used has some in negative, I just picture someone imping and all the sudden they're pulling logs, cloth and yarn out of the items wondering how that works lol Edited July 30, 2023 by Bow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So by time i get it we already have the goal amount. Sometimes the amount donated exceeds usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
