Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Trick or Treat!!It's coming close again; Halloween. Just like last year I will be hosting some festivities, games, and other fun stuff to celebrate the spookiest day of the year! This year Independence will be the server of haunting fun. When? Where? Who? What? When?Saturday the 2nd, and Sunday the 3rd of November is the weekend that our castle, Muspellsheimr, turns into the site where scary creatures and exciting games are found. Haven't picked exact times yet, but I am hoping to host this sometime in the late afternoon/evening for Europe, and morning/early afternoon for the US, so hopefully a good time for many people to attend! Where?On the Independence Server, in the most South-western corner of the map, is our deed, called Muspellsheimr. It is reachable by both boat and road, with a highway and a brand-new tunnel leading all the way to our doorstep. On this (http://wurm.dhcd.co.uk/map/Indemap.png) map, we are found at 8X, 55Y. [click to enlarge] From the Freedom Market, Akhenaten is signposted and should be easy to find due to a well maintained highway. from there, there are a few options to reach us; The RED route takes from Akhenaten to Pheonix Enterprises, from where a small backroad leads you through the forest to Muspellsheimr. I don't advise this route as the road is very confusing.The BLUE line is a tunnel. It starts just past Solace right on the highway and leads to the Muspellheimr deed. This is the easiest route to take.The PINK line leads you past the coast and over the side of the mountain. It's a small road and also a rather confusing area due to the twists and turns in the road. Who? Everyone! Bring as many people as you can, and invite all your friends. There will be enough to do, whether you are high skilled or have just started the game. The Wurm Online staff is invited, too, if they find time during the weekend. What? There will be a variety of games to play, the option to hold sermons for the priests, and of course good company and a good old scare! We have 34 beds in our inn, and more can be made. There will be hot pumpkin soup, delicious treats for the trickers, and a lot of fun to be had!A couple of games and activites that will be held; A game of Guess the Gravestone!Catapulting the Pirate GhostshipHalloween PiñatasBobbing for apples!A hell-horse Rodeorace for the higher skilled players And of course, there will be prizes, including a drakehide cap, lifetransfer weaponry, shields, armour, horse gear, and much more! Hereby everyone is invited to join and come have a blast! You don't have to announce your attendance; though it would be appreciated if you know you will come to give a headsup to give me a rough idea of the numbers. Happy Halloween! If anyone has more ideas and suggestions, or other things they want to share, please feel free to PM me ingame or on the forums.

Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) >http://youtu.be/DD10aFK0vHY Awesome video thanks to MilosanX! A little more information; The hellhorse race will be only for players with 31 or higher body control, the requirement needed to ride a hellhorse. You do not need taming skill. The hellhorses will be loaned from my own stock, so you don't have to bring your own The ghost ship event will require you to have 21 body strength, but that is the only thing required. Apple bobbing will be accesible for each and every player at the party, premium or not. Limited to one apple per person, though Guess the gravestone will also be for everyone, with no skill requirements. Though it does require you to have some spooky and scary knowledge! Halloween Piñatas is open for every player, and you might be loaned a set of armour if necesary. All of this will be provided on site though.

Posted October 27, 2013 So few events on Epic, I'm going to try to get there, an adventure in itself. If Rolf make an area on Epic where people can't kill each others, there might be events.. but well, even with that I am not so sure cause the word 'benefiting enemies' might taint it xD ..
