Being that our townspeople are largely farmers and merchants and typically unskilled in the ways of war, your king’s counsel has conscripted 70 Britannian Militia to lead the charge against the orcs. All able bodied citizens of our kingdom will report to the old brigand camp to join up with the Britannian Militia to eradicate every last smelly orc. Your king’s guard will be charged with protecting the cities and towns.
Be forewarned; at the behest of Lord British, special militia guards will be keeping order in the battle zones. Pets, summons, and non-aligned players will all be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Lord British demands an orderly extermination of the orc and cannot oversee such a complex operation if it is overrun with malcontents and unwieldy magic.
Reward: Lord British has himself pledged a great deal of gold and other rewards from his coffers to the hero among men that can deliver unto death the greatest number of these vile creatures.
Rules -
The Server will be wiped the weekend of March 5th with the reopening scheduled a week later on Sunday March 13th at 8AM Pacific. Gameplay will be normal Angel Island rules until Sunday April 17th when the conflict begins. This should give everyone time to build up their characters, create guilds, etc. Even during the conflict the rest of the shard will operate normally for those not participating in the event.
Angel Island will be returning to normal operation beginning March 13th. No more wipes.
Okay, by the numbers:
Here are the details so far regarding the event:
It's Orcs vs humans in a Role-played event that will run from Sunday April 17th through Sunday June 5th
Orc NPCs at the Orc Fort in Yew provide one kill point as do Britannian Militia at the old Brigand Camp.
Orc’s PCs must be "Orc" aligned via their guild. Humans PCs must be "Britannian Militia" aligned via their guild.
Pets cannot participate in the event (any pet damage nullifies that kill’s points.)
Magical summons like energy vortex, blade spirits and field spells will not gain points and may well fizzle in these areas.
Any players not so aligned which enter the battle regions will be set upon by special militia guards which will assume you are working outside the kingdom's purview and will deliver unto you a devastating blow.
There are no murder counts in the battle zones. If you are there, you are not innocent.
Magic will be of limited usefulness as both sides will be equipped with special region-bound items of spell reflection.
Kill points can be gifted orc-to-orc, or human-to-human
Orc’s cannot gain/transfer orc-kill points, and humans cannot gain/transfer human-kill points.
Orcs must kill human NPCs at the old brigand camp and humans must kill orc NPCs at the orc fort in Yew to gain points.
There will be prizes for the top three heroes and top three orc fighters.
At the end of the event, the orcs and humans with the highest number of kill points will win the prizes.
(Actual prizes still being worked on and will be announced at a later date, but they will be very valuable and will include one-of-kind items.)
Items 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 above attempt to keep the battle somewhat balanced and to maximize its RP potential - a largely hand-to-hand battle between man and smelly orc.
But not to worry, there will be other events where mages and tamers are central to the theme. And besides, every account needs a melee fighter, just make it the first character you create!
Usual gameplay during the event:
Orc PCs are encouraged to protect their NPC brethren at the Orc Fort, likewise for the human PCs at the Brigand Camp.
For anyone not interested in participating in the event, you are welcome to use this time to forge your weapons, stock your vendors, or just go on about your usual Angel Island business, just stay clear of these areas during the event. But even if you've never PvP'ed before, you are encouraged to try it. These large scale battles can be some of the best fun you will ever have in an online RPG.
