All contestants were portaled to an Island east of ulgrim's island. Small landmass, not on the map. After most finished buffing, the +leo announced it was a false pretense and we had to fight off monsters to survive, last one standing wins.

Or at least a pookie clone hehe. The winner is enclosed in the screenie, Jinto Junior. He recieved the title Holtburg survivor champion."

Trog dor of VT reports: "Hey Maggie, There was a live event today (2/10/05) on VT. A global went out asking for 25 players from 70-80 to come to holt. I got there and was immediately swept to some very desolate island way off the south coast. We were given time to buff and were basically told that we would all be meeting the lifestone again shortly. The admins left and various creatures started spawning everything, from brown rabbits, to mad cows, to white rabbits and eventually high level virindi, among others. I was one of the last couple alive and eventually got killed by a Contagion Rat. The last survivor of the event was Reign Of Darkness and her prize was the title "Holtburg's survivor champion." Thanks for the great site maggie!"

Celestin of WE again, I notice you got a fair amount of details, but I wanted to fill in a bit more. One of my mages, Megumi Mithralmage, was the winner of the Holtburg Survivor contest on WE, and so I wanted to fill in on the rewards. In addition to the title change, I received:

4 writs of refuge
+LeO-inscribed Mosswart Thanking Stone (pic included)
370-wield loot-gen sword (Which promptly blew up)

Di of HG reports: "On March 5th there was a live event for characters level 80 - 99 in Holtburg. I decided to send my char that was in that level range (Dianas level 80). The +Lem sent 25 of us to the top of a mountain near the Plateau and told us that we were going to be punished for all the creatures we have killed just for loot. Saying things like ever think that the observer was just out observing the world or that the drudge was out getting food for his family etc... so he started out small bunnies and worked his way up the line sending various creatures on that mountain to kill us. The last person to live was given a reward. NEEDLESS to say I never thought that I would be that person... so I am sending you pictures of the thanking stone inscribed with Dianas standing underneath with her new title of Holtburg Survival Champion. (also got 4 writs)"

Scavenger Hunt
Report from Maggie: I was lucky enough to be online when the announcement of another scavenger hunt went out! We met in the Holtburg Meeting Hall and teamed up into fellowships. Then once the word was given, we were off to ransack our mules to provide the items listed! I was rifling through the backpack of a mule when I heard that we had 1 minute left to return! On no! Although I had 5 of the items on the list to contribute to my team, my connection was soooo slow, that I couldn't log Maggie back in and get to my team to add them to the pot before the tally time was up. Luckily, I was fellowed with the packenest-packrats in the game! My team had duplicates of most of my items, plus Gwydiana was cooking up a storm, so we managed to squeak out the win with 14 points! Yay! We were rewarded with a Marble Key!

Broadcast from +LeO Como Two off-duty members of the royal guard have appeared in the Holtburg meeting hall looking for people to have scavenger hunt with.
LeO Como waves high in the air.
+LeO Como says, "We will wait a few moments before we start, portal space can be very fickle :-)"
+LeO Como waves.
+LeO Como says, "We will now begin."
+Leo Brussels says, "Hi Maggie, many a time I have heard people speak very highly of you. It is a pleasure to meet you."
+LeO Como says, "My friend and I were feeling bored in the officer's barracks so decided to use our free time to organize a scavenger hunt."
You say, "the pleasure is mine"
+LeO Como says, "While we can't offer you fame and fortune, we will reward the winning team as best we can."
+LeO Como says, "You are welcome to create a fellowship with up to 9 people to find these items."
+LeO Como says, "I aplogize, up to 6 people :-)."
+LeO Como says, "Once you are done creating fellowships we will give each fellowship leader the list of items to be sought."
+LeO Como says, "Please start creating your fellowships now."
+LeO Como says, "Remember, you may not log out or portal out until we say Go."
+LeO Como says, "From the time I say the word 'Go!' you have exactly 20 minutes to return with as many of the items as you can."
+LeO Como says, "If you return after the 20 minutes are up or leave the hall before I say go, you and your team will be disqualified."
+LeO Como says, "Are there any questions up to this point?"
+LeO Como says, "Upon your return, you will need to hand one of us a pack with your team name and team leader's name inscribed upon it."
+LeO Como says, "We will calculate how many points your collection of items is worth - the value of each item, in points, is listed on the item list."
+LeO Como says, "Please note that you only can collect one of each item on the list."
+LeO Como says, "Once we have calculated the number of points you have we will return the pack to the leader of your group."
+LeO Como says, "Once we have calculated the number of points you have we will return the pack to the leader of your group."
+LeO Como says, "Once everyone's points are calculated we will announce the winner, if there is one."
+LeO Como says, "If two or more teams are tied with the most points we will announce that and name a bonus item."
+LeO Como says, "The first teams to produce the bonus item and hand it to me will be the winning team."
+LeO Como says, "Will the fellowship leaders please step forward so that they may receive their item lists?"
+LeO Como says, "Please remember not to log out or leave the meeting hall until I give the word. I will wait a minute or so to let you share the list with your fellowship and ask any questions."
+LeO Como gives you Parchment.
+LeO Como says, "Are there any fellowship leaders I have missed?"
+LeO Como says, "Any last minute questions?"
+LeO Como says, "Excellent, when I say go you may start. You may also then be able to log out and portal."
+Leo Brussels says, "Go!"
+LeO Como says, "Go!"
+Leo Brussels says, "Good luck!"

+LeO Como says, "Dark Caster's fellowship came in with 5"
+LeO Como says, "Mog Bermley's fellowship came in with 11!"
Gwydiana slides a pile of MMD's covertly to +LeO Como
+LeO Como says, "Maggie the Jackcat's fellowship came in with an amazing 14!"
+Leo Brussels says, "Congratulations to everyone in Maggie's team!"
Toe Jam Too says, "Packrats!"

+LeO Como says, "Will Maggie's team please line up along the wall over here? Please note that you must keep your fellowships so that we know who to reward."
+LeO Como says, "Is that everyone?"
+LeO Como gives you Marble Key.
+LeO Como bows deeply.
+Leo Brussels bows deeply.
+Leo Brussels says, "Take care everyone!"
+LeO Como says, "Thank you all to everyone. Even if you did not win today, we appericate your participation!"
+LeO Como says, "Please see your fellowship leaders to retrive your items."
+LeO Como says, "Thank you all!"
+LeO Como waves.

Zerono of HG sends this brief summary of the event:
"The LeM would open a portal to the dires (VoD LS). When stepping into the portal that the LeM cast there was more lag then I had seen in ages. The whole LS was littered with corpses and pink/white lvl 1 noobs. Death message upon death message came in. Portal storms actually happened again! When the event took place on HG. A few of us had grabbed our high level chars and started running monsters into the noobs. The LeO and LeM had a good laugh about that.

The idea was to just go anyway you wanted from the drop and get as far as you could without getting killed. Pretty much anything out there would 1 shot you. You ran as far as you could for about 30 mins. If you died then you send in your coords to either the LeM or the LeO. Then most people would go pink and do some noobie pklite fights. The LeM even summoned some VoD monsters in Holt and when they used rings OMG it was so funny. The event was like no other. I hope they run another event like this."

Escaped Convict

February 11, 2005 - TD

Blizzard' of TD reports: "
Sup maggie, guess what! Grazfen escaped again, and with the help of Elistan, Auma, Me, and Donald Trump, we ran 100 clicks to elistan's cottage. We were getting messages that we were heading there, and had to run through 200 pkls and 2 envoys, but we took shelter in the cottage until they gave up. We were teleported to an unreachable landscape, and were awarded. I got an inscribed pack idol."
 

(click to enlarge)

--thanks to Blizzard' of TD

Dear Maggie,
First off, I would like to say that you have the best website in the world ;) Anyway, to the event. It all began a week ago... (enter flashback here)

Last Friday
Auma (me), and my patron Syning were hanging around in Marketplace, when a live event goes out! Being level 5 I listened to my patron's chattering of the event as she hunted Grazfen. Booooring. So I went and @told Grazfen, and wow, what a great guy. Charming, Handsome, everything! Anyway, we had proven to me that he was totally innocent. I got Sying and Caiden from our monarch and went to Hebian-To to try and protect him! But, alas, we couldn't arrive in time and Blizzard' with the assistance of Elistan received his spear. But! There was something different about the spear, carrying an inscription saying "To Auma...." It's crazy how many tells I got, (I know now what it feels like to be a big celebrity like Maggie the Jackcat) and finally we persuaded Blizzard' and Elistan to aid us in Grazfen's Defense! He even gave me that spear! We barraged poor +Leo Netherlands with angry tells, and not affected, he responded with a simple "I'll we what we can do." We planned to meet again a Friday a week from then.

Monday
But Grazfen wasn't patient! He escaped from the Glenden Wood Dungeon cells and ran. Luckily, Syning was online to aid him and had a powerful group to defend! But, one member was treacherous! Grazfen was felled with a single arrow in the back! We decided that on Friday, only the original fellowship shall get together!

Today (Friday the uhh, 11th?)
We were prepped and ready! Me, Blizzard' and Syning head over to the Glenden Wood Dungeon! We raided the place and waited for other fellowship members to arrive. Elistan and a friend brought by Blizzard, Donald Trump, arrived on the scene! It appeared, however, that we were too late!! Grazfen had already escaped! And was hiding around the outskirts of Cragstone! We met up with him, and our fellowship was graced with Grazfen himself!
We began a horrible, horrible run to Blizzard's Cottage, evading many chances at death! My newbie self died a few times, but I was only 18th!! We arrived with a change of plans, and a new fellow member. Dark (something or nother) had fellowed, and we were getting new coords! Blizzard's house was locked and we ran to Elistans. All on the fellowship channel... Which was bad. Soon, +Leo Netherlands got the coordinates to Elistans cottage! We were waiting with bated breath as we entered the settlement. Only a few l33t pkz were there waiting and we got inside safely.

Ah, the sweet taste of victory.

The crowd dissipated until only 5 remained, and we were portaled out of the cottage onto some high, faraway mountain where Grazfen could live! In favor, I received a pack Ursuin, and his 2nd Spear! Inscribed of course ;) BLizzard' will probably send you pics soon! Love your site!

Auma of TD
Oh, and not to mention, I got a farewell kiss off of him!

Rhesus reports from FF (above right): "Hey Maggie, Asaki Wei came calling to Sawato on Frostfell tonight (Feb. 13, 2005), my clan's home town actually.

And so, plain and simple, we fought the shadows back and murdered the man for bringing it to our town. Thanks and love your site!!"

Rhesus sends this update: "Hey Maggie! It looks like there's more to the eye on this Gleaming Armor than is first apparent. It will tinker. In fact, I tinkered my entire suit tonight, six times on each piece. The whole suit is now AL 350. It will also Retain. I put a bag of leather on each piece also. I'd go for tinker 7, but even with ws 10 steel and a capped tinker, it's really hard to get 100% and I refused to tinker this stuff with anything less than 100% chance.
Thanks so much for the site!!!"
 


Glenden Wood Survivor

February 12, 3005 - FF

Houndam the Great of FF reports: "All level 100+ were invited to attempt.... First the +LeO's gave us some cannon fodder.... but before we knew what came next, there were Obliterators, VoD Type Virindi, Diamond Golem Suzerains, White Bunnies +Much Much more.... El Un Dios won in the end, not sure what he won.... but he did get a custom title. Mustve had a good run skill, died about 6th last myself.... There was no hiding. The Obliterators and Rabbits made sure."

Congratulation to El Un Dios who survived the Glenden Wood survival test

Interview with +LeO Milan

Hey Maggie it's Julian's Touch from TD. We got a broadcast on TD (Feb. 12, 2005) saying :

Broadcast from +LeO Milan> An emissary of the royal guard has appeared in the Holtburg Meeting Hall seeking master tradesmen to assist him.

+LeO Milan says, "Greetings! Lets give everyone a chance to arrive and for me to collect my notes on the items needed."
+LeO Milan says, "You have been summoned this evening to test your skills as scavengers and tradesmen."
+LeO Milan says, "In a few moments I will give you a list of items which I will ask you to craft for me..."
+LeO Milan says, "As many of you know Dereth is usually facing great amounts of peril."
+LeO Milan says, "Between new species arriving and attempting to take over the land and old species growing stronger, we have a lot we need to protect ourselves and our land from."
+LeO Milan says, "The first group of up to four to return to me with the items will help save Dereth and will receive a prize."
+LeO Milan says, "Does anyone have any questions before I reveal the items that we seek?"

someone : "will i need to craft ?"
+LeO Milan says, "Possibly... this could be a good chance to show tinkerers and other trades how well you do."
+LeO Milan says, "The last time I asked this land to provide Red Colored Gauntlets that were Tinkered, Some Green Tea Ice Cream and a Dyed Black Sukian Robe."
+LeO Milan says, "This time, we're asking you to provide the following..."
+LeO Milan says, "A shield with Melee Defense and it's value increased by 5 tinks, a Rabbit Pie, and some Solrets died Red."
+LeO Milan says, "er dyed... preferably not coated in blood."
+LeO Milan says, "One person will be the responsible party who turns in the items. The items will not be returned."
+LeO Milan says, "Again that's a shield with Melee Defense and it's value increased by 5 tinks, a Rabbit Pie, and some Solrets dyed Red."

Al Capon says, "is that a helm of crag"
+LeO Milan says, "Yes it is."

While people were gathering the items, i chatted with Milan :

Me : Is it fun to run live event ?
+LeO Milan says, "Sometimes, it depends largely on the players around, how they react and how they bring enjoyment to the event"
+LeO Milan says, "Each world has different attitudes towards the events."
+LeO Milan says, "This event is a crafting event, combat isn't required so it tends to invoke a lot of distaste in many."
.+LeO Milan says, "There will be plenty of those in the weeks ahead."
.+LeO Milan says, "We've got 9 worlds each needing events for the next few months to fill in the gap without a patch."

Kalico Kat says, "lol I enjoyed the race even if I died within a few mins of reaching the dires :D"
+LeO Milan says, "Thanks, part of that was something I helped design."

Me : Are you an AC player, AC fan, or you are not playing ?
+LeO Milan says, "I'm an AC player and have been since retail."

Me : So i have no doubt you have tons of ideas for event!
+LeO Milan says, "Some of the events are involved and more complex, so we're waiting on Turbine's appoval."
+LeO Milan says, "We have ideas for story arc type events. At the moment believe it or not we have very few event "types" to follow."
+LeO Milan says, "Fox & hound events seem to be fun with people running after a person."

Broadcast from +LeO Milan> Akkadian Sin has successfully provided me the required items.
+LeO Milan says, "Congratulations!"

Me : what did you won?
Akkadian Sin tells you, "heal kits, marble keys and 4 mmd's"

Me : You say, "Milan, if you want succes on TD, make the drudges attack a town :) or mites <3"
+LeO Milan says, "You never know... an invasion could be coming to a town nearest you!"

Thanks Milan for this chat , and the event!

Eaters Arrive!

Hey Maggie,
I logged in as Sideburns this afternoon to take him for some Chozorite mining when I noticed a critter in the heart of Cragstone. I saw it run by, and it was nothing I'd EVER seen before. After Id'ing it, I knew what it was. It was a valmontian pet, an Eater!

Sideburns ran up to it (right next to Lt. Kenneth in Cragstone) and we had a stand off. It attacked me first, so I grabbed my xbow and tried to slay it, but to no avail. It killed me!

So, with my hometown under attack by this creature, I logged on my highest level character, Brayden Von Grohl and went looking for the Eater. I found him quickly and chased him almost to the town crier (where the portal to Cragstone drops you) and the Eater growled at me! I brandished my slash rend sword and killed it quickly.

I looted the corpse and it had only a few items, a fish, a viamont toast, a pair of boots, leather tassets, an apple and a linen cowl. The stats on the viamont toast are: Viamont Toast, value 22p, 75 burden, restores 9 stamina when consumed.

I also read where there were Eater sightings on Soclaim as well. Thanks Maggie... I would be lost without your site.

The Viamontians Attack!
Celdiseth steps outside to enjoy the night air...glancing around he sees something never seen before on his shore...

On Morningthaw, a group of Viamontian Knights lead by a Lieutenant and his Eater portaled into Dereth just outside of Celdiseth's Archmage shop. These Viamontians were level 85, and adorned the new Viamontian armor.

The creatures fell quickly to Pierce attacks, and the assault was stopped, almost as quickly as it started.

With the drop of the finishing blow, the marching orders from General Corcima fell to the ground, indicating their plot to spy on us. Unfortunately, Antius would not hear our plea to take the letter, so we tried carlo, who was also uninterested.

We are being raided, and nobody seems to care. I fear the worst.

Thanks,
VanDyne - Morningthaw

Shadow Tempest reports from TD:

Hey Maggie,

Viamontians attacked thistledown today outside of celdiseth's cottage. Viamontian knights and mercenaries and an ugly beast that looked like it was all teeth called and eater. They all went down fairly easy and a global went out when the first knight fell. Only the one that killed the knight could open the corpse. He found a set of orders on it that neither Antius nor Carlo would take....

Varicci's Orders

You are tasked with a mission of which General Corcima himself is unaware.
You are to find this Queen of theirs - this Aluvian wench.
Find her, and bring me her head.
I care not how you accomplish this feat.
Kill whomever gets in your way, be they Bloodless or not.
But do not return to my land without that woman's head!"

March 13, 2005
Mykell of FF reports: "Hi Maggie, Another Viamontian raid today on FF outside phyntos menance. They went down quick....."

Escaped Convict Harmlet the Green!
Renswic of HG reports:

Hiyas Maggie, we had a life event on HG last night (March 19, 2005). I wasn't really paying attention untill my vassal said we should hide the escaped con in my villa. Well the asshat in me knew that would piss off a good number of people, so it began. I told Harmlet the Green (the con) where my villa was and offered him sanctuary, and added him to my guest list then closed my villa. Not long after we saw this broadcast:

Broadcast from +LeO Badger> It's been overheard that Harmelt is being helped by Renswic. He is running to his villa at 17.9n 36.3e. Get there before he does and kill him when he arrives.

Well the few people that knew where my villa was started showing up, then came the LeO:

+LeO Badger says, "Renswic!"
+LeO Badger says, "How dare you."

As more and more PKLs showed up, I was in tells with Harmlet, then all the sudden he's in my villa and has about half the server running after him. My vassal (studdly mcstudderson) invited him in and even gave him a cookie. After giving him a tour of my villa (he even named my guard tusker statue :) ) we hid out in my villas basement. Not long after we saw this broadcast:

Broadcast from +LeO Badger> In the confusion at Renswic's Villa Harmelt the Green managed to escape. We will capture him next time!

Harmlet thanked us, posed for a SS and gave us a couple keys and left. Sadly, I was too busy playing host to think of taking SSs of the lynch mob outside my villa! In the end it was a hell of a good time. :)

Yaraq Apple Orchards Attacked!
Angeline Rayne of HG reports (March 25, 2005)

Hello Maggie!
Well to begin with I was on my way to Olthoi Brood Hive (80+) when a message appeared on my screen saying that the apple fields were being attacked and they needed help. So I went running there to see what was happening. When I first got there there were only sewer rats, but as we kept killing bigger and bigger monsters appeared like Burun, Mite Queens, Margrul's, and so forth. Then when I thought everything was over, a Tremendous Monouga spawned in! I just had to laugh! But anywho, we killed it and they ended with VoD type liches. I just wanted to send u some pics that I took for you to look at.
