Title: Arena Updated for Event (Video Contest)
Post by: Hunter on December 23, 2010, 02:01:16 pm
I've updated the Arena for the upcoming PvP event this Christmas.

Not allow above level 1.
Not allow AA points.
Not allow non-Gnome races.
Not allow banker to be summoned.
Not allow bind.
Not allow levitate.
Not allow buffs.
Not allow high level pets.
Not allow hail pets for buffs.

When zoning in, you'll go through some checks:
If your higher than level 1, or gain a level some how in the arena, then you get booted from zone.
Wearing items, or having any items/bags in any slots, or items on cursor will get you booted from zone.

If you get booted, then you should get a client error message saying why you were booted (level / items).

If your allowed in the zone after the checks, then it removes any pets, debuffs all your buffs, and sets your melee and casting skills to 0.

Then you'll be summoned to your cursor a variety of noobie weapons to choose from, and a stack of food/drink.

Everyone that zones in will have a date/time stamp with their name/level/race/class emoted to the local zone that you entered the zone so everyone knows when a legit player enters the zone.

Let me know if I missed anything. I'm trying to make this event fair.

I would advise a naming requirement for the level 1 toons to be that of the main toon they want the reward on + 3 random characters added to their name to be announced 1 hour before the event starts.

I should be home Friday night, maybe into Saturday night, if need to add or fix anything in this script.

Enjoy!

Hunter

I should hold a video contest, for best footage of this gnome pvp lol. Maybe 100 credits for the EZ_Store for 1st place? Unlimited video submissions are allowed, but only 1 key will be given out to best winner. Vote yes?

Hell yeah, but would i still be eligable for it since i won the last one?

Anyone is eligible and can submit as many videos as they wish. The best video of all videos will be chosen for only 1 winner of 100 EZ_Store Credits.

Consider this official post declaring a contest.

Video needs to be submitted by end of Monday.

Same rules as before, winner needs to submit the original video file to Hunter, and post the videos by the due date (End of Monday Pascific Time).

May be worth finding if Forbidden Prophecy wants to limit it to one or two characters from a given IP address in the zone. 

If we have learned anything from EZ it is that some players have 20+ characters they box that amazingly all do the same thing at the same time.  Might be hard to defend against 20 heat seeking warrior missiles.

Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified, I myself am not entering it, but will be there to make a video of it so we will know anyone who tries to put together anything sketchy.

Yes, there will be double loot for Christmas.

pull head from butt the view is great..

Lets see,
Majority of people wanted double drop.
Hunter said we will get double drop.
Some people wanted a event, basically the people that are only here causing drama atm.

A player guild decides to run a event and offers a free 4.0 book.

So what the fuck else do you want Rostam?

Can't argue with the facts.  Turkey Day was suppose to be 2x loot and was changed at the last moment.  Can you really fault a guy for asking if that is still the plan, considering tomorrow is X-mas eve?

Where is the Christmas cheer on these boards or in the game?   Chill people!

Are we doing a last man standing? I could make a "Control NPC" that we hail to "lock" the zone or prevent anyone from zoning or re-zoning in after the event has started to see who last man in zone is.
