Running traditional Halloween events that everyone loves through Monday the 8th.

You have unwittingly opened the time rift and allowed me to enter your domain. I should thank you for this, but you are just a simple fool and knew not what your actions would bring. Do you know now what time it is? It is time for me to make an example of you for all this world to witness. Your lifeless corpse will hang from stakes, a reminder of how easily I can sweep your world's inhabitants aside.



"The disciples of Nexus report it has been engulfed in darkness and a spell has been casted upon it.
Meanwhile a strange rift has appeared..."




And no, no credits, sorry.

Halloween Zone Rules Clarification

Because Hills of Shade realms are public and sometimes contested, I am posting the following guidelines for these instances:

  • If you enter a realm already occupied by another group, you have equal rights to pull as they do. You don't have a right to zone pull however, unless agreed upon between the 2 groups.
  • You may claim one entire area of Halloween as your pulling area, the remaining areas are free-for-all within the realm.
  • If you are in a Hills of Shade realm, and wish to zone pull, but it is populated by another player you believe to be AFK, you must send them 2 tells in a 5 minute period asking if they are actively camping a spawn/area. If you receive no response in that 5 minute window, you are free to zone pull until such time as that person returns, at which point the first rule applies. Deaths to AFK groups as a result of zone pulls are of no consequence (dying means very little on EZ anyway)
  • Lastly, if you are capable of zone pulling multiple realms (as in you have multiple zone pull capable characters spread out over realms), I would ask, nicely, that you think of other people if they ask if any realms are open. I have no issue with anyone using their characters to the max, but if you're in that position, it's likely you're padding your ZP and loot multi counts, and can afford to limit yourself to less realms.

Still getting cases of phantom realms, I have 13 toons in Realm 9 yet when someone came to loot something I ooc'd they said no one was in realm 9 .... this has been a major pain in the ass for the last few times I've played this event, maybe we can look at that as well? ...

Zoned my rogue to nexus, went back to get in my realm... nope...9 says 4 toons, I know I have 12 in realm 9 as I just left it ..... now my rogue can't loot anything and I can't leave the realm or I won't be able to get back in the same one

I think this only happens when you log out inside an active realm, when the server does a cleanup of inactive zones yours gets orphaned.

I'm pretty certain this wasn't the case today, everyone started in nexus went to the void and got some toons in 9 then tried to get the rest in and 4 went to a totally different realm, they were in the actual realm 9 but the other 9 toons were in limbo somewhere..

Another thing, you used to be able to port a group from nexus to the void if someone clicked on the portal, no you have to click the portal on every single toon to make them go to the void..

Found out you can just target the portal and hail and it will port your crew. better than going through every box and clicking Smiley

Same thing happened to me in realm 9 aswell. Wanted to loot something up but was alone in realm 9 after I joined it. And yesterday I was in a broken realm 2. maybe this happens when all realms are camped? Because from monday to friday on my regular playtime (where 80% of the players are in bed) there was no problem at all when there were lots of empty realms.

Well this event really was awesome. I mean yes you have to invest a lot of time and do a lot of ZPs but with some help of RNGsus you can get really cool stuff.

I successfully got 3 Mixlor, 3 Noot, UW Dagger, UW Sword, UW Bow, 10 shoulders, 5 earrings, 2 necks, time rift generator, 2 gorgons stare, 2 masks, 11 million xp, tons of ZP, DL, TL and all the other useful stuff…

Cant wait for the next round in a few weeks / months
