Wotv and the legendary server

Posted on | by squirle | Leave a Comment on Wotv and the legendary server

Lots of questions asked, but also lots of questions unanswered still. We’ve settled on creating a “creep” like kin for our kinnies that would like to play with each other on the Legendary server. Kinnies are curious, but also noone has really committed to the server full time. The current officer team is on Evernight and will focus on there. Events will remain to be run on schedule as it’s now.

Launch plan Thursday to weekend
Bearlee will start a kin with (currently) the same name.
Everyone is free to join the kin
Officer/invite position open for all (current members)
Play, quest together with kinnies
All resources available such as website and teamspeak to non-EN kinnies

Unified/everlasting hope
Our allies are also playing on the server with a small detachment. For launch we’ve decided to not make a shared kin. Unified channel and runs are offcourse encouraged. They will likely have a larger base and 1 active officer on there. Options will remain open for later.

Post-launch
Depending on interest – a regular event such a creepnight. ViP only is a limitation for this.
Depending on interest – 3 and 6-man instances or epic story groups.
Low maintenance. Officers will check in, but not a continous presence or recruitment effort.
If a person really wants to settle on the server it’s in his best interest to use a pure legendary server kin.

Posted on | by squirle | Leave a Comment on Sunday Gondor calls for aid Triathlon 20:30 Cet

Next sunday (30 September) we’ll organise a 3-part event. Gondor call for aid. The first part will start at 20:30 Cet. Are you the quickest, agile and flightiest free people to roam middle-earth? Join us for the Minas Tirith Triathlon.

1 Gondor call for aid – Helms deep to Minas Tirith gate (war)steed race
For this classical warsteed race we’ll follow Theodens journey from the gates of Helms Deep to the gate of Minas Tirith. The faster you are the more points and prizes you win.

2 Ride shadowfax! – Can you beat the stablemaster?
Time trial (3 attempts, quickest time counts) From the stables in Minas Tirith we’ll make our way up the ramps of Minas Tirith to the buoy at the highest tier. Are you brave enough to try a warsteed or will you take your trusty goat?

3 The Denethor long-jump – How far can you fly?
Follow in the footsteps and crater of Denethor as we’ll walk, jump or race of the buoy of Minas Tirith. Who can get the furthest?

Prizes
For each event there are prizes to be won and points earned for the standings. Each event is rated as 1 and weighs the same in the overall standings.

Tip (crashes)
Minas Tirith is known for its crashes. Most of them a graphic related so turning down you’re graphics and doing a system reboot will help you not crash. A crash won’t disqualify you (though a death and retreat might). Race timers will continue.

Kin auction and lottery
During the weekend the kin and members will put up Kinship only auctions for a bargain. Check your local AH during the weekend for cosmetics, craft, scrolls and all sort of items.

Your classical lottery, send 500 silver to the char Lottovalar for a ticket. On the 15th of september during the Kin game night we’ll do /roll(s) X for the tickets sold. Is it yours? Congratulations and run to your mailbox for your prize.

Hide and seek – I don’t want to go to school
Around 21 Cet we’ll have several Hide and seek events around the Eregion area. The group will split in hiders and seekers. Hiders will get a few minutes to hide while the seekers hone their skills. After that they will unlease themselves to find the Hiders. The longer you manage to stay hidden the more points you get. The more you find, the more points you get.

After 15 minutes or all have been found we’ll head over to the next area (3-4 in mind). In the end the best hide/seekers will win some prizes.

School and library trials (speed run)
It’s time to head to school. A new event, an instance trial. Will you manage to finish the instance the quickest? Will you go for that extra pull and risk death? Categories will be determined depending on signup. But will work in level range and/or party size. Level 50 solo, Level 115 full group or level 75 duo for example. Want to participate? Let us know.
