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.

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.
