Last year was Shard of the Dead. This year, it’s Shard of the Dead II AND The Festival of Fright, two evil events for the price of one. Today is the launch of The Festival of Fright! Log in and see the gamewide invasion of the deadly decomposing, spreading their thrills and chills across every shard. Coffins will spring open and their occupants will dance on their own graves, and even dig new ones for the unlucky. Undead death dealers of all kinds will gleefully rampage through all of Britannia, looking for the unsuspecting to play tricks on. Treats might also available if you know who to ask and who to kill before they kill you. And be on the look out for the Grim Reaper himself. This is his one chance to party, and he doesn’t like his revelry disturbed.

The Shard of The Dead will launch TONIGHT! This will take place only on the ShardOfTheDead2 test shard, and will feature experimental insanity that we wouldn’t dare unleash on a regular shard. We’ll be trying a few new tricks this year, so be ready for anything.

Its up and running now

Awesome! But what do you "do" there? hehe It looks like you kill each other? Because I put cursor on person and it says kills / deaths or something like that...

Very strange...

I felt like such a newb! I tried to dye my clothes in Brit but my hue's didn't work! Then I wandered to some maze and I don't know what happened but I kept losing 3hp every few sec's. I'm such a newb! Late here too. More adventuring tomorrow!

Lol I logged out... I had NOT a clue what I was suppose to do... there was people running around with funky colours and mounts... some where is diffrent forms I do not think you can get from spells, if they were halloween costumes I had not clue how to get them on... People where running everywhere and they seemed to know what was going on... I healed and rezed from whatever killed them... I seen some zombies and dragons and explosions.. I tried to avoid them but they kept having more and more explosions and once they reached me... I found they didn't hurt me...

I ran to rez myself at healers and I died instant after rezing... guess there was a zombie hehe... I seen a daemon of Wiki or something like that I thought he was going to kill me but he didn't and then there was this strange pool of lava... people were walking in it and the squares kept changing and when they stood on the square of the lava they died...

Man that was confusing made my brain hurt hehe... Anyway here is one screenshot of all the explosions

This was a little side project of mine for the SOTD and I wanted give you guys a little FAQ so you can take full advantage of the event.


Summary: There are two factions that are fighting for control of Trinsic.

Vampires and Vampire Slayers. You can join one of the two factions by using the faction stones scattered throught Trinsic. The main Vampire faction stone is just outside the main gate. The main Vampire Slayer stone is in the center of town. Be careful, the stones give off an explosion that kill the opposite faction. This prevents the opposite faction from camping your stone. The faction stones also act as shrines which provide you with resurrection.

Vampires: Vampires can not heal and take damage slowly.

Luckily they can heal themselves by attacking other NPCs and players. They recieve full health upon turning another mobile into a vampire. Vampires can turn vampire slayers into vampires by doing a certain amount of damage to them (the amount of damage is tweakable by me, right now its at 50%) Vampires can not attack other vampires. Turning a player vampire slayer into a vampire awards you with his soul which can be used for special rewards. The only way to rejoin the living is to die and ressurect.


Slayers: Slayers get a bonus to damage against vampires.

This makes up for the fact that vampires only need to get you to half health to turn you. (Currently Slayers do 175% damage to vampires) Killing a player vampire awards you with his bloody head which can be used for special rewards. The only way to leave the slayers is to die and ressurect.

Rewards:

- Killing a vampire NPC gives you a chance to get a cursed artifact

- Turning an NPC into a vampire gives you a chance to get a minor artifact

- Bringing 10 unique vampire heads or 10 unique vampire slayer souls to a faction stone gives you one of the following rewards randomly:
* Major Artifact (not cursed)

*Glass Weapon - Weapon that can be used once but does insane damage.

* Bombs - Each faction has a bomb that when used causes an area effect explosion similar to the ones at the faction stones. The explosion only affects members of the opposite faction.

Anyway's thats the jist of it. This event is happening on Shard of the Dead II in Fel Trinsic. You can port straight there from the second floor of Castle Britain (Trammel) or you can find your way there from the portal at Brit Bank in Trammel. Happy Hunting!

OH that makes a little more sense hehe! I was out exploring... I was eventally not even in a town at all haha! I was having fun... I was like "Hey even if I die it doesn't matter I am going to go explore and die a million times!"

-RMS Carpathia-

Hehe that was how I build my suit last night, until I got killed and didn't have time to go fight my zombie.

And those mazes are nice. The lava one, I've never gotten to the end. The random maze, I did a few times.
