Halloween 2007 Events Testing

Hello everyone, and welcome to our annual testing cycle for our Halloween events! Over the years we’ve had many an opportunity to capture your sweet tooths with tantalizing treats and shiver your spines with terrifying tricks, but this year, ah this year – we have something special indeed.

There will be an invasion, of course, and tricks and treats and all things between. There will be a Shard of the Dead, and live events on your own home shards. But beyond that, we’ve prepared something that will shake the foundations of Britannia to the very core. Hyperbole aside, we will place in your hands a task of momentous importance: one to lose at your shard’s peril.

But enough with words. Let the testing commence! Allow me to describe our initial slate of activities:

• “TC1” will be immediately renamed to “Halloween 2007” and published with our initial testing materials
• Daemon Invasion of Magincia
o Travel to Magincia by Moongate and other magical means will be disabled
o Players logging back into Magincia for the first time since the publish will be teleported to safety in Trinsic
o Travel to Magincia will only be available by ship, or by “sailing” with the military at the Trinsic docks to aid in the advancing invasion
o New monsters, new rewards
o There will not be a client publish until next week, please do not report “Cliloc” errors when text is missing
o There may be higher than usual lag in Magincia for the duration of our tests.

Count Draconula will be making appearances throughout the testing period, and also providing more information as testing advances.

“Velcome!” – Count Draconula
