PSA: Reminder to all players that there is a real world out there and UO:R is best served in moderation this time of year. OK chums, times up!
Are there going to be overworld spawn that will drop holiday coins while this is going on? Like undead creatures and such?
Overworld spawn will start today, the staff is still setting everything setup. Once it is ready the town criers will announce ingame and on IRC
Not trying to start an issue but......are there any measures to lower the chances of any certain group taking control of the overworld event?
The overworld event will be a bit larger this year. However it is a felucca event with all the dangers of out of town activities. There will be conflict no matter how it is designed. But we will be spreading it out a bit this year.
Can mage/bards participate in this event (the instanced event, i realize everyone can participate in overwold event)? Or is it more geared towards crafters and dexxers? I have never done it before. What are useful templates to take along? Luven
