Happy Halloween 2018 Renaissance! Event Megathread

If the idea goes over well there are plans to have a similar summer event to make up for the lack of pesky american holidays during the summer. More in the style of the new dungeon rather than the current Night of Horrors.

Hey now, We spent more time developing the new Pvp event than I did on the existing NoH. So Shhhhh!

I think they are 20 stones by either RunUO default, or me changing it years ago for the reward store. It was a trade off as OSI blessed every one of them I believe.

I don't mind looking into it however. My main concern is that things people purchase as a reward have some protection.

Shoot me some good times that work for you Wulver. Ill make sure to work them into the schedule.

The Night of Horrors expansion (Felucca rules, timed dungeon)

That change was to defeat the common bank scams where you initiated a trade, get a last target on the item and then canceled the trade for an easy steal. An extremely common scam around holidays and mostly targeting new players trying to sell items. It is only applied in that one instance. No others. As the player trying to sell the item needs a brief moment to determine where in his backpack that item fell to place it back in the bank. The thief doesn't have this restriction as they just set a target for the item.

Players have worked with the staff over the years to slowly remove blessed tags where they should not be, etc. However in this situation all monster statues are a single item. And if I made them varying weights a player might see a dragon he bought from the platinum store as 20 stones, but then be upset when a 5 stone rare statue he just was rewarded with for a kill was stolen when he could expect them to weight the same.

That said. Literally every other drop is stealable other than the spellbook rares (they are newbied by default globally).

Not a design choice for the event. Just governing world mechanics.

I believe the only items classified with weight this way are monster statues, platinum statues (they all weight 10, stealable but not easy), and filled commodity deeds. (We want to encourage players to sell bulk goods to one another). The trammel solution to things like this is to bless everything. For felucca we use the weight, and risk of the player dying in certain situations to apply the proper level of risk while being fair.
