    Never got my trophy or extra coins. All I did was cast a spell dropped by mobs with regs dropped by the mobs. I paged several times :(

    Never seen that message, wow! Was that from killing the black knight, or Balam?

    Was the night of horrors over... or was it?

    Since the server crashed during the event due to a bug with Balam's AI everyone was reverted about 10 minutes. All of the players involved in the event were given 15 holiday coins in addition to what they had at the time of the crash. Since we cannot determine what everyone globally had before the crash we cannot reward specific players for accomplishments during the time in which nothing saved.

    While it is unfortunate it is our policy to not replace lost items due to a crash, bug or other issues since it is not a service we can provide fairly for everyone. This is an extremely rare occurrence on the Renaissance server (the last crash was 11 months ago).

    Wow, do you get that message every time you kill Balam? I need to stop and smell the roses more during these things, I'm always too busy hitting stuff.

    Anyways, awesome work everyone.

    I believe everyone gets the "...or is it" message, but the system message about the statue only goes to the person earning the kill points for Balam.

    Cool. Regarding the statue, I've found that on Balam's body twice now. So either there's two of them given out per death, or perhaps the person who earned it was not in range (or not alive) at the time of death.

    According to Balam's page, he will always drop a statue. I'm not sure how accurate it is though.

    Right, I think I have heard with the "straight to pack" drops on other monsters in other instances that if you are in the vicinity of the monster and have earned the item (or platinum or hcoin), it will go to your pack with a message. If you are not in range, it will drop on the monster's corpse.

    At least one of those you saw on his corpse was likely mine. I received the points for killing him, but died moments before he died and was barely at the entrance to the throne room when he went down and didn't get the statue :(

    That is most likely due to a failed range check. Or the inability for it to determine a clear winner.

    And everyone should get the message about Balam dying.

    I would like to point out that if you don't kill Ballam's acolytes he keeps spawning monsters when he's hit. So stop hitting him when the acolytes respawn and kill them. But with that many people in that much chaos I think this should be removed probably.

    So what you really mean is while suckers like you take care of the acolytes, I can just beat on Balam and increase my chances of winning.

    Pretty much, yes.

    That Ballam/Acolyte thing is key and it's not really fair to the majority of players as the only way to know the best way to defeat him is to have been in on testing the event. (like I was)
