2 months ago we did a few nights in a row of RPTs (Recommended Playing Times) and it seemed to work out really well. A lot of folks were online and the response was very positive.

So I am going to do a week of RPTs starting Monday July 7th and lasting until Sunday July 13th. The time for these RPTs is 9pm EDT until midnight.

SOMETHING will happen every day during that span of time. It might be something huge or there might be a few different things that are minor. Things might happen near the beginning, the middle, the end, or throughout.

The main point of these "mystery RPTs" is to gather people online at a scheduled time so "stuff can happen" and everyone can have a blast.

I understand that due to time zone differences of our players, the times for these RPTs are not perfect for everyone. For that I sincerely apologize. If this series of RPTs goes as well or better as the last, I will try to figure out some other time(s) that will include people who were left out so far. But bear in mind that is very difficult to do since the majority of our players live in North America.

Thanks and have fun!

Second RPT Night: Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Global heals from the Emperor of Thrace.

A large, global RP event that involved a challenge from Herastia. Participants were tasked with gathering food from all over the realm - with the stipulation that none of it could be store bought. Here is what they returned with:

Code:

peanuts                        x10
pokka egg                      x10
Bountiful Feasts               x10
pieces of pork                 x7
meat of lobster claw           x7
slabs of steak                 x7
tough porks                    x7
thistle berrys                 x6
goat tenderloinses             x3
handfuls of yummy cherries     x3
slimy glands                   x3
hare stew meats                x2
juicy steaks                   x2
walleyes                       x2
large chunks of crab meat      x2
royal honeys                   x2
shelled peanuts                x2
filets of largemouth bass      x2
mackerel          
crocodile meat          
head of cabbage          
rabbit's foot          
flank steak          
piece of venison          
ripe, red tomato          
lima beans          
wedge of brie          
beets          
small pumpkin          
swamp rat meat          
mozzerella cheese          
slab of moose steak          
owlbear liver

The food brought in had a total healing value of more than 70 sirloins!

As a reward for the impressive display of food gathering, Herastia blessed all food in the land to make it DOUBLY HEALING (note: some types of food in the game are unusual, and will not be affected by this). For most food, that means it will give double the normal hp, sp, and ep but will have the same cost (when bought) and the same filling amount!
The gathered food was distributed to clerics and ranking members of the assembled faithful so that it could be distributed as those religious leaders saw fit.
More periodic deity heals from Herastia.
Some Free food from Herastia to everyone!

Third RPT Night: Wednesday, July 9, 2008

Global heals from King Borgia.
Emirikol announces that he stockpiled sirloins, banquets, and dried fruit that had benefited from Herastia's Blessing. He puts his entire stock up for sale. His available blessed food lasted for about 2 RL hours.
Bast rained danar upon the land many times.
Reports started coming in of strange, foul creatures lumbering along the docks of Sable. Soon they were wandering the cities. These foul beasts were relentless for a time, but were eventually put down by the mighty adventurers of the land.

King Borgia healed the land numerous times, and rewarded everyone online with a special boon: anyone whose player level was lower than their guild level had their player level raised to be equal to their guild level.

Some of the people who massively scored from this boon (names obscured to protect the boosted):

Code:

L********* went from plvl [11] to plvl [12]!
T********* went from plvl [12] to plvl [13]!
N********* went from plvl [ 3] to plvl [ 7]! <======= LOL! 4 Levels!

R********* went from plvl [25] to plvl [26]! <======= WOW!
K********* went from plvl [11] to plvl [12]!
K********* went from plvl [10] to plvl [11]!

Additionally, everyone received a hefty experience point bonus.

Nephrys, who was moved to the last place team after round 1, and never had anyone on her team that had placed better than 4th (out of 5 teams) without her, won every round! For her victory she received the right to bear the title of "Arcanus Champion", as well as a suit of Dragonskin Leather of Evasion that was tempered and deeply enchanted.

I hope everyone who attended had fun!
