In the past, we had to institute a temporary policy where Good aligned players should not be questing for evil questmasters and Evil aligned players should not be questing with good aligned questmasters. This policy was a crude bandaid to fix several large issues with the game. The policy has now been revoked.

As of now, you are free to quest with whomever you wish

With the following changes:

• Group Questing will now affect your alignment, these quests will once again cause your character to shift between good, nuetral, and evil. If you wish to maintain your alignment, you'll have to quest for the correct questmaster.
• The Quest Enquire command has been added which allows In-Character public knowledge regarding whom is questing with whom.

Angels and Demons still have their roleplaying restrictions appropriate to their races, and the god/goddess of each religion may or may not have restrictions as to whom may quest with whom within their religion: any such restrictions will only apply to their followers.

Today will be a day of holiday themed global quests and casual conversation. Although many of us can't be here with you for the next couple of days, we wish you all the best this holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the coming year.

Starting January 2 and going until January 8 (7 days), Eladar in association with a few others will be running a QuestFest.

During QuestFest players group up into teams and have their current Quest Point Total recorded at an obelisk that will appear in New Lensmoor and Antrippa City. After being properly recorded, players will begin questing. Prior to the end of QuestFest they will go to the Obelisk and use the finish command to save how much they have gained during QuestFest. At the end of QuestFest the totals will be determined and the winning teams will be given prizes.

On Saturday, December 22 at 8pm Server Time, the God of Battle, Kron will be hosting a Winter Brawl which will be a series of fights. This is not a tournament, the winner of each fight gets paid.

• All Participants: Respect Status

In-game Announcement

[World 340/340]
Subject: Winter Brawl (Tomorrow Evening
IC Date: 12 am, the Day of Work, 23rd of the Month of the Rat, Year 411
===========================================================================
I, Kron hereby announce the Winter Brawl, to be held very soon at the 
plateau (OOC: that city-like area) of the Frozen Crown. It shall be duels 
to the death... but not boring duels where people don't use mana stones, or 
feel forbidden from casting spells like scattersarm, no no no! These fights 
have no rules... well, almost no rules! 
 
I shall be giving a cash prize and a token to the winner, and just a token 
to the looser to be buried with them in honorable death. Also both 
participants shall earn public respect appropriate to a duel to the death 
 
Rules are simple: Leave the plateau and you shall die by my hand. If more 
people jump in I may.. or may not... send them to interesting places like 
the rocks on the mountainside, it's a risk they'll have to take... or not! 
Other than that, all's fair. 
 
So, who is confidant enough in their strength, cunning, and resources to 
fight to the death for the glory of battle and the rewards that come with 
it? 
 
(OOC: Fights are to begin 8pm server time)

Located within the Anhora Ocean, the Alken Archipelago is a land that has
been sealed away from the rest of the world by a magical vale. To appease
the Pantheon of immortal gods for being removed from the rest of the world,
once a year Kingdom of Alanon opens Rosendale to the population of both
lands. As a neutral land they celebrate the coming of the seasonal harvest
and promote trade, further enhancing the prosperity of this isolated
nation; peoples from both Lensmoor and Antrippa are welcome. The immortals
are known to show up as well, so Rosendale's population puts on the best
show it can for their benefit.

In short - A neutral location where players are able to have fun in a
fall/thanksgiving/halloween setting.

Think of it like a new, somewhat smaller version of the Spring Fair in a new place with its own set of perks.

It features for a limited time:

• Immortal run events such as a nobility contest, a statue crafting contest, pumpkin carving contest, and more.
• Fair coins that buy slightly different things
• A maze with achievement
• A powerful spellup mob (for lowbies or the magically impaired)
• A 'special' buyable potion

The actual contests will be announced ICly soon.

The festival grounds will open at 12 noon system time; an in-game news post will announce the opening. The Festival will run until the 10th.

When: September 1st through September 7th

Teams: Teams will be tier-oriented based on low (levels 1-29), mid (30-75)
and high (76-91). Each team may have five members; each member needs to
remain within the tier ranges for their team throughout the entire event.

All teams should have a chosen leader and a spiffy team name. It is the
leader's responsibility to submit a list of their team members to me no
later than August 31st at midnight systime. Teams that are not registered
will not be able to win prizes.

Solo Participants: Have no fear! You may participate even if you do not
have a team. If you would like to participate on your own, you do not need
to pre-register. The top scoring solo participant from each tier will be
considered the winner.

Prizes: The top scoring team in each of the three tiers will win a prize.
In addition to a super-secret reward, there will be a gold pool distributed
among each team. How much gold each team gets will be determined by the
number of people who participate in questfest. The award given to each team
will then be divided equally among its members. This means that a team that
wins with only three participants will receive a larger overall award than
a team that wins with five participants.

This gold pool will start at one thousand platinum and raise twenty-five
platinum for each person that participates. If forty people participate in
QuestFest, that is an extra thousand platinum that gets added to the pool.
Each winning teach will get the amount of platinum in the pool. Solo
participants will receive a flat rate platinum prize as well as the secret
reward.

Game States: Game states will be turned on infrequently, if at all,
beyond the normal no-limit which will be on for the entire weeklong event.
