Title: Halloween 2016 - RebirthUO-style!!
Post by: TrailMyx on October 27, 2016, 09:22:06 PM
[FADE IN, RANDOM OSI SHARD]

Fizban attempts what seems like his 1,000,000th Trick-or-Treat attempt.  I guess he should have thought to raise begging first.

After a full day of wandering aimlessly from vender to vender, Fizban decides to call it an evening.  He sat sleepily in a chair next to the bed, just too tired to even think about getting up and moving to the bed.  His eyes drooped as sleep assaulted him.

A strange sensation envelopes you as you realize you're no longer in the same land.  "What, where's my red robes?"  This looks like Blackthorn Castle, but there's something menacingly evil going on.  Plus the banker is a Balron, so that's different.

Ah, Quest givers!  They are asking for some pretty creepy things, but heck this is a dream.

Hey what's this?

[Evil sounds......]
Wait? What's that?

Wow, free resurrection and corpse acquisition!  Neat!

Welcome to the RebirthUO Halloween Event 2016

Yes, this is the 2nd annual Halloween Bash.  Last year Crome969 and yours truly (TM) put together a no-holds-barred Halloween event that includes:


New for 2016

So the main thing you do through out this event is KILL.  Rewards are automatically added to your pack, so looting is optional.  You should loot and evaluate the normal treasure drop since RebirthUO now has the same or similar loot quality as a traditional OSI shard.  So if you're poor, now is a great time to build up your fortune!

So get a head start now by jumping on RebirthUO and starting a character.  The noobie quests are online *NOW*, so you can easily be prepared by the 31st.  (Yes, I tested from a ZERO skill character - 24hours including script GM of magery)

So if you are really tired of Trick-or-treating and want to actually play some fun Halloween content, please come and give RebirthUO a go.

Hey!  Good to see someone else got the memo!  :)  Would love for you to come back and give the event a go.  Ghost and Grunt need playmates anyhow, so you'll have some company especially this month.  Plus you can come get your noob on in the noobie castle (kinda like a deadly bounce-house)  lol.

What have you been playing since Rebirth?

I've been watching one of the Hitech army trying to break into the noob castle now for a while.  Just doesn't get old.  :)

Every once in a while, the Seers and Admins will allow for peeps to get in there and laugh as everyone dies a horrible death.  For a while, industrious and persistant players were breaking into that area, but I believe the hole has been plugged up sufficiently.  :)

The sounds you hear are just for atmosphere.  I wanted to make the dungeon creepy.

Hitech mentioned that our Halloween dungeon reminds him of the Confusion dungeon that Nilmer at Alexandra made a long time ago.  Frankly that's a huge complement because if anyone ever played through that dungeon, they'd understand how complex and interesting it was.
