heRO Event: PvP For Item Saturday (June 5th 2021)

[GM-Pandora]

I will host a PvP for Item event, this Saturday June 5th at 7 PM EST Server Time

There will be a surprise at the event! I wont say more, you'll find out if you show up

For those not familiar with the event. An item is announced, the first 2 people to enter the chat get to fight for it.

Rules:

The winner of the fight gets the announced item. Once a player has won two fight (and thus two rewards), they can no longer participate in fights for the rest of the event.

If only 1 person enters the chatroom, after more than 15 seconds have passed they win the reward by default.

I will announce it when there will be 3 rewards left. After those 3 anyone who has not obtained 2 rewards get 1 poring card per missing reward.

Players can leave after obtaining their items if they want, but there will be a final prize at the end for those who stay for the entire event.

Requirement: level 80+, any class

You can bring any gears, items, consumables, scrolls, etc. but you may not trade with other players.

Fighters will receive a 10 second warning before pvp is turned on.

The audience should remain seated during fights (to avoid hitting other watchers).

Outside buffs (those from anyone other than yourself) are not allowed.

The time limit for one fight is 3 minutes. In the eventuality of a tie, the announced item is skipped and may be announced again later. Both players may participate in other fights.

We can have a Last Man Standing afterwards if the participants are interested.

Edit: I will add details about the map once it's decided upon.

Addendum to clarify a few details for the upcoming PVP for Item event:

How this event works:
All participating players will be warped to a battle arena.
The GM will announce an item (or wear it if it's a headgear), and open a 3-person chat room.
The players that want the announced item must enter the chat room quickly.
The first two players that join the chat will fight each other, and the winner will receive the item.
Once a player has won two fights, they cannot participate for the remainder of the event. Pick your battles carefully!
There will be a mass PVP at the end, with a prize for the last player standing.
There will also be participation prizes at the end.
When there is no ongoing fight, a NPC will be provide Heal and Repair.

Will Kafra/storage services be available between fights? I think they weren't in the past but just wanted to double-check.
