MVP Tombstone Announcement

[GM-Ciar]

As per suggestions by players and agreement with the GM Team, we'll be adding MVP tombstones on the next server maintenance (reboot). We expect this feature to be warmly welcomed, but nevertheless there will be a trial period for it, for GMs to test the waters on how the feature fares.

What are MVP Tombstones?

When defeated, MVPs with a natural spawn time will leave behind a tomb where they were slain. Clicking it will provide the time of death of the MVP. It does not provide information on the next respawn or its location, only the time of death in server time.

Tombstones only apply to bosses with a natural spawn time, and not those spawned via script. This means that MVPs like Ktullanux, Thanatos, Orcus, Hollow Poring & Nyddhoggur will not spawn a tombstone upon defeat. Additionally, for a monster to receive a tombstone they must be flagged as boss_monster in their spawn file, so you might notice mobs like Snow Angeling produce a tombstone on defeat. Due to this, we ask that all players report monsters incorrectly spawning (or not spawning) tombstones, upon the feature's release.

The aim of this is to reduce the search and wait time for all players who are looking to defeat bosses, while also providing everyone an equal opportunity at competing for MVPs, instead of only dedicated players with tons of time and gear on their hands.
