After moderating the debate between the two sides I come bearing news! They have come to an agreement on how to find out which side is stronger at WoE.
Both leaders are going to volunteer the same members to fight against the heroes that come to the WOE. The volunteers from both the light and dark side will defend the castle, while the players from first one side, and then the other attempt to break into the castle.
The side who pushes furthest into the castle and clears the most rooms wins.
Prizes will be given to all participants, but are dependent upon how far the group makes it through the castle. If you don't even make it into the castle you'll get a few gift boxes, but if you manage to break the emperium and clear out the castle, you will get much, MUCH better prizes. If there is a good enough turn out there is the potential for this to carry heavier, more important, rewards.
This will be on a WoE map, but with changed stats on the map. WoE reductions will not be on, there will still be no exp loss, and if you die you do not instantly respawn back at your save point. There will be no GM commands used once the event is started, which means no full maps raises. The map is not gvg, or pvp enabled, which means that this event is PvM in a WoE castle, not WoE against monsters (for now at least).
There are no time limits to the event, you may crawl through the castle as slow as you would like, however if there is a tie in castle progression (for example both light and dark manage to get to the pre-emp room) ties go to whoever got to that point in the fastest time.
Everyone is invited to come to these events, all levels and all classes, and I strongly encourage you to wear reductions and bring some healing items.??
This is a new event that any GM can host and run. And whenever it is hosted it will be ran both light and dark, or dark and light, back to back. We are using this event as a gauge of interest and on timing for future events and projects. That means that for all of you people that are complaining that international people don't get events, show up to these when/if the events match your time zone and make your voice heard.??
When participating in this event, you either have to-
1- wear your light/dark gears (ToH wings, helm)
2- wear your allegiance palate, you can find this at Styla in Prontera.
Light side, to get your palate, you talk to Styla -> Cloth Color -> Allegiance Colors -> Light Allegiance -> Golden Gear
Dark side, to get your palate, you talk to Styla -> Cloth Color -> Allegiance Colors -> Dark Allegiance -> Vampire's Coupe
We hope to see you all at these events, stay tuned for knowing when these events will be held, and be sure to keep track of our HeRO twitter that you can find @heRO_Server for information about the server and other event information.
