On Live, wasn't there an event where giant skeletons were "crawling" (spawning) from the East Commonlands grounds? The General (or whatever the name of the leader) would drop a pretty decent two handed blunt weapon with its own graphics that was lore. There were other minor weapons and perhaps a few jewelry pieces too if the old memory serves me well. While the items were not "phat lewt", at least on Bristlebroken, higher level players helped the lower level players gain these items.

Oh, I think the skies were turned blood red, similar to what was found in the Plane of Hate (?) (forgot which plane has that effect).

I hope Rogean puts that Bill Cosby touch on my candy tbh

someone got a fungi and one person got an aon on red for the quest

That was a time to be around. It was awesome on Quellious with a bunch of GMs playing many of the bosses live.

I mentioned this on the announcement thread but you know a lot of people are going to sit around and see what the "prizes" are before even attempting the event. They have to see if it's going to be worth their time to roll a newbie or do the event themselves to sell the "prizes."
