Befallen Event -- Lanys T`Vyl mobs?
 

I recall on my server a time where Befallen was inhabited by dark elves. Was this just a GM Event, or was it a permanent revamp?

Was this just a GM Event? There are posts on Allakhazam from 2001 (as early as June, 2001) describing weapon drops. Does anyone know when the mobs were put in? I can't find specific patch notes on it.

Very interesting question. I had forgotten about this stuff and never really knew the origin. Ele or daldaen - any thoughts?

*casts summon lvl99 classholes*

Did a search for a shimmering ruby stiletto that someone referenced off one of those npcs. There's posts referring to a two week revamp relating to a group of dark elves in wc. Sounds like a gm story event that mixed up befallen for a short period. Would be neat to see it added to p99.

I remember that event. It happened on my server too, but I never learned a lot about it. I do remember that at the end of it, a GM-controlled Llanys ran around in WC doing a storyline.

I think I remember this too, I think the nooks would go there a get slaughtered by the higher level mobs

*The acolytes have performed the classhole summoning ritual.*

The revamp of Befallen seems to be part of an on-going set GM events and didn't spread out to all servers at once, but on a rolling basis as the GMs went around doing the event. Then some servers had the revamp taken away and reverted to the lowbie skeleton/rat version of Befallen, while others still had the DE infestation version. Some places report it as "Drow Infestation," "Death of Lanys," or "Malevolence." Lanys T'Vyl events. And also Malevolence.

Either it means they wanted each server to be its own dynamic world or they ran short on GMs/care to implement it evenly across all the servers.

Runnyeye was revamped a month or two before Befallen in ~May 2001. We may already have this version? Haven't spent any time in RE since early 2011.

I highly doubt we have RunnyEye revamp yet. I threw Befallen Drow Infestation on our Progression Timeline wiki page, with the hopes it will classically happen.

does this have anything to do with dark elf NPCs at a tent in WC? I vaguely remember that!

Probably.
