NEW SERVER RULE (no longer first to engage)
 

First to engage... no longer applies for outside raid targets. Apparently, first raid force to get closest to the mob = win. You can pull a dragon to your raid force, but oh wait - someone else can come over and out agro you and take it to their raid force. The pullers that can sum up the most agro and get the dragon to their raid force WINS! No need to be nice.

Thanks so much for the heads up on the server rule change. Time to load up on those mallets, shit...might as well re name the server Midnight Mallet Wars!

CAN'T WAIT!

I'm sure glad you posted that Metal! Before someone gets screwed out of a big boss mob!

Q: What classifies a mob as "Engaged"?
A: A mob is classified as engaged as long as it has aggro on at least one player.

This old rule doesn't apply to pullers anymore in an outdoor zone. This is what I got from today's ruling. Mind you it was a rule made previously by another incident, but never posted publicly. How are you to know about it? Either read it here and hope us non GM/Guide people arn't BS'ing you, or find out for yourself!

What "Ruling"? I've been the only GM online today and I haven't responded to any raid disputes.

You may want to talk to amelinda than. She was on and talked to uthgaard supposedly in irc.

Vesica Dei mad?

I don't think you're ready for this jelly.

Amelinda said she would make a post clarifying the ruling. So I guess we can all wait for that...

(insert conspiracy theory that takes 5 pages to resolve)

Maybe this was a joke? Not sure since it's in RnF. But in case it was serious...

Amelinda made a ruling after Faydedar was engaged by one guild but pulled off and killed by another.

Logs, ss's, etc going up in Petition forum later with further details and clarification requests.

(I'm curious - which staff member is writing their thesis on 'Gamers and Neurotic Paranoia: a Comparative Study of Nerd Rage, Delusions, and Anti-Social Behavior' ?)

:( sounds ominous my dear vd friends
