10th Ringwar happening today 10am US eastern(28 aug)

[Pan]

Omni and friends will be attempting the 10th ringwar today at 10am eastern US time.

That means that the Great Divide zone will be depopped...no exp there for a couple of hours. It also means that if we fail, Thurgadin will be full of giants for two or so hours.

In addition to the giants, there will be dwarves all over the zone - so if you are KoS to the dwarves, watch out. They will want to eat you.

If you get caught in the crossfire, we'll rez you.

If you manage to get aggro on a giant, PLEASE do not train toward Thurgadin. If even a single giant makes it to Thurgadin, the event is over. Please run SOUTH down the river and we'll try to pick it offa you. Worst case is we rez you.

I'm torn on inviting people to the event. I'd rather not have 300 people in the zone and desynch it. But I'm also unwilling to turn people away who are:

1) Good players
2) Can follow instructions
3) Show up for the sole purpose of helping out

The loot, should we succeed, will be distributed after the raid and really shouldn't be a motivator. I'm not sure how the distribution will go. I'll make that determination later today.

PM me here if you have questions.

Sorry for the pending disruption to the GD zone. It's one of those Velious things. And it's one of the most fun EQ events EVER.

This event was kinda buggy on Beta, so I expect some hiccups today. Some of the problems have been fixed, apparently, but I really don't know what to expect.
