Alright, so I figured I'd take a shot at a community-wide event. This should be a fun event that anyone of any level should be able to participate in.



So, after much deliberating, I figured I'd come up with a way to advertise the guild I'm in, since we just got done with kicking out a lot of inactives, and I'm looking to get new members to join and fill in the spots. Posting a thread and just hoping to catch players who just happen to be looking for new guilds is getting harder the more time passes, so I figured I'd give it a bit more effort. Which is why I bring the entire server this event (which is the type of guild event I wish to be able to do in the future on a regular basis but on a smaller scale)! As a tl;dr, the prizes will be ogrines in the form of eGift cards.



The game's rules!

- The event will last for 5 hours, starting at 3pm EST/12pm PST. It will end at 8pm EST/5pm PST.



- I will be at Almanax at the top of every hour, and I will mention what item I would like players to find. As soon as I mention the item, everyone will break off and hunt for said item. Anyone is welcome to use any means necessary, from bribing each other, PKing each other, buying from the marketboards, finding it in your alt, guilds can work together, so on and so on.



- At the 30-minute mark, I will hide somewhere in the world. I could be inside a building, in the sewers, at almanax, ANYWHERE in any of the places below (except instanced areas like dungeons, and I will not go to Mt Zinit). The first person to find me and trade me the item will get a $20.00 eGift card to use for ogrines or whatever else they want. Players can even split the prize if they so choose; one player uses $10 to get a pack of 5k ogrines, then gives the remaining $10 to the teammate. I will then give them the code through PM to whoever traded me once the trade is complete and I am in possession of the item.



- The order of nations I will hide in will be:

* At 3:30PM EST/12:30PM PST, I will hide in Astrub.

* At 4:30PM EST/1:30PM PST, I will hide in Amakna.

* At 5:30PM EST/2:30PM PST, I will hide in Bonta.

* At 6:30PM EST/3:30PM PST, I will hide in Brakmar.

* At 7:30PM EST/4:30PM PST, I will hide in Sufokia.



- As for what type of items I will ask for... I'll aim for an item that can be found in the nation I'll be hiding in. For example, if I will be hiding in Amakna, I will ask for an item that can only be found in Amakna. I will not ask for a supremely rare item either; no Legendaries or Epics, no shiny resources, and no ridiculous amounts of items. I will make sure the event is fair for all players, regardless of level or accessibility to resources.



- If no one has traded me by :55, I will go to Almanax and wait there for the next phase of the event. So make sure you're keeping an eye on the clock so that you don't accidentally miss out on the next item to be found!



- If someone wins a gift card, he or she can participate again. If the same person wins 5 times in a row, then congratulations! It's hard to keep track of a player who's already won due to there being alternate accounts and heroes, so I'll just do away with that stress factor and just let everyone be able to re-participate.



- Lastly, to give you a hint of where I'll be hiding... I'll be somewhere where PKer trolls can't get to me, like on top of a mining node, in a town/building, right next to a clan member, in a non-instanced cave, but I will NOT be in my Haven Bag. So make sure to split up and search everywhere!





Anyway, that's it for my event. I figured gift cards would be a highly sought-after prize, considering it can be used for boosters for accessing new content/heroes for a month/that one thing in that one website you always wanted but never had the money to buy/etc.
