PvP [ edit ]

In Guild versus Guild during this event, the opposing Guild Lord drops 10 Birthday Cupcakes for each player of the winning team when he dies. To prevent exploitation, no rewards are offered if (a) the match ends after 28 minutes without either side killing a Guild Lord or (b) the battle ends in under 5 minutes (e.g. due to one team resigning or zoning).

These NPCs continue to appear for one week after the Anniversary Celebration until May 13, 19:00 UTC.

Notes [ edit ]
