July Event Highlights

Oh my god...Having been gone for a little while, this event re-ignited my passion for KR after not being able to come for some time.

First off, I want to say thanks to the staff who ran this weekend and made it awesome. There seemed to always be something going on and it really made the world feel engaging.

The Good:

-All the Players. Interacting with everyone was tons of fun, and the new players really kicked butt getting started with us. I look forward to seeing more of you guys and what becomes of you. Very excited!
-The Food. Yum, amazing. Kitchen folks, you rocked it.
-Tower Mod!!! I did eeet! I actually went! and got to finish it! I got lewt! For like, the first time ever! As a healer, it's remarkably rare for me to search enemies when I'm too busy healing mah buddies. So Tower mod was awesome, meeting an old friend, Kit. Willow attempting to shoot a bow under Kit's tutelage. Realizing Willow using a weapon he's not proficient with could be both hilarious and terrifying.
-Getting to see the cavern zone for the first time. Getting to heal people. Shield of Nature saved my bacon so hard...
-I actually got gacked with an achilles strike and a waylay, falling flat on my face after being waylayed was hilarious, even the npc laughed. I swear it didnt actually hurt, although I bet it looked like it did.
-Talks with Meander about the world, people, words and mannerisms. It was truly enlightening and fun to pick your brain about what certain things meant. Very thought provoking conversations.
-Learning about religion and faith from Brother Aldric and Lucien. Somewhat after that asking another clergyman of a different deity if their dad was a god too. Considering how Willow was taught that Valos is like a father to his followers, he translated this literally. (insert laughter here)
-Being able to see some of my teachers, but every time I was out as Willow they were all super busy. Was nice seeing you guys! In a way I was super busy too, was my first event focusing on healing everyone. Ran on empty a lot of times.
-Grasp with Roots. Fricking awesome.
-Learning about Alchemy
-Sleeping in a tent was awesome! Having bed sheets was awesome! (I forgot those last time, *bonks self on head*)
-Showering was awesome!
-Spaceship!
-New Armor worked out great. ^^
-MAIN MOD OMG FRICKING LOVED IT! Thanks Joe, Rebecca, Damien, and Steve for brain-childing and letting me help you all make the mod awesome. It was an incredible perspective to have, and watching the roleplay by the NPC's and PCs was incredible. You guys immersed me and I was just a spider-butt who shot web at people.

The Bad:
-Heat + Humidity makes me a weeping willow. I felt narsty after being in it for awhile and while I'm glad my makeup didn't run, my garb made it difficult to stay cool. Had to take a couple showers over the course of the weekend to feel human again.
-Did I mention Heat?



All in all, this event was BA. and I had tons of fun with people. I look forward to next time!!

1) Main Mod: "You feel like death warmed over, but still frozen." "A Hot Pocket?"
2) Healer shenanigans.
3) Fantastic RP with several people. (too many to list here)
4) All the new players, fantastic job to both the NPCs and PCs.
5) As always, "arts and crafts" at the Shady Acres Retreat.
6) Getting to FINALLY interact with Quan Liu and some of the other warrior monks as an NPC I've been wanting to play for a few months now. Very happy with how things turned out.
7) Fantastically executed spider NPC on main mod, down to the glowing elements.
Life Stream, such a good skill to have this weekend.
9) Dave's merchant NPC actually having to come back to Logistics multiple times to restock what he had to sell. Refilling that treasure box like a pro!

I'll edit more in as I remember them.

In no particular order:

• Illyrin finally learning cleric
• NPCing main mod (HOLY CRAP, possession is so much fun to play with)
• HOLY CRAP, so many new players! You guys were great and I look forward to seeing you more!
• Searching all over the tower mod site for the necromancer's research notes or anything else that might help us better understand the situation while everybody else was doing battle
• Keavy specifically asking Illyrin for information on what they were probably being sent to the Rift to find - and being absolutely right about both the Wyld Stone we were seeking as well as the bow that we found
• Similarly, realizing that Illyrin is starting to really make a name for himself in Travance
• Gideon and Ardin Silverbow both sacrificing their magic? Holy hell!
• Also realizing that Illyrin is finally starting to become a pretty decent fighter, all things considered
• Lots more that I cannot currently recall because what is sleep

I absolutely loved this event, 10/10.

Um actually I only restocked once from logistics. I just came back to unload coins so I didnt risk getting ganked for the money. I would make around fifty gold then go back out with the tags I traded PCs for, past the first restock it was all PC items I was trading. :evil:

5 am and awake with visions of KR in my head.

The entire weekend for me before main mod was playing peace officer for the guard. Reports of theft murder assault and mayhem were the order of the weekend.
