Are you in the mood for some PvP action mixed with an 'escort the VIP' objective? Do you like partying up and defending your party leader with your life? Can you handle bringing a GM back to the city safely? Is this too many questions, and not enough getting to the point?! GOOD!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Here's how Betrayal! works:

A Game Master will hide out in a specific zone in a location that may or may not be easily spotted. When he/she is hidden, there will be an announcement that informs everyone that the event has begun. The Zone will be named, and it will be up to you to go find the GM.

Once you find the GM, you must invite him/her to your party in order to gain 'control' over them. Once in your party, the GM will follow the party leader to a predetermined city, which will be announced when the event starts.

The GM will only follow the party leader, and will leave party if they lose target of the party leader. So don't get on your mount and go running off, as the GM will run or walk considerably slower than you and your party members.

Here's where it gets interesting...

After running for a short while, the GM will stop moving for 2 minutes. During this time the GM will announce their coordinates on the map across the server, along with the name of the party leader.

This is the opportunity for other parties to find the party with the GM, and strike with Furious Vengeance!! The ONLY way for another party to get the GM to leave their current party is to assassinate the party leader.

Once the GM's party leader is killed, they will leave party and stay put for the next available party invite.

This process will be repeated until there is a party that can successfully fight off the other parties trying to steal their valuable GM VIP. Once that party finally gets the GM to town, the event is over, and the winning party will be announced and given a prize :D
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
A few rules:

1) The Party Leader cannot be changed once the GM is in your party. None of that "ZOMG the PL is gonna die! Change leaderz so we can winzzzz!!11" nonsense. That will be considered cheating, and shame on you.

2) You cannot PM/whisper, or otherwise ask the GM where they are located. If you do, you will be ignored.

3) Please avoid PM'ing the GM during the event. During this time they will need to communicate with party members, as well as announcing updates for the event.

4) Your party must have no more than 4 people in it, so that the GM can join your party.

5) This is a PvP Event! If you do not wish to get killed, this event is probably not for you! Please no complaining about getting killed... at the event where that's one of the main objectives!

More details will be added closer to the start date to refine which faction goes first, location, etc. Feedback is appreciated, as long as the thread stays on topic. I'd like to see questions and feedback/constructive criticism about this event only.

Both server at the same time ?

Are the 2 servers doing a different event ?

I'm not sure if we're gonna run one on one server, then the other next, or both at the same time. It depends on the amount of resources I have when the time comes to run it.

This sounds interesting to me too, and definatly +1 for creativity too. Please make sure it's on both servers, not just Hare or Tortoise. If it's only one one server, that one server will probably get a huge population boost.

I don't think I have it in me to do that to you guys, lol. It'll be on both. Either one after the other [worst case] or it'll be at the same time. Most likely myself being a VIP, and Katealyst. If she agrees to help, of course :3

May sound crazy, but if you can't get anyone else to help you, I'll gladly volunteer, you don't even need to compensate me, it just sounds fun :p

two questions:
- Is your gm character immortal? Because most of the damage dealers I know are quite AoE happy, and force attack afaik hits everyone not in team.
- Are we talking about 5-man or 25-man teams here? Any restrictions on that?

hmm interesting event..

what would the prizes be for the winning party?

Kumo

Love the idea, but would we have to heal the gm and will the teams be small or will 25-50man teams be allowed?

GMKrash
10-06-2010, 11:13 AM
Here's how we'll do this one:

-GM's will be immortal.

-Raids are not allowed to party the GM, but if there are raid groups for organization, so be it.

-Only 5 (or lower) man parties will be allowed to party the GM. If a larger group (raid) parties then the GM will leave the raid group.

-Prizes will be one (1) Gold Chip, and one (1) Crafting Guide per player in the party who wins (up to 5 people).

We're still not sure if we have the resources to run this on both servers at the same time. I'll try and find out today and keep you guys posted.

So I take it that's a no to my previous post to you? I was being serious, I'd love to help :p

Would it be possible to know in advance if the event is at the same time on both server or played sequentially? Because we could really use a raid on the other server *while* the event is on to warm things up. :D

So, if its 5 then would you have to go group and the gm is in a whole nother group?

Sorry, apparently I'm no good at even simple math. You'd have to have only 4 people in the party, and the GM would make your party full with 5.

So it's actually no more than 4 people in a party. Otherwise if you have 5 someone has to leave the party so the GM can enter it.

EDIT: Original post edited to reflect this new rule.

You're right, the higher levels will be the more successful in this event. But who knows, there might be another event in the future for mid or lower levels :)

This particular event, perhaps, but I have this tingling in my "Revenge Spidey-senses" that the torrent of Events is just beginning, and everyone will get a shot. Feel free to read between the lines...'cuz "I haz planz"

In my experience, this event has never really gone over an hour, and sometimes has gone as fast as 10 minutes. It really depends on how many people turn out for it.

Plus, this is just a test run, so I can see how I might need to change or alter it when I run it later. I'll also be collecting feedback from you folks after the event to see what you all thought of it.

The reward will be sent directly to your home address in a steel cage. It's a life sized replica of a random zentia mount.

I got the ox last time, he eats a lot but at least I do not have to mown the lawn anymore.

Hope like hell you do not get the giant scorpion mate :D

The first couple times this is run I imagine it will only be in the US peak hour times. But as it gets more popular, and depending on our resources, we may run it at more EU friendly times as well.

I 'spose its our fault, we should fly over to play, right? ;). I'm joking ofc, don't take offence :D. Great idea and for the first time i might just stay up late/early to play.
