There was a huge event last nite in DL/FV.

Did any of your guilds go?

Some of our mid 60s were there kiting the commanders to get upgrades for alts, but we did not see the event listed here:

Personally, I love events like this but hate the level of player it tends to draw out. It is so easy for them to be abused. I got ganked twice by idjits who thought it would be funny to create 60+ mob trains and circle Karnors. I decided I had better things to do, and was invited to witness RIP completing Blearchy's Epic 1.5, so that seemed much more fun and productive and took them up on it. Grats Blearch.

I was given links to the artifacts that were dropping while we were in Scarlet (around 11:00 EST) but I have no idea if those were local drops on our server or came from cross server /tells. It's quite possible that they held a war and nobody showed up.

Ditto here. After nightly raiding some of our guys went to XP, some went to bed, and a few went to the CR, er, GM event.

A few people snatched up the caster wands, but mostly alts were coming for the swords.

It was a good event, and a few of us from RIP and various other guilds did an impromtu raid on the Final Golem. It was pretty crazy. He had a ton of hp and hit for up to 2k with a 1400dd proc. We had gotten him down to 30% after 15min and he poofed :( It was fun though.

'War!
The ground rumbles beneath the feet of many soldiers. From the west rises a massive army of fierce warriors, both corporeal and demons wrenched from Hate. Twisted faces filled with hatred march with heated anticipation of victory. Leading them through the icy hills is none other than the dark lady Lanys T`Vyl, her blood-red armor gleaming in the cool morning light.

Across the lands to the east, the great wizard Al`Kabor spearheads an army of light. Elven warriors and archers move forward with grim determination to keep safe the fair city of Firiona Vie. Resolve is etched upon every face; every elegant sword gleams with purity and truth. Meanwhile, back in Firiona Vie itself, the princess lays ill in bed. With her father Galeth Veredeth at her side, Firiona rests upon silken sheets, slowly gaining back the life that has been siphoned from her.

The air swells with silence as the colossal forces are drawn inexorably towards each other. An age has passed since a battle of such magnitude has been waged upon Norrath. An era has ended, one of peace and prosperity. The time of war is upon us.'

- Jesus christ, about 3 years too late and so fucking wide of the mark.

Al'Krapmore the leader of the armies of light? Congratulations the whole world is now screwed.

One of our officers was there until about 3AM, and grabbed some screenshots that were shared.

Looked like a fun time, and wish I had been up to see it. Anyone have any idea if this is just a temporary bit of playing around, or whether the varied quest/epic NPC's are now relocated?

I was there with my 55 gnome mage - apprehensive to both sides - got to see Lanys walk up the stairs to the temple where Firiona Vie & Al'akabor had been standing. Wish I had thougt of a screenshot. Dragged a few corpses, got a few niceish loots.

Guide Winolan had to reset a lot of the mobs at one stage due to retards training them into the tunnels & some screwy pathing & aggro.

i believe the old mobs are set up on the east side of the zone, forgive me if i've got the direction wrong.

Inside FV proper are a few cliff golems and some goons ala OT outpost.

So, FV the city is different now? Weeee. Not like anyone ever goes there anymore :\

Apart from all the lvl 50-59s who want to buy/quest their spells. There are a few other quests there as well. I read that Firiona & co have relocated to the Drolvarg area though.
