Ok, so I am planning on running a PvP event sometime in the near future and was wondering if there would be any interest in it. This event is based around the idea of factions, raiding a base for a goal. It will take place at my house in the Felucca facet and will be competed in by 2 teams. The way this will work is by guilding each participant to 1 of 2 guilds which shall be at war with each other, thus allowing access to the house even when you are the aggressor. There will be an item to reach at the top of the house, most likely a weighted box, which will have to be taken back to the raider’s base. So that both teams have a goal to aim for, there will be a time limit on the war meaning that the defenders will win if they hold the base for a long period of time.
This is the layout of the proposed event. The 2 bases are indicated by the red dots, the one in the mountains is the raider’s base, and the other, is obviously the house, and base of the defenders. The red lines indicate the boarders of the event and will be indicated in game by bagballs.
Rules:
1. No mounts or pets of any sort, as it is a small area it means that there is no need for mounts and it will also allow for the battles to be made longer and hopefully more enjoyable. This also means there will be no ninja animal forms allowed either!
2. The second rule is that there is no hiding and or stealth allowed. This goes for all forms of hiding meaning that invisibility spells are not allowed (got to be fair…)
3. Certain spells that have an area effect are requested not to be used. EQ, chain lightning (not sure about this one), meteor swarm (not sure about this one), holy light and probably wither. All other spells are allowed, unless stated in other rules(obviously this is subject to change, as I am not too sure if there are any others that could effect it, mainly in the newer skills as I am not too familiar with them). That kyrss, and the taskmaster, with 100% hit poison area are also banned
4. No characters with bushido please! Well, at least no evasion to be used to save you retraining characters. I would also request that deathstrike not be used either as people can't exactly run far, though I am not too sure on that one... (how detrimental would ds be to the event?)
Other than that all spells and skills are allowed (however I am willing to listen to other rule suggestions).
You will be allowed to res up your dead
The offer of this event is open to all still, reds and blues! The two guilds mean that you wont get counts or from killing people
The teams I will try to keep more guild orientated as much as possible. That way if guilds use vent/ts they can still use it. Obviously it would be good to split it up more as that is the whole fun of UO. Playing alongside new people would have been more enjoyable. With the state of the game nowadays though, I doubt this would work too well though...
The attackers will get an extra 2-4 people on their team, depending upon the numbers that turn up!
There will most likely be an entrance fee of 5-10k (not sure yet, and depends how many people turn up). This is to cover the costs of this event as I will be providing regs, pots, bandies and most likely bolts and arrows for each base so that people don’t have to be worried about restocking if they are looted/ don’t have to carry 100’s of regs about with them.
I had planned to run this event a long while ago, but when I first thought it up I did not have the time to commit to it, therefore it couldn't happen. Now I have the time and I am bored as hell, so thought i'd try it now. I also quit for a while, which didn't help its cause either!
I-C members are free to enter too if they so desire
