(( Just an update since the event is tommorow. By the looks of things, I'm guessing we'll have anywhere between 15~25 people attending, give or take a few.
So, here's just a brief overview of how things will go down OOCly.
Gathering will start at 6:30pm CST. Depending on numbers, we'll be split off into three or four groups. I'll need a volunteer to lead each group OOCly and ICly. That person will be required to have an additional linkpearl for OOC use during the length of the event, so they must have one free slot. I would also ask that the person in question have knowledge about the NM camps, and will be able to lead their party to them.
The event linkpearl will be used to make sure transition between camps (if required) goes as smoothly as possible and groups don't shift over into another group. Groups themselves will be assigned randomly to promote more interaction between the community, as that is a big part of this event. It won't kill you to break out of your circle for a little bit! Don't worry though, you'll be able to meet back up with your friends for the second half of the event and the after party.
If you have a class around 20-30, I would recommend using that for the first half of the event. Your highest level characters will be suggested for the Great Buffalo hunt. Any loot from the first half of the event should be distributed fairly amongst whomever needs it. Use of the /roll function is encouraged.
We'll kill the Great Buffalo a few times, depending on the time. Loot from the Great Buffalo will be handled by a single roll. Anyone caught rolling twice will immediately be disqualified from obtaining anything. No exceptions. If people decide to grief and spam rolls in order to mess with those keeping track, a back up plan is on the shelf. I don't believe it will come to that, though.
The gathering after the hunt will now take place back at the Anchor Yards were we will have gathered, as the Drowning Wench might get a bit crowded.
If anyone has any questions, or would like to volunteer ahead of time, feel free to contact me in-game or send me a private message here on the forums. ))
