    Howdy TAKP,

    We are coming right up to the our anniversary reset and we are past due to get notice out regarding our MM plans for the year. I'm going to update and repost the when/where and loot rules

    This year the raiding guilds have agreed to open raids once again using the same rules as last year with 2 minor additions

    When: These raids will occur: Weds 01/04 9pm est > Tues 01/10 (3pm est) > Mon 01/16 9pm est

    Where: MM will be killed the the courtyard of Castle Mistmoore. The raid will be positioned above and outside the courtyard which we will levitate over to.

    Loot rules: Items will be distributed via random. Each player may roll ONCE per linked item. Only level 60+ players will be eligible to roll. You may only roll for characters you bring to the raid to contribute unless an explicit exception is made before the kill. Items will be rolled on in the order they appear on the corpse - top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. When a player wins an item, they are no longer eligible to roll on the remaining items from MM this reset. MM drops 4 items - if we succeed in killing him 3 times, that means a total of 12 items for the entire year. Should you win anything, please consider yourself fortunate! As of this post, there are currently just 24 total MM items scattered across all of TAKP.

    This year we have 2 additions to the loot rules:
    1. You may not offer players plat to pass items to you
    2. No passing to players unless they are next up in the roll order, and please keep passing to a minimum (don't roll if you don't want it just to keep it from someone else!)

    Who can attend: This raid will be open to all players on the server who are willing to abide by the loot rules, follow direction, and be attentive! You must be level 60 to roll on any items that drop.

    Classes that contribute to the encounter:
    Exceptionally geared knights with the fearless AA are a requisite for this encounter, we will also need a well geared bard or two to keep them company. Beyond that, ranged dps and healing are the most effective choices for this encounter. Least effective will be melee dps such as rogues, monks, and warriors who will be relegated to throwing stones and hooting from the sidelines (or potentially jousting this year??). Having said that, you should feel free to bring these classes if you would like to roll on an item that they can equip.

    If you have a quest item to turn in to MM: This year your windows for turnins will be short. MM spawns on server reset, and has a respawn timer of ~5 days. I'd recommend you visit him ASAP to get your goodies or after he respawns monday evening 12/26

    Final Note: NAG expects to be in PoTime on Weds 12/21 and as such I will not be present for the first kill! If any other guild's raid leaders are available to run the raid and distribute loot please do so!

    Good luck vampire survivors!

    forgot about that post. seems some like it before and some like it after. I think the main point of it is to celebrate our anniversary and our anniversary could have been on February 1st 8 years ago. Everquest celebrates in March but then they have the christmas events.

    Awesome, I think everyone will be jazzed to have it start in January! I will talk to everyone in the guild leader forum and figure out if we want to keep the same sequence of days for kills.

    I think the event always started around chrismas and lasted to the first week of January? I thought it was scheduled that way due to people having holidays and could enjoy it more.

    that’s what I thought, I’m a little surprised it’s not over the holidays, I thought every anniversary event has been so far, right? or maybe I’m wrong on that?

    hmm maybe so. I wasn't thinking of that way this year. For now on, we could just have the anniversary event on the anniversary day instead of before or after continueing through the reset.

    Did I offend you, Rob? That was not my intention, at all. I just wanted to offer you a different perspective.

    no you didn't offend me at all. I wasn't thinking of how we have done it in the past . I just know when our anniversary date is.

    Like planning just about anything, some people will be happy when it is, and some people won't. I've talked to a handful of people who were sad when we thought it was over the holiday break because they are travelling or wanted to spend time with family and would miss the whole thing. This is staff created custom content to celebrate the server, let's let the staff be the deciders when it will happen instead of being sad when our assumption is incorrect.

    Last year the anniversary events ran from December 22nd to January 4th. Maybe this was because PoP released Jan 5th and we didn't want overlap of anniversary events and PoP?

    Yeah, I can definitely understand postponing it. I'm in a somewhat similar situation having people come to visit next week. So while I will be off work, my playing time is not likely to increase.

    You'll get a little bit of people from Column A wanting to postpone, and Column B wanting it over the holidays. For me, I was a column B person because it enabled my poopsocking abilities for the Cavalier when that was a thing.

    12-26-2018 - Anniversary Quest Enabled
    12-27-2017 - Anniversary Quest Enabled
    12-28-2016 - Anniversary Quest Enabled

    This is what has been done. But last year, there was more discussion on doing them later. Because some peoples schedules over holidays, do not allow them to participate. So it was discussed to push it back another reset.

    But people forget ....

    Holiday schedule means I can participate, so therefore Robregen is discriminating against me by delaying the Anniversary Quest - therefore I demand compensation. Will accept 1 mil plat as reparations.

    don't forget 12-31-2015 - Anniversary Quest Enabled

    so in 10 years it should be 12-12-2030 - Anniversary Quest Enabled.

    It would make sense to have quest start on the anniversary.

    Lets say my wedding anniversary was Jan 1st. And I said to my wife on Dec 12th. Happy Anniversary!!! Or if I waited until Jan 5th. Happy Anniversary!!!

    I guarantee there would be nothing “happy” about it.

    Yeah I started 2018 and I only realized until now its the TAKP anniversary event, not the new year's event. Cus it is the TAKP Anniversary event, should be the reset the anniversary takes place.
