Cancelled.
Maybe some other time I'll feel like giving to the community (smiley)


**This will be done on Christmas, or another scheduled date.
Since people will probably be away on Christmas
**



I will be creating a map or adding NPC to my current one (Level 80 area) which will be level 10. When the event starts, I will unlock the area. There will be about 20 NPC there. X amount of those NPC will have drops. Winner 1-5. It will be a bind on pickup level 1 hidden item.
You must equip this and send me a message.
In the order I receive the messages I will tell you if you've won.

( I will also include 1 NPC that has a Utility Item. Every player may receive this Reward.
Message me if you are wearing it! )

ONE prize per player. If you find a Winner 3 item, and want to try for a Winner 1, don't message me, and don't put the item on. This forum will be updated with the winners.

This event will most likely be held on January 1st, and span the month.
Depending on the chances of obtaining said items. I will run tests or something
.

*THIS IS ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE UNTIL THE EVENT IS UNDERWAY*


Prizes are as follows.
(Be aware I must log into your account to award you PP. Change your pa**word beforehand )


Winner 1: 800 Points
-
Winner 2: 500 Points
--
Winner 3: 300 Points
-
Winner 4: 200 Points
--
Winner 5: 150 points

Very good idea (smiley)

So this is sorta on the same premises -

Create a special map (being they are free to make) and place 10 npcs on the map.

Equip only 5 of them with the misc winner item and select this option -
Bind Type — specify whether this item may be traded or sold between players.
  • On Pickup — an item is player-bound as soon as the player acquires it.


That way it cant be traded. Here is what it should look like - (You need to make an actual hidden item so that when they get it it can be equipped). Also you need to make 5 different prize names

Winner 1, Winner 2, Winner 3, Winner 4, Winner 5

Advanced Details
UNIQUE ID #630 MIN LEVEL 1
SLOT Hidden QUALITY Common
BIND TYPE On pickup OFFICIAL No
ACTIVATION N/A LIFESPAN N/A
MAKE COST 25.00 SPAWN COST 11,385 Cr
TYPE Generic/Generic
DATE CREATED December 22, 2011, 8:58 am

Also for prizes I do like the idea that you are willing to give them something to shoot for....

(Winner 1) So 1st place Advanced PP (Make sure ya make the drop rate on that lower seeing that is the best one to get.)

(Winner 2) 2nd Place - Basic PP

(Winner 3) 3rd Place 500 points

(Winner 4) 4th place 300 points

(Winner 5) 5th Place 100 Points

You want the drop rates to increase as the prizes get smaller.


Also you wont be able to control the amount that is dropped so it will have to be whoever notifies you first....they have to have the item equipped to win and must notify you. Only 1 winner per place -

and the contest keeps going until all the spots are filled.

I would rather just use a section of my map and fill it with 10 NPC then, so I'm not wasting points or creating a map that will never be used.

I can just place these in my level 80 area.

But let me get this straight... 10 NPC, only 5 have an item. I need to make 5 different items, each one says Winner X. When someone gets an item, they equip it and tell me. If the place was already taken, I tell them sorry, the place is taken?


Also, the point is that the NPC will end up dying, this is true. But only 10 NPC with 5 prizes I feel is too little. I can change my entire level 80 area, and place maybe 10-15 prizes on those. The NPC will still die, but there is more chances for winners in a sense.

Perhaps CK can implement something that allows gifting of PP so that you won't have to log into people's accounts. Might be something he should add anyway, unless it's currently possible to do so.

Yeah I've mentioned it before, and Meph probably has also. This would be particularly handy for this event (smiley)
