Hi,

Doesn't take much number crunching to show that the free PK event from Halloween was a huge success and deserves repeating! So the Cursed Warrior will be returning to Edgeville.

This first free PK weekend (Nov 24-26) will provide: free sets and food (f2p and p2p).

Staff has agreed that we will now run free PKing (free sets) the third weekend of every month, Friday thru Sunday. The PK gear (cursed rune) will always disappear the following Monday and have zero value.

Now's your chance to see what all the hype was about if you missed Halloween, or just want to PK without risk!

This won't negatively affect the economy because the cursed rune will always get wiped on Monday. We are priming the pump for PK, so to speak.

Food, Pots, Casts: These will not always be free during free PK weekend but will be on rotation.

Should be 1 or 2 days every 3 weeks. Whole weekend is too much imo

Thanks for adding talisman.

Also can't see the point in having free rune and food but have to pay for casts. Costs 120k per inventory of 100 casts to PK items which hold no base value, that's a pretty expensive way to practice getting into PKing and a pretty expensive way to PK for even established PKers. It makes using a mage, hybrid or flat's not even viable really. I personally don't plan on PKing for 3 days straight burning through 100k in runes per trip just to PK an ammy and some leather gloves and boots and I'm probably not the only one who feels the same way. I was expecting it to be like last time

This is a step in the right direction but I think we should perhaps reconsider what's free and what isn't

100% agree.  Make it all free or revert it back to normal.

We could do just 2 days a month and make everything (sets, casts, food, and pots) free but only usable in wilderness. One day a week could work too.

It's a recurring thing so we will have plenty of time to refine this.

People are still walking with the armors and weapons on even though its 27.11 already? I thought it ended yesterday.

2 solid days in a row a month sounds great I'd much prefer that than 1 day a week. By all means go ahead and rotate food and pots being allowed, there's enough of both in-game they need to be used but I think overall the more you limit what is free and what isn't the less people will take advantage of the event. The talisman should always be free, even with the loot buffs and store's holding more runes it's just near on impossible to get runes for a decent price making it not viable to go out and PK with any magic based characters if talismans weren't allowed because the cost is just too great

An admin / head mod command would be nice too that can turn it on and off. The event is still running now and I assume we have to wait for n0m and only n0m to be around to turn it off

The best thing possible would be, just keep all equipment tab on death, forget free armor, just make us not loose anything on death.

1. Re dont have to regear anything!!!!
2. Addy, mith etc accounts keep their armor too(not just rune accs).

Would be better all round


Some kind words from a fan
