Noob’s in Hell Event: Sponsored by: This event is open to both new and veteran players. The prizes are pretty amazing for both and this will be quite a challenge. I will be taking sign-ups and grouping players in teams of ten on a first come first served basis. The event will be run several times. At the time of the event the DM running the event will tell you how to log onto the Developement Server. You will be given enough xp to put you at 60th level. You will be given 20 million gp to go shopping and provided a rest ring with 10 charges. Casters will be given the Epics they qualify for once they have leveled up. You must level and gear your character in 1 hour flat this will be timed. You are allowed to scavenge for set loot in that 1 hour period. I highly recommend that you have an open subrace build picked out and be ready to level it up quick, get your spells set and get gear quick (Take a look at the stores and know what you will need). The DM will then open the portal to Tia for you. It is your mission to defeat Tiamat or die trying! Please note that you will not be allowed to keep the characters, gold or anything from the Dev server. The team to get the farthest will win the grand prize though each group will receive a loot split from the event on a normal server that they will be allowed to keep. Should more than 1 team complete the event then the team with the fastest time will be declared the winner and receive the grand prize (I hear it’s quite nice!) (WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU HAVE A DATE & TIME THAT WORKS BEST AND IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A CERTAIN CLASS, IF I AM MISSING CORES I WILL ASSIGN THOSE WHO ARE FLEXABLE TO FILL CORE CLASSES) Event Dates and Times (August 19th-21st)(2 slots 1:00pm and 8:00pm east coast US time): Friday August 19th (Two Slots) EU Slot 1:00pm east coast US Time (New York) or 5:00pm UTC (DM Storm)Shak Digs Arek Xiayu Rump Jean SG Tank Tank Tank US Prime Slot 8:00pm east coast US Time 12:00pm UTC(New York) (DM Storm)Bard Baz Arcane Lee Druid Star Cleric Kleb Turner Tank Johnny Staffy Tank Max Tank Bad Ranger Tank Naeb Tank Rock Tank Gypsie Saturday August 20th (Two Slots) EU Slot 1:00pm east coast US Time (New York) 5:00pm UTC (DM Mighty Khan)Bard Lan Arcane Druid Nahorl Cleric Winlock Tank Blazing Tank Yojimbo Tank Darc Tank Tank Tank * note just placed you guys but classes you can pick as you choose.

DMs If you would like to help run this event please post here and I will add you as the DM for the event. I would love to get as much DM help as possible to give Storm some breathing room.
Thank you in advance,
Bad

If you are a new player I suggest reading this to help you get a jump start for this event. First thing you should figure out is what you want to play for the event, I recommend having a build printed out and ready to level up as soon as you get your xp: highergroundpoa.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=openbuildOnce you have your build try to take some time to look around the stores in town, and the ranger in the grove. Put together a shopping list of what you will want from each store. This way you will be able to level, shop and be ready to get a taste of what the hells are like. I will add more info to this when I have a bit more time. Looking forward to seeing everyone in hell! Bad

Now please dont tell me that all the spawns are elites? I'm trying to form a group for friday's EU time, but will need a few days to hear from people. Also, how about add a rule that splashing for paladin/bg less than 4 levels would be banned, so people cant cheese the saves Edit: Is it possible to also get free set of survival rings on beginning?

Awesome Fallen, it will be a 0 demi so unless the DM is particularly merciless I would imagine paras would be pretty rare. Given that no one will have immunity rings and be on open subbie etc in store bought rags etc, I can live with a bit of cheese ( The mice need something Will be looking for your post. Bad

Barring problems between now and then, this looks interesting enough for me to do. Will there be any rules against distributing loot found during the run?
In any case, I can run on any of these days/times, and can tank or play any core except druid (can possibly druid if battledruid is acceptable). I would only need to know what I'm needed on a day or 2 in advance to plan the build.

Hey Arek, glad you want to do this it should be lots of fun.
I think smart parties will let the player that can best use the item just grab it while running tia. Or they may choose to roll for it (Their Call).
Also very well prepared players will have their build lvled and be geared in 30 min or so, thus leaving them time to scavange.
P.S. I just put you into aug 19th slot EU 1:00pm east, I know Fallen is working on a party for that slot. So you may want to PM him to coordinate what he will need.

I have a question about character creation. For classes that need to acquire class objects / visit special places, will the items / credit for the visit be provided? In particular, I wonder about assassins, shadow dancers, and RDDs.

Good question, Special classes will need to level very fast and run like the wind to pick those up.
I have Tested Sin, Ranger and HS are all doeable, RDD dicey, and SD would be a real pain.
Since no survival rings will be provided, rangers will need to be certain races to get their secret (But I did it in under 10 min and picked up some nice items for other party members on the way.)
I also suggest making a shopping list and knowing where to buy the stuff you need.
Also take a bit of time to explore areas that can be gotten to quickly so you know what you can dash and grab that would be quite useful.(I learned quite a bit from doing this, there are some real surprises out there)
