The hobgoblin slaves and are tired of being humiliated. Some of them became more organised and trained some troops in the waterworks to fight back their oppressors. The players had to eradicate the menace!

Date/Time: This event was held on all five servers the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th October 2006.
Onatar: 10th October, 19:00 GMT
Dorn: 11th October, 19:00 GMT
Aureon: 12th October, 19:00 GMT
Boldrei: 13th October, 19:00 GMT
Lyrandar: 14th October, 19:00 GMT

This was a small fighting event for players ranging from level 1 to 5. Players fought waves of Hobgoblins, Ogres then finally the Hobgoblin Chief!

Reward was 200 experience points per level of the player (Maximum 1000 at level 5). Players over level 5 was not rewarded.

Issues:
- On Onatar, the server crashed because of the high number of monsters created. The fight was too easy and too short as well. The monsters encounter have been altered on following servers and gave us much better performance overall.
- On Aureon, the Captain Merwin had some internet issues, Chief Merwin, Captain Merwin’s brother, came to help with the rewards.
- On Lyrandar, there was high attendance and lag (as usual for this server). Giving the rewards was very long and some players left before they got it.
- Giving experience to each participant one at the time is very long process on all servers. We are looking for a better way to reward large number of players.

Attendance: The event was popular on all servers. There was a lot of good feedback for a small event.
Onatar: 35-45
Dorn: 30-40
Aureon: 40-50
Boldrei: 30-40
Lyrandar: 50-60

GM Role:
+Guard Kroll and Captain Merwin was played by Khandar & Sen.
The vile +Hobgolbin was played by me (+Zynx).

We had many good comments in game, overall the players really appreciated this event. Only on Lyrandar we got a bit of bad feedback. (mostly about the long time it took to give all xp rewards)

Thank you all and I hope to see you on our next event!

I attended on Lyrandar and had a great time. I know some people were complaing about lag but some of that was down to connection speed as I had very few peformance issues.

I also learnt a valuable lesson! Don't attack and Ogre in melee combat if your a lvl 4 Sorc..... If only I could have used some spells!!!!
