The One About The Talking Sheep

I think I just met the love of my life.

Meet my new best friend, The Talking Sheep...

"I'm a talking sheep. Is this the first time you've encountered a talking sheep like me?"

Well... at least that's what you guys will see if you attempt to talk to him.

Me and the other [GM]s, however, have a different level of conversation with this harmless looking sheep...

If you haven't figured it out by now, this is an Event Zone. How it works is that the [GM]s will create an 'Event Zone Warp Gate' that allows players to port into the Event Zone Map.

Other than the typical boss summon type events, this Event Zone has some pretty cool events like Quiz Mode (True/False) and treasure chest summons. The event type that I am highly anticipating to organizing together with the [GM]s is something called 'Summon Race Track', where a race track will appear and races can be set for 1, 2 or 3 rounds.

The race track can even be set to Easy, Medium or Difficult. Difficult races include obstacles like 'Knockback' that will occur to all racers every few seconds!

Previously, it had extremely difficult conducting events since there were no such automated GM tools that enabled smooth implementation of events. Everything had been done manually and even so, IMC had placed a strict ban upon us over the past few months in regard to summoning high level raid bosses since they felt that it would cause game imbalance. But with this awesome new feature, there really is a lot to look forward to in V2.9! :D

I just finished a meeting with the [GM]s this morning to put together the in-game event calendar for the next 3 months, so stay tuned for more details! Feel free to leave comments to this entry if you have some awesome ideas in regard to in-game events.
