Update 3.02
Greetings, OH Members:
It makes me happy to see XP pour in from doing activities for the tournament, and seeing the chat open at various times of the day, you all did much better than the last tournament we held so good job! We've got all sorts of exciting things going on right now, our new Missions Mod has put up Wanted / Target posters which allows you to do specific missions alone. Wanted missions are for those involved with the OH Company, and Target posters are for characters that are more criminally inclined. It's an awesome addition to our game!
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you have weekly rolls that give you gold, make sure those are mailed in as well!
RIBBON ACHIEVEMENTS
Rhyldrin (iyieldtonone) has achieved the Ribbon of Talent for winning TEN sparring matches!
He earns 1 Reputation, 15XP, and 2,500gp. He also receives this beautiful ribbon badge on the Gallery!
WANDERING TOURNAMENT
Our Combat Moderator is hosting a TOURNAMENT! That's right, from Jan 6-Jan 12, you can earn some great prizes by participating in various activities that OH offers including polar bear jousting, bard shows, arcane duels, ice skating races - all the normal activities with a snow/ice flavor! And you can do them on your own time. If you'd like the email with all the rules, please get in touch with (iyieldtonone).
Tournament ends at 11:59pm (est) TONIGHT! You've got about another hour!
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Our challenge for this week means you are going to be attending or running a mission! You don't have to be a fancy DM to run a mission, anyone can do it, we do all the work for you! Take our baddies, play them with your friends, complete the mission and you'll not only receive normal mission rewards but a weekly challenge reward as well!
Your challenge this week is to complete either level of the "Collateral Corruption" missions.
One reward per player this week. You'll earn an extra 5XP & 1000gp! Send your mission to (ascendingaria) to be validated, then send the validation to (tesarikone) for the extra reward!
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have started a new incentive for new players and characters. All new characters at this time will start with 35XP, and 2000gp. This puts them at Topaz, allowing them to choose a profession as well as class. Be sure to let people know that there is an incentive going on right now when you talk to them!
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
WEB SITE TWEAKING
Please forgive us during this time if you can't find what you need on our message board. With the help of our Combat Mod, we are doing some work on the site so that when new people click to check us out they are not completely overwhelmed by our mass of threads on our message board. Instead they'll find a front page that is more like a formal web site, that allows them to find pertinent info without having to pour through all the other stuff. We are still tweaking a lot of things including the aesthetics.
We will also be using our Calendar system more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.
If you are having trouble finding the original forum, just click FORUM in the list at the top of the page, beneath our awesome new graphic!
