4th February 2007 Sixth story posted Stage TWO now in operation; Black Box holders will have received some information regarding their behaviour!
New Rules: These items come into play from 2pm on Sunday 4th!
Okay - Stage 2? So the Black Box holders have black dragon scale armor gloves on? What does that mean?
Really? It means nothing has changed in regards to what they can do. They haven't got mystical powers... But it's obvious now that the boxes are doing 'something' to the people holding them.
The people with the boxes don't see the blackness around their hands; and for gameplay purposes, it's almost a magical effect - just visible everytime you look sideways at someone.
The Box Holders have a little more info on what will happen. But people should now realise that Mul's cries of 'all's well' isn't really holding on now.
Something going on then?
At 7:00pm on Sunday 4th, Muldran will be at the location referred to in
the sixth story as he recovers from his battle with Snaeval. From there, he's going to warn people about those with the boxes... and kick off some more trouble.
How do I get a box?
As with the rules above - over the dead body of someone else. Or, by persuading them they should part with them. If you can 'get through' to someone, try it. They may be amendable to you talking to them, if you're being reasonable - and if *they* still are reasonable. As to whether the box holders give up the boxes, that's up to them...
But remember - if you do try and destroy them at this stage, they're not truely destroyed... not until we've figured out someway to get rid of them...
PvP stuff?
Yes, if both parties are amenable to it! As with polite Rules of Engagement, it's a good idea to notify someone that you're going into battle with them. And the winner CAN take (or retain!) the Black box. They should also take the blackrock \ black dragon armour pieces that person has. (Hey, defeated person. Play fair, and hand the things over.)
