Here's a breakdown of the things we have on offer during the evening =

6pm - Start (Atlas Park).

6:30pm - Costume Competition under Atlas Statue (fancy xmas dress).

7:30pm - Scavenger Hunt starting at Prometheus Park dot (on bridge).

9pm - Arena battles in Galaxy Arena (Emerald section). EG: teams of Santas taking on Helper Elves.

11-midnight - Massive dance party on top of Atlas City Hall.


Music all during the event courtesy of The Redeemed Radio: playing a selection of Rock, Pop and Xmas tunes (http://radio.theredeemed.co.uk:9452/listen.pls).

TO TAKE PART IN COSTUME COMP/SCAVENGER HUNT/ARENA BATTLE MUST BE IN XMAS FANCY DRESS.

Prizes will be in the form of special Forum titles courtesy of Bridger and Rockjaw, and influence.

Hope to see you there. It'll be a blast.

If you can make it on the character creation screen then by all means create a reindeer.

Basically there will be a few named people hiding around Atlas. From the start you will be given a clue to the next character's location. On some you will also be given a task or riddle to solve to be able to get the next characters location.

Sounds like fun Rocker, I'll bee there if I can and I'd offer to help out as well.
But I've got no idea if I'll be able to make it, yes my holiday plans are that vague atm.

It will be a mix of 1-on-1s for the higher level characters and team battles... but for most who will probably roll a new lvl 1 or 2 it will be team based (eg: santa vs. elves etc).

No problems with the changing characters between events... aslong as I know your forum name if you win.

So we can use existing chars for the arena battles?

If you want to... with this new xmas pressie of a free costume change you don't have to use influence changing an existing character's costume.

Just a word of warning WoW is a pain in the neck to update and patch no way near as good as we have it here on CoH because quite frankly it just aint as good lol

Thanks to everyone who turned up to the event plus my great helpers (Polaxis, Babel, Paragon Starlet, Ravenshield, Docbot, Electrify and Kid Hellfire).

I think it was a brilliant success and hope you all had a fun time.

Will try and post the details of tonight events but am a bit knackered at the moment, so will be done tomorrow.
