Announcing The 12 days of Christmas Over the Rogue Isles!

It's that time of year again, when jolly Ole Saint Nick checks out his naughty and nice list. Well, this year, frankly, the villains of the Rogue Isles haven't been been anywhere near evil enough. Rumor has it, some of them have even been hanging out in Cimerora and the Rikti War Zone trying to save the world! What good is a naughty and nice list if everyone is off being good!?! This can't be allowed to continue!


Therefore, Saint Nick has sent his least favorite elf, the Holiday Helper, to the Rogue Isles armed with 2 billion infamy in incentives to get the Rogue Isles back to some semblance of naughtiness. So, starting December 14 and over the next 12 days, there will be a mystery elf running around CoV looking to give his fellow Protectorite Villains some proper motivation *cough infamy cough*.


However, this isn't going to be some glorified costume contest, oh no, that would be too easy. (However an impromptu come-find-me contest in Cap or Mercy wouldn't be that bad an idea.). Nope, you'll have to invite a particular mystery lowbie character to team with you. Since he'll only be around for a month, he has no interest in being power leveled, he wants to play the game and at least contribute a bit, whether it be sidekicked up or a team of his level.


Some Rules:

  • The character will have his LFG flag up, so don't bother spamming people already on teams, or who just want to solo.
  • Ill join your team, and after a couple of missions, will offer everyone on the team a 50 million infamy prize.
  • I'll keep a list of the globals that I award the infamy to, in an attempt to not have repeats (at least at the start).
  • This contest will run for 12 days or until the 2 billion runs out. However if it goes well there is no reason the prize kitty and/or the number of days can't be increased.
  • The account giving out the infamy will be brand new, and I will switch characters occasionally.

Wow, this does not sound evil at all! Unless it's a trick and the Holiday helper is going to rob the villains of the Rogue Isles!

Rubbish, great event, HS!

This is a great idea, sounds fun, and imbodies the things I like most about playing this game, not the least of which is having fun and lending others a hand (when and if you are able). Bravo.

If you take time to help others, you help yourself grow.
If you take time to help yourself, you realize how far you have to go.

I have the sneaking feeling that this is a ploy by non other than the Trickster. Be wary all...



Great Idea BTW

Yeah it's a cool idea and encourages more teaming. Since it's redside it even more so encourages it.

Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. Despite having the lfg flag up for about 12 hours in game, and 8 of those with the search comment "Invite me to your team and I'll give you 50 million", I only got 1 team invite -- literally right after I decided to pull the plug on the whole contest.

I did, however give out 800 million in "Find me" contests.

So, to the people who got some infamy, congratulations, and I hope you enjoy it.

I'm sorry to hear that. Though I'm sure everyone that was villain side was running Winter Realm Raids, and the like.

Sounds to me that some people where just not into teaming on red side, which is a real shame. Even if people were doing the wl raid sounds to me like a better reason to team up, get some candy canes a some infamy.
