The EU Events Thread

the last two posts gave me an idea.....
tf races between 2 (or more) servers

Hi all.

I like the initiative and I hope to see a good number of events that may interest most of the playerbase.

Last year I arranged some games for my SG and the following game pleasantly surprised everyone (even the pvp-haters). Perhaps it's something that you might consider arranging on a larger scale on any of the EU servers (or test server).

I just copy and paste my challenge from last year below. Feel free to adapt the game to match your needs and come up with new rules and prizes.....
I saw it as a nice event for all and a chance for the hardcore PvP'ers (non-SG members) to have a go at unsuspecting victims ;P

I received donations from other players for prizes and even GhostRaptor was willing to check for contributions from NCsoft.

-------------------------------
- Hide and seek:
On Tuesday 3-March we will gather between 8-8.30PM and then converge to the PvP zone once we know the number of hero/villain playertoons.

The chosen PvP zone is WARBURG. Everyone can attack everyone else in here!!! Heroes can attack heroes and villains can annoy villains as well.

Everyone will bring his/her chosen toon to the zone.
We will all meet at a designated point in the zone (and shout some nice insults at eachother). Here I will show you my stalker toon and then I will cloak so that you can check if you need yellow insps to see my toon or not and how close you need to be to be able to see me.
After testing is over I will give you all time to fill up your inspirations. When all have returned to the designated spot I will go forth and hide.
When I am at my hiding place then I will broadcast the start of the game on the Intrepid channel and then all bets are off.


- First one to find me and hit me wins...simple. (should a non SG/VG player find it necessary to kill me at an early stage of the game then the Referees will pause the game until I have hidden again after returning from the hospital. Should I be killed at a later stage in the game then I will remain lying on the floor to await the discovery by one of our own).
- I would kindly ask that whoever finds me does not betray the location to the others as there will be prizes for the first two runnerups!!!
- Every participant is free to choose his/her hero/villain toon that you expect to have the best chance of finding my stalker (and surviving all the pvp nuts that will attack you....*hehe*).
- Should people run out of yellows before the end of the game then it is up to that player to get new yellows as soon as possible....there is no break in the game
- I will NOT hide in the main base or hospital!!!!
- You are free to kill your opponents (hey...it's an AnnaPuna event)

Should after 5 minutes the target still not be found then then I will broadcast a hint on the INTREPID Channel. The hints will limit the area that you need to search. A possible example could be:
- 5 minute hint: Left half of the map
- 10 minute hint: Upper left half of the map.
- 15 minute.....: I will deactive my hiding power.
By then I would expect to have been found by someone.

Feel free to visit Warburg in the days to come to familiarize yourself with the surroundings!!!! There are a LOT of special entrances that are not that obvious on first sight (e.g. the underground access to the WEB).
Certain areas will also have a higher concentration of mobs that can really annoy you!!!
Be aware of the powers that are available to your toon as your lvl will be capped!!!

1st Prize: 20M + PPD suit code.
2nd Prize: 10 Million + Recipe
3rd Prize: 5 Million

Would there be much interest in running a Robot Rampage event some time in the future on Defiant ?

These used to be run regularly a year or so ago, but I've not seen one in a while.

The above link contains details from a previous run of the event, but the basic idea is that we get as many Kronos Class Titans in a central location (Kings Row usually) as possible, and have as many folks on site to take them down.

It's good fun, and a great community event. It's not restricted by archetype, or even level - although it is a blueside event (although I guess Rogues can take part if they want).

So, any interest ? Would EERC be interested in organising something ?

Heh, great minds an' all that eh ?

I'll keep an eye out for this. Heck, I might even go and re-run Crimson's arc now just to be ready...

Heads up folks, we're running another big money costume contest on Union this Saturday from 8pm.

If you fancy your chances at winning, the details are all here:

Good luck and we hope to see you there!

Hey there.

Seems I am the newest member of the EERC.

Being a CoH player since Oct'07 (so I am the newb here compared to the others )

Running mostly (and so far almost exclusively) at Zukunft

Leader (and atm the only active member) of the Justice Crusaders

I initiated a pretty long running series of MoSTFs, open4all with the goal to get as much players the badge as we could. And I guess we were pretty successful.

Also, a loooooooong time ago I started a giant monster hunting tour at Zukunft, also open4all.... Repeated it several times
This can be done pretty spontaneous (2-3 Vets for lead are enough) and was always pretty popular especially among new players.

How about something like this at Defiant/Union? Since EERC targets especially new players, this can be kind of a nice experience for new guys: large party, fast and successful fights against impressive mobs and an guided tour around the city.

1 Billion Inf costume contest update:

In short, postponed till next week, the 19th. Thanks for all that came and we look forward to seeing you next week.

So ...

What happens when the servers merge?

You become the ERC?

No cossie codes been given out for a while.

Any plans?

We've got a billion inf giveaway on Union this saturday. Pocket D 8pm. The theme is "Spring!" (make of that what you will... high tensile metal coils, seasons, pressurised water.... you decide.

After that we've got a few events lined up which will definitely include cossie codes and more, but that's for the next few weeks

Things seem to have been a bit quiet on the EERC front lately (from what I've seen anyway).

Is the group still running ? - or am I just playing at different times ?*

Had some great fun earlier in the year with some of the EERC initiatives, but I haven't seen much activity lately. Is everyone off feeding their alt-itis on the former US servers ?

*or perhaps I'm being shunned for my troller's agro stealing AoE holds 8-p

Good show!

Happy to get more involved in organising stuff as well if needed.
