Scavenger hunt! Official IFN Announcement

wow mate, + rep that is most generous of you. Myself and I know i speak for the new players here as well thank you for that. This event is quickly becoming one of my all time favorites. People like yourselves taking the initiative and getting involved to help out the players that need it most are what is making this planet so much better. The community here is unlike any other =) and im proud to call myself an Arkadian as well.

And again for the announcement people love to hear.

Day 8: Weapon Weapons Everywhere.

Todays Scavenger Hunt CURRENTLY UNDERWAY!!!, and will consist of all weapons, lots and lots of weapons.

Headquarters has reported the spotting of many weapons left over from the lost cargo, these weapons are crucial to arkadian defense and they urge all colonist to find these weapons. These weapons in the hands of the oratan is a threat Headquarters wishes to avoid. SO FIND THOSE WEAPONS!!!!!

DAY 8!!! Weapons Weapons Everywhere!!!

 

Very generous indeed. Good luck for all who are involved in the scavenger hunt. Have fun!

 

Nice +rep , Bjorn can you write here when you drop items? ty

 

Very nice initiative, Few Scars, errr General Longstaff!
(This is what I love so much about Arkadia's community. I see sharing and kindness vs. greed and egoism all over this lovely planet. *thumbs up*!)
Hurry up, you novice miners, I just scouted the area wanting to find some hides of the new Osteloks (do they even drop any?)and saw at least two sets of fine mining equipment on the way. I'm sure still lots more to find for you.

 

Day 9: SCAVENGER HUNT IS UNDERWAY


Reports have come in from high command on numerous crates that were thought to have vanished in the ocean have washed up on shore, FIND THESE Weapons before the Oratan do!!!

If you find the crates, please be generous and dont take all the weapons, leave some for your fellow arkadians.

Reports also indicate the sudden location of many weapons scattered around Celeste Harbour. AGAIN LETS NOT ALLOW THE ORATAN A VICTORY!!!

 

hmm...2 houres of searching
drove the beaches,
walked the beaches,
checked islands
...and found shit.

no, literally, only thing i found was dung.

 

yea, we had an avatar kinda ruin it for people, confronted him, he apologized, all somewhat ok, but he did kinda ruin the story and fun of Day 9 =/

ill know now to never do that again, someone is always bound to get greedy and ruin it for everyone else....ah well, look forward to day 10. =) and ll be changing up the time again

 

thought so

nevertheless thanks to all involved for the event :hail:
since i have no rep power i save me the clicks but consider you all given vast amounts good karma

 

Thats the spirit!! Great job, Raven!

 

DAY 10: SCAVENGER HUNT

UNDERWAY!

Todays day is later than usual to give more a chance to find soemthing,

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

 

simple Plea to all those players out there.

this is designed as a new player event, please if you don't NEED the item, leave it for new players. And if you do find items, please try and be considerate to others, as there are only a certain number of items, and the variety is different everyday. Try not to hog the items.

Lots of new players are getting frustrated because they are not finding anything due to slightly better players with vehicles hogging the items. I know its a free for all event, and all i can ask is please be considerate and not greedy.

several players in several days in a row have found over half the items and claimed them all due to finding them, specially with vehicles. As i said, if you DONT need an item, please dont take it, if you find a Gyro, use it till its gone, then look again, this IS a 30day event. too many people are hoarding these items when they dont need them.

so again i ask the community to be righteous and be considerate of your fellow new players. Greed is not the answer, Compassion is, and compassion will bring you a long way, this event is designed to lift up the new player a bit and provide a boost to create future longterm Entropians.

WELCOME TO DAY 12!!! CAN YOU PICTURE THIS!!!!

 

mmm... it's not my business but it's better not to advertise the beginning of this events like you did on the day 11 and not to post screenshots.

newcomers can't outrun vehicles and VTOLs, and I bet my VSE Mk 1, all your items are gone by now.

... or maybe it'd be better to drop certain random amount of bullets on the ground and then give items to those who give you the ammo, location info plus good old agi below 30 check.

 

Great Job Raven! ..I hope older players respect your wishes and not get greedy. Lets let the new kids on the block enjoy themselves and fall in love with the GAME!!....

 

sorry for the off topic but I recalled an event where newcomers with agi <30 run from old PA to another TP thru some spawns and there were some prizes for those who came first, that was fun

 

That was The March on Troy!!!!!! my greatest event hehe also probably one of the biggest new player event in history of Entropia Universe (Well only first one can claim that)

Back back on topic, Day 16-24 will all go unadvertised, i will post each day to bump the threat, however no official start time will be given!!! have to look for them, will be constant supply on the ground

 

ok Day 13 till go on, however, i will start earlier on the low end advertising from now on, i will not post starts, clues, etc here UNLESS its necessary for that day. i WILL bump the thread daily, and direct players to the thread, this event has gotten outta hand, and im tired of explaining to new players why people with vehicles are not letting them find anything.

I have pleaded with the general public too many times and its gone unanswered, im sorry but this is only way left to guarantee fair event, i want to help new players, not greedy players creating second avas, and people dressing as new players for a quick free buck.

i didn't want to do this, but it seems i have no other choice, so expect bumps daily, but no more advertised start times. I will drop items through the day, every day. and will advertise only ingame to new players, i will advise Advisers to do the same, thanks for all your support guys, was hoping to make this fun event but many have ruined it for others. Day 13 starts today, so no tricks no gimmicks, NOTHING is dropped in water, or areas not accessible by foot, i do tend to avoid top of buildings on most cases. and event area remains the same.

If you have questions ill be at Celeste Quarry. Happy Hunting!

 

So sorry this has turned into a trial. Really appreciate the effort you have made.
