== Rithwic Attacked! (May 15, 2005) ==

A report from Mxlplkt mxl on TD, proud member of Nanny I's clan!!!

Last night I logged into TD. I was in the withered dungeon and some guy was going "lol lol" all alone in the top room. I said what's um...what's so funny? He said, look at my corpse, they are attacking Rithwic. I ID'd his corpse and it said, "blah blah blah, killed by banderling heirophant".... That was weird cuz I was in the Lugian dungeon.... Off 2 rith I go.... Along the river I found a small group of players and an LEO...and they were all saying, "Spawn a TM! Spawn BZ!!" and "Nah, he can only spawn non quest monsters." "Well spawn some eaters....or black breaths!!!!" So this LEO proceeds to bring a group of oblits. They die. Then a group of paradoxes. They die. Then a group of Viamonts and eaters, then a TM!!! In Rithwic!! This LEO was taking orders like a McDonalds employee, saying, "Well isn't it my job to make the game more fun?!" I was in awe as I WAS having the time of my life 4 sure.... Here I was in a starter town...killing all these bosses with a small group of players on a Sunday night late.... It was great, and the xp was fun too. Got like 12 mil in the fellow I was in. Got some keys. Then all of a sudden the LEO says, "well that's it. I need to go do this on another world now," and he spawns a huge group of oblits, some white rabbits and a few biakas. Then it was all over...and I never died once, thank goodness.... btw, the funny thing was the name of our fellowship was "CONTENT PLEASE."

Jothony of Eastham - SC reports:

Hi Maggie, Love your site. Grats on the new Jackcat Forums too. Sunday Night ( 5/15) on Solclaim we had a fantastic game event, orchestrated by +LeM Kyoshi. Rithwic was invaded. I missed the start, I believe it was Virindi in the first wave. When I arrived, wave after wave of Obliterators were swarming the brave defenders. We'd just barely finish off one wave and the next would spawn, 6 at a time. Woohooo. Death and mayhem ensued. After many heroic deaths and recoveries, we finally vanquished the invaders. Then we got the reward, and boy did we all Have a Cow!! +LeM Kyoshi sprinkled pack cows among the defenders. A Devilmouse cow, to be specific. (Kyoshi told us that Devilmouse was the original team lead artist when AC started.) An exact model of the cow in Eastham (and I suppose in all towns), right down to the map of Dereth on one side and of Marae Lassel on the other. I don't know if all pack cows have this, but each one is inscribed with a number by Devilmouse. Mine says "Cow, No. 31337" The best game event I've been to so far. Thanks to Turbine and to Kyoshi.
