Tunnel Nightmare Reloaded

The Rakghoul event is back. A great reason for an other nightmare in the tunnels.

How will it work?

We will start with two open ops groups - one on the imperial and one on the republic side - everybody who likes to participate can join those with /join Nameoftheopsleader.

When the ops groups are formed both groups will meet in the middle of the tunnel system and start to fight.
Most likely one of the groups will be stronger so if you have characters on both sides it would be awesome if you switch sides to make sure that the battle stays balanced.

The names of the ops leaders will be announced here at friday.

How to take part in the cold war

The cold war will take place in the bonus area of Hoth. Imperial players will gather at the Jagged Plains Imperial Outpost, while the Republic ones meet at the Jagged Plains Imperial Outpost. 

The teamspeak will be again Luddotts.

More Tunnel Pictures

Adexi, Guildleader of Republic took some pictures of the Rakghoul pvp event as well.

Tunnels of Love?

As at the event on Oricon there were more people participating at the tunnel event than expected. We had at the peak time around 60 people fighting against each other and a very messy teamspeak channel
(If the event had been called "Tunnels of Love" as I planed it for some time there might have been more).
Hardly any innocent questers got harmed.
The event started with the republic being slightly stronger than the empire. But it only took a few moments until the empire managed to strike back. Just to be overpowered by the Republic at the end - this was mainly caused by many imperial players leaving.
The fights lasted for about 2.5 hours with the republic sneaking into the imperial base at the end.

Many thanks to everybody who took part and helped to promote the event. Here some screenshots. If you took some yourself feel free to link them in the comments or to send them to me. I will happily publish them here. Also check out the ones Zyera from the guild New OutRiders took: Zyera's Blog

The next open world pvp event I will host will take place on Hoth at 6th September.

But here the screenshots:

Today in the Tunnels ...

To allow each other to find their fellow fighters there will be two open ops group running. One on imperial and one on republic side. It is possible to join those with /join Caidith (Republic Side) and /join Trully (Empire). It is recommended to join those Ops groups before entering the tunnels as everybody will be in the same instance on that way. The ops group will start forming about 10 minutes before the start of the event.  We will be using Luddotts teamspeak again.

Ops groups: 
Republic: /join Caidith
Empire: /join Trully

Date: August 9nd 4 PM EST
Location: Rakghoul Tunnels Tatooine

Yes this is how I play I know it is bad. I'm sorry. 

Tunnel Nightmare

The Rakghoul event is back and it is not enough to kill only the infected. To become an elite plague research defender it is needed to kill 100 players in the tunnel.
This event is meant to help to achieve this task.
If you plan on taking part sign up: Sign up form (it is not needed to sign up but appreciated)

As at the last event I am also looking for guilds who would like to support this event by putting it into their calendar.

What will happen at the battle at Saturday

With Saturday getting closer it is time for some more information on how the whole Oricon event will work.

To make it easier for everybody to find the other combatants, there will be a public (open) ops group on each side. After the groups form up they will start moving to the base of the other side and meet somewhere in the middle. This is when the fighting begins (and when everyone will need to flag for PvP).

To make all of this a bit more fun, Luddott was so kind to create a channel on his Teamspeak server for the event. We can all meet there. It is way more fun to actually hear the people who are just trying to kill you and it is a good chance to get to know the players against whom you normally fight in warzones. Joining teamspeak also allows a bit more coordination - especially when the groups are unbalanced, so people who have toons on both sides can switch if needed (and if they want to).

Last but not least - it is way better to become a scare bear when partying with the Party Jawa - so if you have one use it.

Ops Groups:
Republic:  /join Adexi
Empire:    /join Sillypants
