Eventfulness!

Here in Lenneth, many have known us for our Bitchin' events, and dedication to them. Not only do our events rock hard, but the whole Lenneth scene will leave your jaw dangling between your feet (More on that in a bit). First lets talk about events. One of the Lenneth favorites is the famous Fabre Dodge. In this event, players are placed in a small arena, skills are turned off, and the hunters (all players) have now become the hunted! Fabres slowly spawn over and over. Harmless right? Wrong! These fabres can not be killed, and randomly use deadly GrandCrosses, explode with great impact, or snap around quickly, using magnum break. Long story short, fabres are very dangerous, they just mindlessly walk around casting very dangerous small AoE skills, run for your life! Last person standing, wins. If it sounds easy, it's not. Just wait until later rouns when the sneaky fabres appear, the ones that cloak and use Meteor Assault, mwua ha ha ha!

Well, ever feel low on a few items? How about a looting event? We've got this neat way to give out many new and interesting items (like the camouflage potion), as well as a few rarer items, by doing looting events. This is basically an event in a map filled with poring type monsters, each carrying something special. They only take 1 damage at a time though, like plants, and skills are turned off. This means a lvl 1 novice can get the same out of this event as a lvl 99 lord knight. The only exception is that a very few of the monsters actually fight back, and hurt, but give a very nice reward in return.


Looting some nifty items during the Looting Event


That's only some of the many fun and innovative events. In addition, there are also many auto events, which occur on their own. One of the is the Evil Prontera event. Every hour, the server turns night for 30 minutes, during this time Kafra gets possessed, Evil Spirits, and Wandering Souls slowly start spawning in Prontera. You can help cleanse Prontera by killing these spirits, which will award you with Soul Points. After a while, the MVP, Death Ghost also appears in Prontera, but if you wish to get his rewards, you need to kill him quick! When the sun comes out, all the evil ghosts vanish back into their graves, and everything is returned to normal. The points you got from killing the ghosts can be used at the Soul Master, who resides in the graveyard behind Prontera church. He will exchange your Soul Points for various items. But beware, he is only around at night...

Ever wanted to kill an Mvp while being invincible? Lenneth lets you have that dream. We can at any time, turn a special mode on, on a map, that makes everyone that dies, instantly ressurect on the spot. And I mean instantly as in, you're casting a huge spell, some MVP hits you with 23,000 damage, you die and instantly get ressurected so fast your cast is still going! We like to turn this on in some special arena maps, where there's no where to run. It's just you and the MVP. So everyone can go into a crazy kamikazi mode, because there's no dying, just go nutts until the MVP begs for mercy.

Few dudes killing Pori Pori with AutoRessurect enabled in the Event Arena

Tired of missing out on events, from logging on 1 minute late? No problem. On Lenneth, if there is an event in progress, it will tell you when you log in, as well as the event name. It will also let you know when ever using a Kafra. But I know what you're thinking, "But how will I get to the event?" No problem! To get to the event, simply talk to a kafra, select warps, and there will be an option to warp to the current event in progress. Simply click it, and Poof! There you are.

Quick update
Hey everyone, got back from Tasmania last night, was good. Met up with Zandor and Tank_x hehe. You may have noticed the progress has not changed much, that's because I've been very busy traveling back and forth between areas for certain things. On monday, Kittie and I are going to be on a 20 hour flight to Canada (We're currently in Australia), so I'll finally have PLENTY of time to get tons of work done (on the plane). The next few days will be filled with saying our goodbyes and packing. So once we're back in Canada, the server can get back on it's feet, and start rollin' again. Good news is I got my wallet, turns out it was mailed to the wrong address, this means when we get back to Canada, I'm going to get a host for the server, which is a huge gap, and would allow me to finish making the website, control panel, forums, server, and anything else online-related. Another reason the progress bar hasn't changed much lately, is because I've mainly been adding new things with the time I've had, things that weren't planned, but just thought of recently.

One of these things is the Testing Room (name pending), where it would have one of every element monster (including Fire 1, Fire 2, Fire 3, Fire 4, Water 1, etc). Each monster will just sit there and do nothing, will have no stats, but 500,000 hp. There will also be one of each race, one with high def, one with high vit, one with high mdef, one that attacks and has high atk, etc. It's basically a room to test your gear and skills on all the monster types and elements. Testing it on the demi-human monsters is also a very nice way to test things for PvP.

Hehe sorry guys, been mainly busy with the big move to Canada. I can assure you that once we get to Canada and get all settled down, it won't be too long until the server is up. All that's really left is the website, forums, and a few tiny additions to the server.
