Greetings Survivors!

This Saturday, (Starting @)8PM GMT Xsyon invites you to take part in the Founder's Isle House of Horrors!

Rumour has it that this once-resplendent mansion was home to a rich and powerful family.

As their wealth grew, so too did their suspicion of the outside world until one day,
crazed with paranoia, the residents sealed themselves inside with their precious items,
and were never seen again.
As days turned to weeks, strange menacing noises could be heard echoing
inside the heavy mason walls. Yet no-one dared to approach.

Much time has passed, and any hope that the family might have survived has since dwindled.

Now Xsyon is seeking brave adventurers to gain entry to the infamous house, to determine what
has become of the previous residents and to salavge what remains of the family's possessions.

-------------

House of Horrors is an event for 1 or 2 players (2 recommended for newer players).

You will have 3 minutes to enter the house and grab as many useful or valuable items as you can.
Anything you recover, you may keep as your reward. Once your time is up, you will be teleported
back outside the house, assuming you survived...

If you exit the house, or you are killed during the 3 minutes, you will not be allowed to re-enter.

You will need to ensure you are suitably armed and equipped for PvE combat, and have a
backpack or other storage container.

Unlike other events, we will NOT be summoning all participants at the beginning of the event.
Instead, once the event is opened, we will contact all interested participants with an approximate
time, and summon you only when it is your turn. This is to avoid players needing to wait
around whilst we reset the house.

How long will this event be going?

An awesome idea you guys came up with there!

We'll try to run the event until everyone who wants to has had a turn (or until we pass out!).

Once the event opens, we'll issue 10min time-slots to everyone who wants to participate, and try our best to stick to these, but obviously this is the first time we've run this event so this may drift a little.

If you intend to enter as a 2 person team, you might want to sort that out before hand.

Just to be clear, we only intend to teleport participants to the event (once it's their turn) and not spectators. The event all takes place inside the House of Horrors, so there really won't be anything to watch from outside.

However, we may record or even stream the event from inside, if we can set this up in time. We'll announce the details if and when we do.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks MrDDT, it was actually my first attempt at streaming, so I need to fiddle with settings etc and refine my technique somewhat, but we thought it was worth having a go and trying to do this in future. I literally just got the software to do it 30 mins before the event, so was very novice. I have learned somethings, perhaps next time to do it in short bursts of action and announce when we are turning on/off the stream, so not so much dead space when we are resettiing the challenge etc.
We thought it would allow people to spectate and still be able to continue crafting etc if they are not actually taking part in an event.

Was any of the footage recorded? I was not aware of there being a live stream, otherwise I would have definitely watched it.

Great event by the way! Awesome fun and very nice prizes. It was worth getting up after only 2 hours sleep to play lol.
