Wheel of Time MUD

Starting today, I'll be running an abbreviated version of the 104 Days of Summer Vacation promotion at the Wheel of Time MUD. Every day there will be something new or different announced for the day. It can be something that players have earned, it could be something that I'm tossing in for a day, it could be any kind of wild card. Each vacation item lasts 24 hours or until reboot, whichever happens first. Obviously there aren't 104 days left in summer vacation, so some days there may be only one vacation item, some days there might be multiples. Check each day to see what's going on, and come on in and play with us!

• July 5 - 3x for LS, earned as a quest reward last month. Have fun!
• July 6 - 2x for all sides. Get those levels up, you're gonna need them for the weekend!
• July 7 - Farmers across the world have noticed that their cows have gone mad! They are aggressive, they have bulked in size, they seem to be predatory, and they are mean cud-chewing creatures! Some report their cows are doing strange things like... breathing fire? Preposterous. But man, the steaks coming off them are really tasty... Also, raw meat and large slabs of meat seem to be extremely nutritional in value today. Could this be related?
• July 8 - 2x for Seanchan. What's going on over there on the west coast of Randland?
• July 9 - 2x for DS. Because they are dark. And lovely. And they are the troops of the Great Lord. That, and because they eat your face.
• July 10 - 2x for LS. You think I might be fattening you up for something? Wow. You see right through me! I admit it!
• July 11, July 12, July 13 - A storm of great power has rolled across an ancient forgotten battlefield, strikes of lightning arrowing to the ground to create mass destruction, the winds and rain wreaking havoc. In its wake something mysterious has been revealed, its true nature unknown.
• July 12, July 13 - The mysterious portal has allowed a highly skilled assassin of Seandar and his students to potentially breach the mainland, which is a threat to all Light-fearing people. In an effort to diffuse this threat, and knowing that sometimes it takes a criminal to catch a criminal, the itinerant magistrate has stopped for a few days in Tarendrelle to levy a little frontier justice of "an eye for an eye". Those who bring proof to the magistrate of the assassin's demise can ask for a pardon from Cairhien, Whitebridge, Baerlon, Illian, Mayene, Tremalking, Far Madding, or Tanchico. (Note: When asked about the pardon, only say the name of the place, nothing more, nothing less, or it won't work. I won't fix your mess for you if you make an error.)
• July 12 - Seanchan have 2x for winning a pk contest.
• July 14 - The Treesingers have been tending their groves with special care, and some of the oldest trees seem to be stronger.
• July 15 - Due to yesterday's offline time, the trees are still in place, as is 2x for 7 hours.
• July 16 - All the gray palfreys want to be like Bella from the books. Man, she was a badass horse. She never complained, and could be ridden for days without needing to stop.
• July 17 - 1 interesting new thing. 10 smobs have it. More may come later. Go play!
• July 18 - Today's event is 2x for LS... until I get this nifty smob area open, that is. UPDATE: Or... this smob area could be challenging me, so being quirky, LS 2x is off, DS 2x is on!
• July 19, 20, 21 - Today's event is multi-faceted and parts of it will run through Tuesday. There is 2x for all sides. You need to smob. You need to know 6N, 2E, 3N, E, 2N, W, 3N, 2W, N, W, N. And most important, your event clue is at https://youtu.be/FQYWbWRReUI.
• July 22 - I wouldn't mess with a lion today, if I were you. Not unless I was wearing serious armor and had an even better weapon. Otherwise, you may as well be dipped in bbq sauce, because you're going to be a tasty treat! Oh, also 2x for the morning-ish hours.
• July 23 - The draught has made blighted trees quite nasty, and the lack of water has made grass and mushrooms very tough as well.
• July 24 - Shadoweyes aren't easy targets. That, and there are rumors of plague!
• July 25 - In anticipation for tonight's SS quest: 2x is on for all sides.
• July 26 - The old tanner in Deven Ride is looking for zebra hide.
• July 27, 28 - Karysa the Trader seeks ant parts for an unknown client. (NOTE: This is a tiered change, and will be in place for 2 days.)
• July 29 - The Queen Ant smob is going to be re-adjusted and the changes I've made to it will be in place until further notice. Enjoy the improved loads, hit it all often!
• July 30 - 2x for all sides until crash or reboot, whichever comes first. Have fun!
• August 1 - Since I'm on vacation, I'm doing what's easiest today. 2x for all sides, and the ant bounty is back! In the effort to be as sweetly evil as possible, I have placed some chits out on smobs, including one... ONE... iron chit.
• August 4 - The plot thickens... Now Karysa is seeking parts of sharks, seals, and crabs! How odd, after ants...
• August 5 - While Karysa is off with her newly purchased ingredients, we must help you all level up a bit because... you know.. Hmm. No reason, no reason at all, nothing to see here, move along! (insert sweet smile here) **Lasts until I wake up in the morning. Then we'll see what happens next!
• August 6 - Every 100 minutes, a chit of varying value is loading on a random smob. The first one the game loaded for you? A platinum. Have fun!
• August 7 - Gretchen has shared a platinum chit with everyone, bounty claimed from Mistress Paishain. 2x for all!
• August 8 - 2x for all! Beer fountains are placed in the Two Rivers, just for fun.
• August 10, 11, 12, 13 - The Still Forest has always been a place of whispers of strange, vicious things. Rumor has it that one such creature, always spoken of in hushed tones laced with fear, is stronger and reportedly guarding a growing treasure.
• August 14 - 2x for all sides today thanks to Razhak sharing a platinum chit. Meanwhile, in Vivienne's workshop, evil things are afoot... UPDATE: The new-old smob from 2003 is back in the game! To begin your adventure, explore Governor Adan's mansion for a clue!
• August 18 - A donor who wishes to remain anonymous has given up her very last platinum chit. That's 2x for all, courtesy of master smobber who says she got this right after we came back online.
• August 20 - Nevaeh donated a platinum chit, all sides have 2x.
• August 21 - Today's event: every 100 minutes, there is a 65% chance a chit of varying value will load on a random smob. Have fun! Addition: Gretchen the super-smobber just handed over a platinum chit. That's 2x shared with you all. Isn't she nice?
• August 22 - So Arya has come to your rescue, and shared a platinum chit. She says it's so the Aussies can have some love.
• August 25 - The Shienaran scouts have reported that Shadowmaulers appear to be a lot stronger, and harder to kill.
