Artemis,you be the first one to suff...errr enjoy my visit.

Soon I shall appear on your server, channel 1.

But be aware, I made a terrible mistake, I found a potion that reads Youth Potion and I gobbled it down at once. Only after licking my lips I found time to read the label...

"Do not drink, might attract monsters."

So now I am very young, very small, (very cute), and surrounded by mean ol' monsters.

Help the girl, have a heart!

I will be in Silverspring, at the Vender Caravan. These monsters might be dangerous, so the girl managed to call for aid, a debt-clearing NPC will be there as well.

Update: I sure hope Artemis had a good time

The debt-removal NPC is still placed until next maintenance, so might as well put him to good use.

Curse me I forgot to take screens, but if you made any feel free to share them on forums

Tomorrow we visit more servers, so keep an eye on this thread!

Reni, get ready

Shortly after 1 pm PDT I will start with your server for our second Big Five Event!

Update: Lots of tomb stones and lesson learned. Even after respawn the Debt NPC has the timer going. So i left him there until tomorrow so you can use him. Next server I spawn the Debt NPC at the end of the event

And next server will be: Govinda. I shall appear in about 15 minutes from this post.

Update: Govinda visited. Lots of tomb stones again. But I heard of quite a few players who got wings out of the chests. Tried to give as much buff-food as i could, but had to move on to the next server.

Hope you had a good time

Aand the next server will be: Grimdal! Get ready for my visit in about 20 minutes from this post!

Update: Grimdal was not as crowded but we sure had fun

At least I hope you did. Heard some wings dropped again and the debt removal NPC will remain as he does on the other 2 servers until tomorrow.

Palenque will be visited by Duelist tomorrow and i shall visit Osha and Indigo.

Thanks for being the great community that you are

Osha, be prepared, I will start on your server at about 1:15 pm PDT with our event.

Update: Woot, this was quite the crowd. Sorry if I missed any whispers or players while handing out food, it was tough catching everyone. WTB an area giveaway command

Meanwhile Palenque was visited by Duelist and I hope everyone had a good time there as well.

Indigo will be next after a short breather and preparation, I will be around on your server at about 2:45 pm PDT.

Update: And with Indigo we conclude this part of our Big Five Events. I sure hope you had a good time and I heard quite a few wings dropped again

I will leave the debt clearing NPCs on the servers until tomorrow. They stand close to the campfire in the caravan near the lake.

The excitement continues on Friday, the 1st of June 2012, at 3:00 pm PDT with an Exchange Event! Hillary and Frank have arranged to meet you at the Central Plaza of Varanas and Glory Square in the Obsidian Stronghold. If you give Hillary an Experience Potion, she will improve it for you on the spot to give you a High Quality Experience Potion. You can then bring the High Quality Experience Potion to Frank, who will exchange it for an Experience Potion (1 Day) and a Potion of Luck. Good deal, isn’t it?*
In addition, you’ll also get a 75% higher drop rate, 25% more Experience Points and 50% more Talent Points!
The event ends on Tuesday, the 5th of June 2012, at 8:00 am PDT.
*The NPCs can only be found on channel 1.
