The OFFICIAL THREAD: The Ascalon Royal Family Masquerade Ball, Community Event

I have to ask, will staff members be allowed to enter the costume contest? obviously the judges can't, but what about the rest of us? okay, so I'm really just looking for an excuse to get some new armor, but really, I'd love a chance to enter once the thread is posted!

**still collecting donations from my guild...the numbers are piling up though, very exciting!**

Sry... all staff members are exempt from being part of any of the contests or games (cause we're getting paid). maybe we can have one on thursday at the staff meeting. Get some small gold or something.

oh poo! way to crush my dreams! just for that maybe i don't want to be staff anymore! haha, yeah right! you couldn't pay me enough to give this up now! ahh well, at least I still know I've got the coolest looking armor..uh..I mean, costume out there!

in that case, I suppose I'll actually tell my guildmates when to look for that thread to pop up, maybe I can give them some style tips (dwayna knows they're mostly men and completely fashion clueless!) they'll need them!

Change of plans... Friday is officers meeting. Around 6PM EST (10PM GMT in serenity Temple ID1) Be there please staff!

Ive just been messin around lately, but ive got a stash of some kinda good stuff in my storage that I can donate. Ive got an ungula axe...rare-skinned hammer (forget name)...nice (but req 12) shadow axe...margonite gem...2 stygian gems...a green...and som other stuff. Case in point. im farming colossal scimitars so the loss of som of this stuff wont be a big deal if I get one. Its all I got .

I could actually use a Colossal Scimitar, req10 or higher of course... that or elemental sword/dwarven axe/serpent axe. Why? Secret, but it involves another contest in the works that Izzy kind of gave some ideas about (yes Izzy, ANET staff game balancer) More on that later, I love causing suspense.

You can easily solo farm them (although rare of course. thats why they cost alot ) at the beginning of the Moddok Crevice mish in hard mode. Just dont agree to go with the person and ur fighting all warrios (with the exception of the paragon). Ive not gotten a colossal yet but I did get my ungula axe in there.

It is official. Gaile Gray will be attending the event, as will hopefully Alex Weekes. Not sure if it will incognito or not, but she will be there. Things are certainly looking up for this great event!

Would you like me to spam the event in Kamadan, LA, and KC to get mor people?

I already have been for weeks, and gotten 60-70 people who didnt already know about it informed and excited. Did yall not seen my post earlier?

great...right as I'm eating >_> jk jk
I'll see if I can make it.

I'll be there. Might be a bit late since my class finishes at 6 my time (which is 10 GMT).

Cheers.

If you are going to attend the event for CERTAIN guys and girls, please post your intent here.

Example: I am going to be there for sure!


This will give me a conceptual idea of how many guests I can expect.

Thanks, Rahja.


BTW: An update on current donations! Donations have totalled over 2 million gold in total value! Keep up the good work guys, still need about 700k more in donations to hit my goal for the size of the event. Great work!

Can i be runner number 1? i have run many people this way at least 100 and know what im doing. either pm me in game: Username- Griffin Ator
or email me at: [email protected] also how do you enter the costume contest?

This sounds fun - I'll be sure to be there!

Gonna do my best to be there.

Count me in =) and possibly 4-5 people from my guild. Am I correct in understanding that all the Ascalon running positions are filled?...I still see slot 1 open. If so, I'd like to apply - but no references available [nobody in my guild navigates guru T_T I do it for them]. In any case, =) please feel free to PM myself or my husband if you need more backup runners or announcers.

are we allowed to enter mre then one character i te costume contest I really love my mes and ele! I wouldnt know how to choose!

oooo. srry I cant giv u the stuff that I mentioned earlier. I gotta use it to buy a staff I need for my eles new farming build. srry. However the farming build is for colossal scimitar farming in a different spot. Chances are i'll get proably MORE than 1 before the party and i'll be about to giv u lots of money.

Aww, I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to this event, but unfortunately it's held at a bad time for me.

I'm not complaining though. It's impossible to find a time that's good for everyone. 8-10pm EST is best for me, but of course that would exclude Europe. Good Luck with the event. I hope everyone has a good time.
