Christmas is Coming

[MrSugarCube]

It is that time of the year again, and plans are underway to make this another great Christmas on Lothlorien. :)

Christmas Dungeon.
First of all, the Christmas Dungeon will be opening on Sunday December 18th. All of our usual friends will be there waiting to enjoy your company :D

This year, the dungeon has changed slightly. It has been split up into different sections containing different groups of enemies (and one or more boss characters). Every day, the next section will be opened up, giving access to more of the dungeon, until the entire dungeon is accessible.

As always, boss tickets can be looted from the bosses which can be claimed at a prize stone at the dungeon entrance. This prize stone will not be available for you to use until all of the bosses are accessible.
The dungeon will be closing on January 31st. Any christmas boss tickets remaining after this time will be deleted.


Santa Claus is Coming!
Next, as our added Christmas bonus this year, Santa himself will be giving out presents to everyone!

There is however, a minor catch, and that is you must first locate Santa to receive your present. Beginning from the opening of the Christmas Dungeon, Santa will appear at random locations in the map every hour, and wait there for 10 minutes. During this time, anyone may receive their present from him by approaching him and saying 'present'.

This is not all though! Every time Santa appears at a location, he will have a question ready to ask those who come his way. Anybody who can answer his question will receive an additional present. The question will be randomly selected from a collection of 30 Lothlorien-related questions. You can receive an additional present for each question he asks (but you cannot receive more than one for answering the same question, even on a different occasion). The first ever player to answer a question will receive a special prize.

Santa will stop appearing once the Christmas Dungeon is fully accessible, as he takes the role of the final dungeon boss.


The Lothlorien Staff team wishes everyone an enjoyable Christmas this year. :santa:

[girthy]

hahaha, you have to locate sants. nice idea but i think there will be more change of finding Pariah's C**K :p

[pilz-e]

some of the places santa goes to are fairly obvious (when testing i found him in a town once or twice :) )
some are more difficult/less likely to find, but that just means you have to bother looking harder :D

[BlaggOr]

Sooooo santa will appear in the whole map of loth?

[MrSugarCube]

The locations have been randomly selected from the whole map (excluding dungeons and oceans) beforehand. Some are very easy, some are very hard.

[pilz-e]

*thinks it would be funny for someone to be sailing and santa drops in on them* :P

[Tinbad]

Crap... Im poor at treasure hunting unless someone narrows it don for me :arrow: I dont think im going to be able to find him unless im really really lucky.

/me wanna present too ;< like a manaflow gem or smth :P

[MrSugarCube]

The Christmas Dungeon has just opened. :)

The Santa has now also been launched and should appear in his first location in ~40 minutes. Lets see who can be the first to answer one of his questions :D

[Blizzer]

Will he be spawned more then once everyday?

[pilz-e]

he spawns once an hour and stays where he spawns for 10 mins, then disappears until the next hour.

[Anarae]

Does he spawn every whole hour (1pm, 2pm, etc.)?

Perhaps it's a good idea to make him announce that he has spawned again, but not in those words obviously :)

[Scythe]

Well congrats to Lorenzo for finding him first, I then followed and got a present as well :P.

[pilz-e]

maybe there would be some interest in people posting where they see santa? That way it helps everyone to find him and get extra prezzies :P

[joshua]

Damn, i was looking around in the xmas dungeon for him this whole time. Was like wtf, they said he'd spawn and ask questions n stuff...pfft
