2009 Live Events

2/18/2009 - Hero Token Drop in the Marketplace



 * On February 18, 2009 during the evening (roughly 6:30 pm on FF) +Turbine Geneva went to each server and dropped hundreds of Hero Tokens in the Marketplace.
 * This act was not an official apology for the recent server instability and authentication server problems:



3/16/09 - Leafcull
A dungeon appeared in Hebian-To near the meeting hall. It was called Not a Dungeon Filled With Monsters. It did not live up to its name.

The dungeon was full of Apostate Servants, Hea Apostate Shock Troopers, and Gotrok Aetherium Miners. In the bottom was a Very Mad Cow. After a long battle and many deaths, the mad cow and its minions were defeated, and the participants found Hero Tokens scattered on the floor.

3/17/09 - Wintersebb
The same portal appeared on WE, 9pm Euro Time (3pm CST?). The dungeon also held Tremendous Baby Monougas. The cow was not killed, but NoWorries (invisible) gave out hero tokens.

4/1/09 - Mad Cow Invasion
Mad Cows appeared in most towns (including starter towns), they dropped no loot.



6/17/09 - Creatures Invade Tufa


On Wednesday June 17th +Turbine Geneva spawned random creatures outside the town of Tufa (at 14.8S, 5.6E). This was not a storyline related event. The spawns started at roughly 6:00 pm Eastern and ended around 7. Throughout the event Hero Tokens were found on the ground in the area where the creatures spawned (thus making it difficult to get tokens with mules).

Creatures

 * Also a creature called a Wild Swarm appeared that looked like the regular environmental effect swarms.
