Hey, i was kicking around ideas for some LS activities, with a few of my LS friends, and i came up with and idea that i need a little help with.. With a little help, we could prolly make it a whole server thing, but at first, i was just gonna use it in my LS and give out prizes to the people that win..

A Scavenger hunt.. I just dont know exactly how to incorporate it, maybe it should be screenshots of a certain person in an area, or might have to gather items from different places, or get to a certain spot, and a player would be waiting there for you to give you a specific item that has a signature on it or something... Lots of different ideas...

So, i have come to you.. Allakhazam..

What are some of your ideas for a Scavenger hunt, or have other LS already gone thru with this idea, and if you had, could i please get some information as to how you pulled this off.. If this idea goes over well with my LS, i think i might make a server wide Scavenger hunt, and offer up some prizes for people to win..


Please leave me some feedback, or leave me a message in my Mailbox here on alla...

Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and i hope to hear some great ideas!! Thanks.

I know I know ooh oohh pick me pick me!!!

You can use me for one of your "items"

Have them come find me dead somewhere.
Due to the fact that I have a ridiculous knack for ending
up dead at least 15-20 times a week, (it's a real wonder I made it up to the level I am now)

There are several people in game who can attest to my foolhardy nature (I love to go exploring). The question is where am I going to die next ^^

I died last night because I thought it would be cool to play with Boreal Courel (spelling). Needless to say that was fun ^^

what you think my idea is corny? rate me down or up i dont care ^^

hey zander, i like that idea actually, if you want to go get yourself killed so they can find you and take a pic, then by all means, i will get ahold of you in game when i get a chance..

Your Zander.. Right?

thanks for the idea!

well, if I am available for the event, I would be glad to participate


I'll even help by being someone to find

the suggestion part of this

have the hunters find a "hunted player" (using /sea or whatever) that person has a stack of... say... oranges, maybe 2 stacks, but the hunters have to get an orange from that person....

the "hunted player" will then give the hunter the name of the next person they must find, and that person has a few stacks of <insert cheep stackable item here>

for this to work without cheating, none of the hunters can know what the next item is... and to get the prize, the hunters have to give EVERY item in the hunt to the final "hunted" player

this leaves the "hunted" players the ability to actually make use of their time(for farming, or xping a new job solo, or even party xping... if the "hunted" can find a leader that is willing to allow the intruption)

watchin a bunch of people run arround an area looking for the next "hunted" player would be SOOOOO funny

hell i'd like to help

maybe as part of it you could show people small pictures of place maybe like the corner of a screenshot and make them go geta full SC of the place.

i would suggest on the items part that it be items they cant just buy at an AH.

<edit>
that would only leave rare/ex items and beastman/kindred seals

I could have been more clear in my statement...

the "hunted" players that have the items only give the name of the next "hunted" player after giving the item that they have

another thing that would help prevent cheating is if the "hunted" players send a /t to a "coordinator" (who probably covers 3-4 of the hunted players) with the name of the hunter that just found them. the "coordinator" then keeps a list for each of the "hunted" they are responsable for

eh, I could keep going off on this, but as you can see, my idea would take a bit of planning

Yes, it would take a bit of planning, but that is why we have the rest of our lives to live..

I think i am leaning towards the idea of a Hunter/Hunted Theme for the first Scavenger Hunt.. There are alot of good ideas that have been thrown out, and some that still that have not been discussed.. and i am looking very very forward to making this a Server Wide Event, brought to you by Hipnotik Nation.

Of course it will start small, but i think after about 5 of these Events, it will really take off, and spawn different things we can all do together to make Coexistence on our server alot easier, and it will introduce alot of people..

The First Scavenger Hunt that i am going to do (and i highly recommend that you share this idea with your LS also) is going to be for my LS only.. But moving forward, i think that most of my shell will be more than happy to broaden the scope of this..


Thanks for all the great ideas!! I am glad the Forums are finally back up!!

Please keep the ideas coming!! I love them!
