The World Cup event

[Mattdoesrock]

So then, we have ANOTHER event on our hands, you heard right. Fuck balance, we need events!

Here is the link:

http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/index.php?l=1&sec=21&mode=1&event=10

Basically the premise is:

You play for your country.

When you kill someone, the RP earnt is added is a total, that applies for all realms, on all servers.

At the end of the world cup - the country with the most RP wins.

BUT - In order for you to contribute your RP - you need to buy a premium item. :clapclap:

They can be dropped - but there are only 4 boss mobs in game that may drop it. :clapclap:

My thoughts:

At first; oh great, another event. More wasted time that could have been better spent.

However, it doesn't sound too bad. Basically all you have to do is kill everything that moves. Sounds good to me.

Also, if the competition if by Country... NGD do realise there are TWO WHOLE GERMAN SERVERS? Fail.

What do you make of it?



/me waits for the "We'll be making an announcement soon" and lock.

[UmarilsStillHere]

Note, its called Football, not Soccer dam Americanisms ...

The acctual world cup, I care, Come on England! (rave at the pub for every goal ftw)

This event, not so bothered.

Though this football hero thing in the Wz, mind putting Ronaldo in the Wz? Wouldent mind laying my hammer to his face for the infamous 'wink' thing few years back ...

[Gawyn_Trakkand]

I see everyone picking a german team now and other coming in dead last XD. The event in theory is great though i would like an explanation of the whole inter-server thing maybe if they will have a certain cap for certain teams.

Ima go lead switzerland to the victory!!!!!1113ü!40t260'

The event sounds full of fun but yeah there's a lil problem: http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?p=1049718#post1049718

Rofl I already created this thread on the Portuguese Forums: http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?p=1049708#post1049708 (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showthread.php?p=1049708#post1049708) xD

[Klutu]

This Event doesn't actually sound too bad :)

No - Canada (Expected Canadians arn't men't to kick balls around in hot weather)

No Norway (boooo)

Guess im joining the US (Male is gonna mushroom stamp me isn't he? )

idk how to wait till this event is live but it sounds interesting ^^

[UmarilsStillHere]

First England match is Vs USA, wanna put some Magna on it Tutu? :p

No cause the US Sucks xD

[Gytha_Ogg]

Sounds kinda fun to me!

Soccer heroes? Hmm, maybe Maradona and his Stunning Fist of God? :D

(Yeah, I have to call it 'soccer'. I'm in the US, and if I called it 'football', the NFL lawyers would come over to break my kneecaps.)

[UmarilsStillHere]

No cause the US Sucks xD

Ireland sucks but have you seen their fans? :p Have some patriotism! ... Yeah yeah your Canadian, but erm, I want some magna! :D

[bois]

Good idea NGD, I hope for a win on this one. It is a very unique concept.

Yes we may need some sort of cap on certain seeded teams. I can see probably Brazil, Germany, Italy, England and a few others getting over subscribed. I am now rather happy my country Trinidad and Tobago didn't qualify. I think I might be the only guy playing that jersey.

I see the overweight Maradona there as a hero. Let us hope he doesn't have the "HAnd of God " power. We may not be able to defeat him.

I see we got a bald headed Frenchman , A tall Brazilian and it looks like a German.

I am guessing the German might be Klinsmann.
Got me on the Brazilian (Bald headed Ronaldo?)
French man could be Zidane.

All in all this looks very good on paper NGD. Several ideas in one. Good luck and I hope it is a hit on the battlefield. I am sure to give it a try.

A teaser on AMUN the day before launch would be nice too. If there are any kinks, maybe the community can spot them to make this one an overall success.

Also , good job on the presentation of the event. It certainly is a vast improvement and much more clearly transmitted.

Fineee! 15 Mags on the US!

im gonna regret that :p

[bois]

Klutu are you bonkers? 15 mags on the US????

I for one want England to thrash that pick up side. They are in my confederation and they piss me off to the extreme . GO ENGLAND GIVE em 5-0.
15 mags on England!

AAh I am torn . I want to back my traditional team Argentina but, I don't mind backing Spain or Chile either. Decisions, decisions.

Big question is I would love to see who is backing Korea DPR. I could see some of these sides getting no Rps at all.
Not a necessity but it would be nice to see the top 3 teams on an in-game tab.

One last thing. Please make the uniforms so I can store it in my stash please. I would rather not have to put it in tab 5 of my inventory.

Yes, but not because of the bet... :lol:

Yes please. And don't even think about making it weigh 5 kgs again.

[Saltor]

Yes please. And don't even think about making it weigh 5 kgs again.

QFT & THIS!

Grams, not kilos please. >.<

[Masterkick]

The bosses are Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, and Beckembauer. I think... because of the servers.

[Anyriand]

Does it make sense to push this to people who might not even like football? Not my case, I love it and I can't wait for the world cup but... World cup has absolutely nothing to do with a fantasy RvR game :dumbofme:

At least this event encourages actual fighting, so hopefully Horus will be a bit more active than it is now.

As for the actual World Cup... Portugal ftw :banana::bounce:

[Saryad]

As for the actual World Cup... Portugal ftw :banana::bounce:

ENGLAND!!!
I dont give a damn about football but im up for any opportunity to shout at foreigners :D

Exactly, we approached this event in a way that encourages what Regnum does best, Realm versus Realm. So, even if you don't like the context, you will probably appreciate all the skirmishes and battles.

Hunters are going to roam in packs, RRRPPSSS!!!11Q!!!!

I have a fear hunters will contribute mostly to their teams, as they seem to get the most rps these days, with the overpowered troll, the spamming cheap spells, the never losing.....

[Acknor]

Does it make sense to push this to people who might not even like football?

Couldn't care less about soccer/football and Canada's not in it. That means I have absolutely no reason to cheer for any team. I guess I just have to kill everyone in sight instead. :cuac:

[Klutu]

NGD should of made a hockey theme event when the olympics were in vancouver :P


alsooo! can i take back my 15 mags on the US? :P

It was early morning i wasn't thinking straight xD

[Minorian]

Canada's not in it.

WOOOO GO CANADA!!!!

At least we crush everyone at hockey :D

[Jippy]

"I guess I just have to kill everyone in sight instead"

Agreed

[BigManOnCampus]

Soccer sucks as a sport, imo (yes I expect the flamage). I think the whole world's delusional on this game. But I'll participate in the event.

I find it boring as hell to watch, but playing it is great fun.

[BigManOnCampus]

I find it boring as hell to watch, but playing it is great fun.

Not quite as boring as Baseball, which is my main complaint about my own country. Why they consider that stand-around-fest the national pastime is beyond me. I think Americans got addicted to statistics at one point, which might explain why D&D came from here.

American Football, Hockey, and Basketball are, imo, far more exciting to watch than soccer and baseball., strangely those are the less-popular sports worldwide.
EDIT: Add rugby/AFL to this list.

[Klutu]

Yeah... "Football" Basketball Baseball all suck big time to watch :P

I love Soccer/football to play

Hockey is still the best :P

[Mbwana]

GO KOREA!!!!! wewt

(I'm probrably the only one in the whole of RO to be shouting this xD)

[Saltor]

Forget these "team sports", where's our Nine Ball event? Better yet, a poker tournament!

Wait, a poker tournament would actually work.

[Shwish]

This event sounds really awesome to me. Im not a soccer fan myself but who cares if you like soccer or not. a pat on the back for ngd for sparking violence between realms again lol. i wont be supporting my home country (south africa) because my chances of winning anything is the same as our chances of our soccer team making it past the first round.... so im for hire if any country wants me ;)

[Evangeline]

i can c the future, there will be abuse again^^
what if ppl from same country as team and diff realms help each other win rps?? that would be bad...
Another situation: what if a person from a certain country decides to join a country that has the most players?? just to win... whats the fun on that:D

[UmarilsStillHere]

alsooo! can i take back my 15 mags on the US? :P


Shouldent make bets when hung over :p

But sure, I couldent take stuff from an impoverished barb such as yourself anyway ^^

[Linuxmage]

Ireland isnt in that list of Countries?

Does that mean they cant compete?

Ireland IS in the world cup.

I wont be around for a while on it anyway, as i am moving this weekend, and could be without Broadband for a few weeks.

[Topogigio_BR]

Kind of sad about this event.

Few brazilians at this game :ohill:

im not sure if it matters so much where you come from as opposed to which soccer team you support. i suspect theres gona be a popular country choice. we'll just have to wait till tomorrow and see

[Znurre]

Since Sweden apparently isn't in the word cup I guess I will play for Japan and my beloved anime :wub2:
Seems like a fun even btw, but we'll see...

The idea of this event is nice... but honestly, it looks absurd.

[Silent_Shadow]

What's wrong with absurd looking events? xD

Woot! Soccer!! so fun to play and semi fun to watch.
I guess I'll play for the US though they suck lol.

I wont be around for a while on it anyway, as i am moving this weekend, and could be without Broadband for a few weeks.Awwwwww, even though I'm mostly English, I'd still want to go out in an Ireland shirt :cuac:

But I don't like football (uh, soccer). Last time I played I broke my hip. :rale: Event sounds like it could be quite fun though :)

And can we have a similar event for the rugby world cup next year? Much better game.... :D

Close your eyes. Imagine watching Lord of the Rings. Imagine the battle of Helm's Deep. Imagine the besieged Rohirrim defending the breached parapets from the Uruk-Hai.

Now imagine Legolas prancing by in a matching set of French Adidas soccer shorts / jersey doing his elf thing.

You know how that would totally ruin that film, right? Well, this event totally ruins the feel of RO. Not that it hasn't already been mostly ruined by one epic-fail event after the next (and the indefinite indifference from the devs to actually work on the GAME ITSELF).

Seriously? A soccer event? Well this game is already a joke at this point, why not make it official? Next thing we know the next event will be ballerina outfits or clown costumes.

:cuac:

Good idea NGD +1

[Anpu]

Its funny to see warju dressed like football player with Zarkit. :)

[Shwish]

Due to the 5k xim entrance fee for this event stopping alot of players from wanting to take part, i think we should have a huge discount on Xims for the duration of this event. like 50% more :wish:... lol worth a shot

i dont mind paying the 5k but its sad that my whole clan and alot of other players have already said they wont be taking part because the 5k could be spent better elsewhere :(

btw how does the drop system for these costumes work?

[Gytha_Ogg]

Can you still earn points for your team/country when your real team fails to advance from the round robin? I need to know because I'm in the U.S.

[Arafails]

On the other hand, if it was Gimli, Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, an Uruk-hai, or any one of the many supporting roles, it'd be fine. The hobbits would look like badly dressed jockeys, and Gandalf, Saruman, or Elrond would just make it gay.

Edit: PS. If you don't like it, you can disable costumes in the options menu:sifflote:

The best part of recent events is that clothing style doesn't fit medieval aesthetics of the game (http://regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showpost.php?p=401918&postcount=10). So, jesters don't fit medieval battlefiled (http://regnumonline.com.ar/forum/showpost.php?p=401934&postcount=12) but football players or barouque pirates and aristocrats do.
