RECENT NEWS

Werewolves VS Vampires

The ancient battle between the Vampire and Lycan Lords has reached its climax. Now you must choose which side you are on.
Tons of quests have been added to the entire zone so search around.

Zomhattan Evolution

It seems that the zombies are evolving, becoming smarter and are banding together to combat those who dare enter their turf. This has led to Zombies with similar HP, Agression and other key stats to band together in zones across the city. This new found conformity makes it much easier to identify your target but also much easier to be over run by a horde in a matter of seconds. Watch your back!

FIXES

  • Pop Dragon missions now work
  • General Mission Fixes. Check your logs and see if anything that was bugged is now fixed.

RULES

For the Purpose of these event rules a Global includes “HOFs and ATHs”. All Crafting must take place on Planet ROCKtropia. ROCKtropia includes “Hell and Hunt The THING areas”
Start Date Dec 19th – Jan 8th (Via the in world Clock – Press U to check the time)
Out of the 21 Days only 7 Days (00.00 – 23:59) of Date and Time Stamped Globals, (HOFs’ and ATHs’ Screenies can be entered…) can be counted. So U can choose the best days for your schedule or your best days of Crafting!

Globals will be counted on All Unique ROCKtropia Blueprints only this is to encourage the consumption of ROCKtropia raw materials.
Your “days” will be counted using the in game time stamp with the earliest stamped screenshot each day determining your “day” of hunting. All subsequent screenshots in that day will be counted.

ALL Global Screenshots must be Posted by the end of the Day on January 9th (09/01/2012 23:59 hours) in this thread on NEVERDIE Forum and include the position (in game hot key = P) and timestamps (in game hot key = U) with the global message in the chat box.

You can effectively Craft for 21 days, however choose your best 7 days of Crafting (global screenshots) that you wish to be counted towards the competition!!!. This will enable all participants to discount their “bad” days” and highlight their good ones. (wake up late one day…….. make up for it the next no in game timer to ruin your score!)

The points for the event will be scored by particpants earning a global (a loot worthy of entering the chat box)
For Each Global (globals include HoF’s and ATH’s) on each unique Blueprint the first 10 Globals will be scored as follows:

1st = 1 Points
2nd = 2 Points
3rd = 3 Points
4th = 4 Points
5th = 5 points
6th = 6points
7th = 7 points
8th = 8 points
9th = 9 points
10th = 10 points
11th = 1 point
12th = 1 point

And so on!

NDS will monitor the competition closely to ensure a fair event for all participants. Any violation of the event rules stated here will result in immediate disqualification. If there is any confusion over these rules common sense may apply, but clarifications to rules will be made during the course of the event if neccesarry in The Main Event Thread. In case any problems arise in the ability to fairly judge this event. Event manager reserves the right to tweak the rules at any time in the interest of fairness. Event Manager decisions are final. No teams allowed this time!

November 30th Content Release ??

We have been working on fixing a long list of Bugs, but due to some internal issues, it appears our Bug Fixing update was Bugged.. Something is Really Buggered Up around here and We plan to get to the bugging bottom of it or Die trying!!!

We have been given a new deadline for a mini patch by which time we hope to have all put on our biggest Boots and Stamped on these bleeding Bugs for once and for all.

And for those wise observers who like to point out that our communication methods are not professional. You are damn right they are not!
This is Not Polytechnic, this is Virtual Reality and it’s not pretty…….

And a final message to ROCKtropia’s die hard supporters who are suffering for their convictions and a experiencing a crisis of Faith, I just want to say “God bless you.”

Yours truly

- NEVERDIE
