Realms of Hell 18th Anniversary Spectacular!

Greetings and well met travelers. It was 18 years ago this Halloween that Realms of Hell materialized into existence. In celebration of such occasion I am pleased to bring you a three activities in which you may choose take part. In addition, I'd like to remind everyone that Halloween is an XP Bonus event so even if you choose not to take part in any of the festivities, you may want to take advantage of the accelerated experience earning opportunity!

  • Realms Trivia! - In the earliest days of the game, trivia contests were held somewhat frequently and offered players an opportunity to win prizes for their general world knowledge. However, since the ability to look up virtually any information on the internet has been refined in the last 18 years, such a general knowledge trivia would be too simple a task. Instead, I am challenging all comers to take part in Realms Trivia, a game that tests your in-game knowledge, as well as your historical knowledge of the MUD. Please see below for more information on how to participate.

  • Derlith Trick-or-Treat - On Halloween, each player who logs in will receive a special Trick-or-Treat bag that can be used to scour the Realms of Hell for various tricks and treats hidden throughout the land. All treats are allergy friendly Popcorn

  • Pumpkin Invasion! - A dark hour will soon descend upon the citizens of Highport as the Pumpkin Queen tears her way across dimensions to invade the Realms of Hell. Unholy abominations will scour the streets and rise up to prey on the weak. Face off against Deneb the Pumpkin Queen, her generals, and her hordes of twisted minions in a fight to defend the realm from one of the greatest threats it will ever face. Level restricts will be set on certain creatures to prevent level 40 characters from steamrolling through everything; however, there will also be several challenges for such high level players. Those taking part should expect to spend a considerable amount of time in Limbo. The invasion will begin late at night, so be prepared!

    Note: No exp loss for deaths incurred by the pumpkin horde.


Realms Trivia!
Below are twenty-one questions related to Realms of Hell: ten questions related to current in-game knowledge and eleven questions related to historical reference. The rules are as follows:

  • All players may enter
  • the player with the most correct answers wins
  • in the event of a tie, a tie breaker round will be performed
  • Answers must be submitted to Nikola via forum Private Message or Mudmail by midnight Central Time on 10/31/16
  • Once you submit your answers they are final
  • Additional prizes may be awarded for the player who gets the most historical questions right and/or 2nd place (dependent on participation)

In a rather embarrassing turn of events, it would appear as though the MUD is still down after many hours today. As these things tend to happen we should be understanding, even though it's unfortunate it should occur on the 18th Anniversary day.

As a result, I will be running the Pumpkin Horde event tomorrow (or as soon as the MUD is up) and will leave it running for 72 hours at a minimum. This will give everyone who takes part considerable time to get some rewards.

If you haven't logged in then you're missing out. The pumpkins are invading Highport and must be purged. The Queen of Pumpkins is due to arrive tomorrow.

Just wanted to thank Nikola and Bane, (mostly Nikola Razz) for putting this on for all of us players. I know it takes a great deal of time and effort to put all this together and it is greatly appreciated. Mr. Green

Much appreciated.

If you have any screen caps of the many deaths from the Queen it would be nice to see.
