Poetry Jam

Soon after the Poetry Podium for Poetry Appreciation and Oratory was introduced to the game, players began to figure out the best options for taking advantage of the review system poetry offered. A weekly, weekend event was created, spearheaded by the user Matzur and several others. Eventually, Teloch and the Guild:Priests of Arisetsu took over the responsibility of running the events. Organization of the event was passed to Guild:Rowen Trading in August 2019.

Flipside Poetry Jam

Sometimes, players organize a Flipside Poetry Jam for players in the eastern hemisphere. When held, this event takes place about 10 hours before the regularly scheduled Poetry Jam.

Povus-palooza

Other players spent five hours searching for guild members with clues scattered across the land, ultimately discovering the missing book inside one of the towers of Eltibule Keep. To encourage participation, this wiki was partially unavailable until the book was recovered.

The messages were usually posted between 3am and 6am server time (EST) and would appear in batches over a year.
