All players are welcome to design and produce in-game events. To request administrative support or to be put on the login calendar, email [email protected].

— A Volunteer Guide

Since Project Gorgon first became available to players, individuals and groups in the community have worked to create special events for others to enjoy. This page is not a comprehensive list.

Repeating events

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.

Guild Garden Party

A weekly Sunday event organized by Guild:Rowen Trading

Unique events

The Day of (Forever) Rest

Organized by Guild:Rowen Trading. During this event on June 21, 2020, players were invited to go to the PVP Arena to get a selection of unique PVP deaths.

“

When: June 21st, 2-4 pm server (Eastern) time.

Where: PvP Dungeon in Serbule.

On June 21st, we will be holding a Dying XP event!

We plan to provide everyone with some unique PvP death and thus free dying experience! The goal is simply to come hungry for death (literally, to help us kill you and laugh about it).

The Gluttonous Gourmand Gala

Organized by Guild:Rowen Trading. During this event on May 16, 2020, players were invited to taste food made from hard-to-find recipes. Players who answered an RSVP were allowed into the Party room of the Red Wing Casino. After the event, the room was temporarily opened up to all players to take the leftovers.

“

When: May 16th, 4pm server (Eastern) time.

Where: Casino Party Room

On May 16th, we will be holding a Gourmand XP event!

We’re trying to get a list of interested people so we make about the right number of each dish. Those who RSVP will get an item to access the party room immediately at the start of the event. 3 hours later, the restriction will be lifted and the remaining food will be available to anyone who wants it.

If you’re interested, RSVP by filling out this form with the in-game name of the character you want to participate this week. Responses will close at midnight server time the night of the 9th. If you have already responded, you do not need to do so again.

Note that this is very experimental, and we may encounter problems!

This will include 39 low level uncommon foods:

Erachia, Festival of Elshana

Organized by Guild:Rowen Trading, Guild:Circle of Mystics, and members from other guilds. This event took place between February 14 and 16, 2020. Over three days, a series of raffles, games, and parties were thrown for public participation.

“

Many of you may remember the epic 3-day event held by the Priests of Arisetsu around Ri-Shin in 2018. This year, we’re planning to keep the mega-event legacy alive. As this is around the feast that beings outside Alharth often dedicate to St. Valentine, we gift this event in the name of Elshana, our Muse.

Lore factoid: Elshana is Arisetsu’s first daughter -- see, the Priests live on!

Rowen Trading, and other guilds including the Circle of Mystics, will be celebrating with an event featuring plenty of games and prizes in Serbule from February 14 to 16. Along with a few Cauldron Parties, we will have games, raffles, and giveaways.

The games include "Drunk Deer Tag", "Hide and Seek", Trivia challenges, and more; with fabulous prizes for first, second, and third places. "Drunk Deer Tag", also known as "what, where’d they go!?", will involve us chasing each other as deer, and "booping" others in place of saying "tag, you’re it" ("booping" in this case also includes opening trade.). Other games will be announced before they start.

Between these larger events, we’ll have some goodies for everyone: potentially dance parties, smaller raffles, pun-offs, and some impromptu fun. Who knows what we have up our sleeves! Watch for updates from the organizers!

All of this would not be possible without your participation. But what do you need to do? Only show up ready to have fun and get a little crazy. Teloch may even throw out his favorite butterfly chat art. If you would like to help, find Seya, Teloch, or Tamiq.

Towers' Treasure Trove

Organized by player Towers and Guild:Rowen Trading, this was one of the games held during Erachia, Festival of Elshana. During this event, Project:Gorgon Admins spawned NPC versions of Rowen Trading members around the Serbule region. Interacting with these player models after picking up a book progressed the quest.

“

Greetings! I need help finding my fellow Traders. They left me some hints of where they might be hiding. These all sound like they would be around Serbule.

I’m not patient! The first five players to find them all will get a bonus prize.

- Spiders and dinos and slimes, OH MY!

- An art gallery with a jumping puzzle.

- On top of the world!

- Where the Work Order deliveries arrive.

- Near an often overlooked scroll seller.

- Novice lamplighters tend to miss this spot.

- Kraken can often be seen spawning near here, this is a good place to be out of sight.

- Remember when the Geomancy Awl used to be useful? This is near an above-ground spot it came in handy.

- Near an exit-only door. You could say that those on the other side are fun guys. Kind of dark and damp here.

- South of the Keep, where it looks like someone wanted to add a canal.

- Outside Khyrulek's Lair.

- Trying a skill for the first time? This is where you might test your abilities.

Something also got lost in one of the caves - find that for a small prize.

Good luck!

Teleportation Chain

Organized by Guild:Priests of Arisetsu and Guild:Asheron's Legacy. During this weekend event, members of both guilds linked Teleportation portals across Alharth, allowing a large group of players access to almost every teleport pad in the game, to gain binding experience.

Teleportation Chain v2

Organized by Guild:Rowen Trading. During this event on March 22 2020, members of Rowen Trading linked Teleportation portals across Alharth, allowing a large group of players access to almost every teleport pad in the game, to gain binding experience.

“

Rowen Trading is hosting a teleportation event in a week and wanted to give players time to accumulate amethysts and favor items before the event starts. Please bring 16 Amethysts, 48 salt, 3 parasol mushrooms. We will also be speaking to Ratuk the Thinker so bring in piles of lemons (i'm sorry Sims), Oranges, Tsavorites, Aquamarines, or Magic rings. If you have not already done his favor quests, please bring these items to complete them: Orcish Spell Pouches x5, Tundra Lichen x5.

We will also be visiting Sem so if you have Myconic level 15 then please bring any of these items for favor: Heartshroom, Blue Gems, and Cranium Powder.

Teleportation Chain 3

Organized by Guild:Rowen Trading. During this event on July 26, 2020, members of Rowen Trading again linked Teleportation portals across Alharth.

“

Rowen Trading will be hosting a teleportation event on July 26th and we want to give players time to accumulate amethysts and favor items. For binding to teleport pads, please bring 22 Amethysts and 66 salt. We will also be speaking to Ratuk the Thinker so bring piles of Lemons, Oranges, Tsavorite, Aquamarines, or magic rings. If you have not already done his favor quests, please bring 5 Orcish Spell Pouch and 5 Tundra Lichen.

We will be starting at the altar east of Serbule Keep at 2PM Server Time (EDT). Come a few minutes before to group up so it’s easier to keep track of each other!

We’ll portal to the Casino, bind there, then head out into Rahu. We’ll run to the three teleportation pads there and portal to each location after that. At each teleport pad, use the ‘Bind Circle’ recipe for the XP and head to the next location.

Notes: We will be fighting in the south part of Rahu city instead of buying passes Check where portals go before jumping in

Sunday Funday

Organized by Guild:Priests of Arisetsu and Guild:Asheron's Legacy.

Priests' Anniversary

Organized by Guild:Priests of Arisetsu, this two-day event was filled with giveaways of rare items, raffles, and scavenger hunts.

Encyclopedic Records Recovery

On April 1st, 2017, members of Guild:Chosen of Norala organized a scavenger hunt to recover the The Grand Encyclopedic Records of Alharth and Surrounding Regions, a player-created book hidden somewhere in the game (stolen by Goblins). 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.
