Events

Overview

Events are special in-game activities, such as GM-run events, automated events, and seasonal/holiday events. They are a way for players to have fun and take a break from the grinding aspects of the game.

Automated Events

An automated event is a type of event that is run on the server automatically. A GM does not need to initiate or be part of the event for it to run successfully.

We run automated events every hour, with currently 4 different events:

Cluck! Cluck! Boom!

It's Russian Roulette... With a chicken! This unfortunate chicken has swallowed an item and hopefully you can scare it out of them. But be careful, because this chicken is mean! It can cast Freeze, Stone, Sleep, and more on those who mess with it. If you happen to be the lucky person who gets the item out, you win 40 Kawaii Coins!

Dice Event

Take a chance and roll the dice! If you stand on the right square that the NPC calls, you win 15 Kawaii Coins!

Garden Invasion

A poor gardener needs help defending his flowers from invaders! Each Lunatic and Fabre that you kill gives you 1 point, but every bee that you kill removes a point! For every 5 points you get, the gardener will give you 1 Kawaii Coin.

Poring Race

Are you the betting type? Then take a chance with one of 6 Porings! It costs 5,000 Zeny per bet, and you can win 15 Kawaii Coins if your Poring crosses the finish line first!

Staff-Run Events

In addition to automated events, the staff runs events on their own periodically. There is no set schedule for these events and they occur when staff members are able to run them. Below is a list of past events held by our staff.

Hide and Seek

One of our staff members hides in a secret location before the start of the event. Once the event starts, they give clues to their location, and it's a race to find them! The first one to reach the staff member wins a prize!

Monster Invasion

Defend your homes from threatening monsters! Staff members will summon all sorts of monsters, from swarms of Lunatics and Porings to much more challenging monsters. Defeating them will give you some really awesome rewards.

Races

Race against the clock and your competitors for the chance to win prizes! Multiple races have been run, including Turbo Track races and partner relay races. The first person (or team) to reach the finish line wins a prize!

Safe Cracker

Crack a safe and steal the prize! This event should be played in a location that isn't the main hangout area (fountain square in Prontera). The host will set up a "safe", which is a private chatroom with a passcode to enter and should allow only 1 other person inside. They'll announce that they have put the event rewards inside the "safe" and invite participants to attempt to crack the safe and claim the prizes for themselves. The first player to crack the combination and enter the chatroom wins the prizes!

Yahtzee

Take a chance and possibly win a prize! This event should be played in a location that isn't the main hangout area (fountain square in Prontera). This event can have multiple rounds, depending on the number of participants. Everyone lines up in front of the host. One by one everyone will enter the "/dice" command, rolling a die above their heads. Players should also enter in the chat in what number they landed on once the roll is finished. Whomever got the highest number for that round wins a prize! If there is a tie, those who tied for highest number should re-roll until a winner is determined. The last round is usually a bonus round, where instead of rolling for the highest number, players should roll for the lowest number.

If the prize is a piece of headgear or a similar item, winning players should sit out for the remainder of the event to allow other players to participate.

Forum Events

We also host a variety of events on our forums. Typically these events run for longer periods of time, typically a couple of weeks or so, to give players as much time to participate as possible.

Screenshot Contests

Screenshot contests allow players to express their creativity and humor. The host will give a prompt or a theme, and participants submit screenshots from the game, editing them and putting captions to them.

Rules

• Screenshots must be from LeikaRO
• Only one entry per person
• The person that submits the entry wins the prize, even if multiple people are present in the screenshot

Guess the Location

This event tests your knowledge of locations in RO. The host posts screenshots of themselves in a location in RO, and it's up to the participants to figure out where the host is!

Rules

• Participants must take a screenshot of their character in the same location as the host's location
• Participants also need to post the coordinates and map name from their screenshot
• One one entry per person
• All screenshots must be from LeikaRO
• The first person to get the screenshot, map name, and coordinates right wins a prize

Seasonal & Holiday Events

For major holidays, such as Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and others, we hold specific events. They typically last for a long period of time, often a few weeks, so that players can experience all of the content of the event. Festivities such as headgear creation, special monster spawns, holiday quests, and special drops are frequently included in the holiday events.
