Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

Tarutaru marathon= bunch of level ones running from point A to point B. Hilarity ensues.

Anyway, that line up looks really dull to me, really. Although I'm sure it'll still be a blast for those attending.

Tarutaru Marathon is usually running a Tarutaru level 1 character through a area without maps. You will most likely get aggroed by a mob and die. Last year they ran through Lufaise Meadows to find a GM out in a outpost or in Tavnazia (sp). (I wasn't really paying attention I was trying to win the Live Quest.)

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

The marathon was done last year and was a huge hit. ^- ^


They should have them all go out and try to kill Bubbly Bernie this year instead of racing.

Then it wouldn't be a Marathon, but a Tournament.
Then that would be an insult to Tarutaru everywhere... are you implying that as tarutaru, we cannot kill Bubbly Bernie?

Just because our weapons are the size of your foot doesn't mean the damage is toned down.

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

Just got back from the Fan Fest check-in.

Quite a lot of frigging people there. I'm not sure how many people were there the first time around but the line when from inside the hotel lobby, out along the front side of the building then half way down the left side of the building. When I left 2hours after first getting in line, there was still a line back to where I started.

I was talking to one of the staff and he says they dont know how they're going to fit so many people in an 2nd floor conference hall.

Anyhow, was neat. If any of you see Omni/Remora, please say hi

taru edit: my gobbie bag smells like asia. they must have brought them over from japan.

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

Can you guys let us know if they make any announcements concerning Wings (info we don't know) and anything about the job changes? I seriously do not trust S-E to give us proper information, if any information at all.

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

One time I advocate checking BG - announcements will be up there probably faster than anywhere.

Apparently the Tarutaru marathon is in Mamook this year...

That kinda doesnt make sense because any info we get will be from SE themselves...

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

I'm used to the fact that S-E doesn't give us flat straight out info, only cryptic bullshit. Didn't they said they are going to announce job changes for Wings? To me, everything they say I take with a grain of salt. Unless they actually back up their words, everything they say, I see as bullshit.

For example, weren't they going to fix THF with the two-hour? So far I've seen nothing with that. And if the 'changes' they have for the jobs are merits only, I'm going to be extremely pissed off to no end.

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

dude, relax...

I know instant gratification is really nice and all but changes come slowly. If you are hoping to see an update where they fix everything at once, you're delusional.

hey, they gave changes to 2 handers. they changed pld ALOT. they gave smn 2 bps. so on and so forth. shit comes slowly. thats just how it is.

Re: 2007 Fanfest schedule up

Changing a job's two-hour won't fix the job, except when that job's two-hour is called Call Wyvern.
