Following the success of our December inter-game IRE event, we are so excited to announce our next event installment which will run through September! Celebrate good times here in Starmourn as you collaborate with players from across the Iron Realms to open the Carnival and experience all it has to offer.
Let's set the scene...
Run by the irascible Grimbeard and the foppish Ringmaster Percivale, the Iron Carnival was once a star-studded celebration that traveled otherworldly lands, putting on a dazzling show full of games, fairground amusements, and tasty treats. In the modern day however, the Carnival has fallen into disrepair and the troupe needs your help to restore it to its former glory!
Take a Station Transfer from Omni Station to the Iron Carnival grounds, where you'll find Grimbeard and a task board awaiting your help. As spacers in the Starmourn sector and adventurers across time and planes assist, your access to the Carnival's attractions will gradually expand. Work hard and work together, and you might just see the Carnival come fully to life!
-- Two unique quest categories.
As you complete Building quests, you'll bring in materials and workers to boost the development of unopened areas of the Carnival. Every 5 days the unopened area with the most contributions across all the Iron Realms games will open for everyone for the duration of the event. Check the status of this with CARNIVAL AREAS.
Once an area is open, Grimbeard will ask for helping bringing in Crowds. With each contribution, visitors will flock in to the areas you assist with. As the crowds grow, the spirit of the Carnival will improve, inspiring unique mini-events per area and occasionally bringing Percivale the Ringmaster to dangerously excitable states. You can check the crowd states with CARNIVAL CROWDS.
-- Bring the spirit of the Carnival to a grand crescendo!
Attendees can expect a variety of attractions and games, including fortune telling, pie-eating contests, a sideshow and menagerie, paint-pelting clowns, face painting, chain-letter prophecies that go from game to game, and more! Win tickets from your contributions or high scores and collect takeaway souvenirs from a large selection of event-exclusive rewards and trinkets.
Oh, and while exploring, you may even notice phantasmal specters of visitors from another world across the Iron Realms. Greet them and your emotes will echo across planes, times, and space...
The entire Iron Realms team has been working on this cross-game event for the last several months and it's our pleasure to finally unleash it upon the world! we hope you enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed putting it together, and please be sure to read over the full writeup in HELP IRON CARNIVAL!
As with any major event release, there are certain to be bugs and tweaks! Do not fear - report anything wonky via BUG report and we'll address as soon as possible.
Wishing you an absolute BLAST at the Carnival this season.
Your Starmourn Admin Team
