Freeport Wierd TreesFollow

HEY THERE!
was in Freeport Today 5/1/04 and saw a couple weird trees, one of them was infront of Hogcaller inn, and the other one near the Monk guild, they are not Enchanter bodys, the trees are tall and have spikes comming out of the sides, im sure they have not been there to long because i been playing for a LONG time and never seen them, and also you can climb the one thats near hogcaller inn and actually jump from it to the roof of the near by merchant house, so i would have tried climbing them a long time ago,

any ideas?

WOW thanks for your reply, do to the lack of intrest i hope this post does not get burried, im going to log on one of my Guys and travel around and look for more of these crazy looking trees, i forgot to mention that earler that night i got what looked like a server wide msg saing something thing like "bla bla bla bla this adventure might need your expertice" i asked around and now one else got that message, thanks again for being intrested, My Quest seems far from over!

Hmmmm. the Plot thickens ! I was on with my Dwarf Paladin it would have been fun busting some undead but, shame the MSG was to criptic to follow, thanks for your info though, im about to head out and look for more of thoses trees

That sounds interesting, please tell me where i might see one of thoses trees, did not get a chance to do more looking around for other strange trees,

thanks again!

I got the same message about "...helping on an adventure", I was getting ready to log, but decided to stick around because I assumed it was a "GM event"...I'm not exactly sure what that is, I've only heard others speak of it...Anyway, I stuck around for half an hour and nobody in PoK ever confirmed anything and I didn't get anymore messages...

So, is there a way to find out the details of a GM event? Did I just not stick around long enough? What is the benefit of one of these events and what typically happens at one?

Every now and then (more then than now), Sony has their GM's do some kind of event for players to participate in. Usually with a GM event only reward involved.

Not long ago, they held a fishing tournament in Oasis. I was at an event once in LOIO where the GM's gave away a nice little item if you turned a Sarnac Blood into the GM posing as the God Inoruuk.

Once, they spawned a TON of Griffons in East Commons.


You'll see a yellow system message from Sony staff in advance of the event.

I'll find one in EC and take fix on the /loc then let you know where, although I see them in a lot of zones. Always the same face although sometimes I think it looks like a dog and sometimes it seems more like a cat... Whichever, I'll bet it's the RL pet of one of the artists or designers.

BTW - they seem to be easiest to see at dusk or after dark... maybe something to do with lighting and shadow...

Usually for a GM event, the system message (yes Lady r the whole server gets the message) isn't that cryptic. And if it's a GM event I've always seen "SYSTEM MESSAGE:" in front of the announcement.

The zone that the GM event occurs in is usually displyed and they start announcing it about half an hour before the event starts.

If you haven't done so, open the storyline (a button you can click on your toolbar) and see if any further info is available.

Either someone running a casino (you "bet" plat and get a return or not based on how high you roll), or a group may have been randoming off a looted item although that's usually random 101.

It's like rolling dice. You type:

/random 1 101 (to roll a random number between 1 and 101)and the message and result you saw shows up in the chat box.

Or it could have been someone who was VERY bored rolling "dice". LOL
