Competition Structure Registration[edit]

The mission system will be used to track the Merry Mayhem event. The Mayhem mission is available from the NPC Carl Tucker, located in Port Atlantis. This mission will track kill points and each participant’s category. The mission will be available starting on Dec. 21, but event kills will not register before Dec. 26.

Don’t forget to get the mission! Participants can register for the Mayhem mission up until the 29th Dec 18:00 UTC.

Do not abandon the mission! If a participant abandons the Mayhem mission, all event points accumulated up to that time will be forfeited. Participants can then receive the mission a new, and restart the event with zero event points.

Categories[edit]

Merry Mayhem offers four categories to accommodate participants of varying profession levels. Category qualification will be based upon a participant's highest Professional Standing from the following qualification list:

BLP Sniper (Hit)
BLP Pistoleer (Hit)
Laser Sniper (Hit)
Laser Pistoleer (Hit)
Swordsman (Hit)
Knife Fighter (Hit)
Brawler (Hit)

Each participant's highest professional standing from the qualification list will determine which of the following event categories the participant will compete within:

Category 1: Highest Professional Standing 0-24
Category 2: Highest Professional standing 25-49
Category 3: Highest Professional standing 50-69
Category 4: Highest Professional Standing 70 or higher

Participants will initially be sorted into one of these four categories upon registration for the Mayhem mission. The final category qualification will happen when the participant first kills an event mob once the event starts on Dec. 26.

If a participant’s highest professional standing increases after accepting the Mayhem mission (but before the event start time) and would place the participant into a higher category, the participant will compete in the higher category for the Mayhem event.

Participants will remain in the category for which they qualified at the start of the event on Dec. 26, even if skill gains result in promotion to a higher professional standing.

The Mayhem creatures assigned to each category are:

Category 1: Daikiba
Category 2: Feffoid
Category 3: Neconu
Category 4: Rextelum

Extra Spawns Temporary event spawns will be introduced for Merry Mayhem; coordinates for those spawns will be provided several days before the event begins. Scoring Points will be awarded to event participants based upon the maturity of creatures killed:

Young/Outcast/Weak - 1 point
Mature/Bandit/Watcher - 1 points
Old/Guard/Soldier - 2 points
Provider/Raider/Strong - 2 points
Guardian/Warrior/Ravager – 3 points
Dominant/Beserker/Devastator - 3 points
Alpha/Hunter/Hunter – 4 points
Old Alpha/Warlord/Chaser - 4 points
Prowler/Champion/Majestic - 5 points
Stalker/Clan Warlord/Queen - 5 points

Prizes will be awarded to the participants that accumulate the highest points within each category. Prizes will be distributed as follows:

25. VAT-110

25. A-3 Justifier Mk.V

25. DOA Loudmouth

25. DOA Strikehammer

Prize Notes: For armor prizes, winners will receive armor parts that match their avatar gender.

Item Naming Rights - these prizes allow the winner to choose the name of a new item soon to be released on Planet Calypso. Winners will be contacted by the Calypso development team for the desired item name.

All Merry Mayhem participants get a Merry Mayhem Participation Diploma when the mission is handed in to Carl Tucker, at any point after Jan 13th. Additionally, each participant finishing in the top 15 in one of the four categories will receive a special Merry Mayhem Diploma.

Rules[edit]

All participants MUST register for the Mayhem mission by visiting the NPC Carl Tucker in Port Atlantis. Kills of event mobs by participants who have not registered for the Mayhem mission, or who have abandoned the Mayhem mission will not be counted.
During the five day event period, a participant may compete for no more than a total of 30 hours. Participants may allocate these 30 hours however they wish during the event period, as long as the total playing time does not exceed 30 hours in total.
Please note that online session time is counted from the moment a participant submits their login and password information, up until the end of the 20 second logout countdown (even if the ‘Exit Now’ button is pressed when logging out).
Skill chipping (in or out) is not allowed between Dec. 21 12:00 UTC and Dec. 31 12:00 UTC for participants in the Mayhem event.
Kill points are awarded to the participant that inflicts the most damage to a killed creature.
Participants’ final event category is established once the event starts on Dec. 26.
Once the event is in progress, all participants remain in the designated event category, regardless of any professional standing advancement that may occur while participating in the event.
MindArk will monitor the competition closely to ensure a fair event for all participants. Any violation of the event rules stated here will result in immediate disqualification.
Play responsibly. MindArk strongly recommends that participant's take regular breaks and get an extended rest period after long sessions online.
Event Manager decisions are final.
