well i wish you luck on this event, i do know however that you will not be
seeing mayong unless a gm takes control of him and brings him out to play.
Mayong is currently in the game, albeit in an area which is not reachable by
players due to pathing problems. there was a huge thread a while back on the
kunark message board about "mysteries of norrath" and somone posted a quote
from one of the verant people saying we couldn't get to mayong.
I guess one possiblity is that if mayong is somewhere in the zone in reach
of an aoe spell/song you might tag him that way and get him to come out, but
i would guess that is not the case.there is always a chance that a gm could
show up with him however, so good luck. either way it sounds like fun.

>nobody has to zone out due to a train. In order to meet this goal, here is
>what I have in mind:
>
>Lake area: Three groups in the low 20s to control the spawns in the lake
>area and between the lake and graveyard.
>Graveyard: Two groups. One group in the mid 20s to control the graveyard.
>One group in the low 20s to pull from the path between the lake and
>graveyard.
>Secret room behind crypt: One group in their low-mid 30s
>Courtyard: Two groups in the mid-high 30s to control all the spawns in that
>area plus the ramp leading up to the castle.
>Castle: At least four groups 40-50 to control the entire castle. This
>requirement is open to suggestion because I'm not high enough level to know
>what it takes to control the house.
>Reserve: One group (levels TBD) on standby to assist any group in need.
>Healers: A couple of clerics not in a group on standby to give EXP resses
>to anyone who needs it.
>
>Here's the kicker to keep it in line with the storyline: whenever possible,
>each group has at least one bard in it. Of course if your regular group of
>six doesn't include a bard then you don't have to break up your group. As
>an alternative, there will be bards there not in a group to temporarily
>join
>with a group after a combat to help them regen mana faster (assuming no
>enchanter in the group). Once mana regen is complete bard can disband and
>6th person can rejoin.

>Proposed date: 15 January 2000, starting at 3PM CST. Official time/date

>Known constraints: 1) Mistmoore is known to be a buggy zone so not really

>Feedback: Request players with lots of experience fighting inside the
