Orcsoberfest 10-10-2019 / Lehula Dohon
Are you in a festive mood? Do you want to party like there is no tomorrow? Then you are in for a treat, as Orcsoberfest is right around the corner!
This celebration involves orgers getting their fill of all the food and beer you could ever dream of, while diligent orcs work tirelessly to ensure that no plate and no stein is ever empty. Gain festive points by engaging in numerous activities, partake in the lottery to have a chance at winning great prizes or try to satiate king Chuck Nourish's voracious appetite in exchange for a reward.
As of server save on October 11, a tent will appear south of Thais. Inside is a teleport which is open to any Premium player, bringing you to Orcsoberfest island. Talk to your friendly neighbourhood orger Xaver first after your arrival or directly engage in the activities if you are not one for conversation.
The festival concludes on October 18. During the weekend after the event (server save on October 18 until server save on October 21) all game worlds will receive a 50% XP boost for creatures of the "demon" bestiary class.
This event takes place twice a year, with the starting date being the second friday of March and October respectively.
As they say on the island, meaning 'Happy festivities!' in Orcish:
Otsaf'tis!

Orcsoberfest 02-10-2019 / Lehula Dohon
These are the recordings of Lagatos, chronicler and scholar extraordinaire.
I have travelled far and seen much in my existence, strange gatherings, exotic customs, events which defy all logic. However, what my gaze fell upon on a remote island in the middle of the deep blue sea ranks among the most outlandish events I bore witness to. Whether this would be beneficial to leave to posterity, I dare not say, but then again, it is not my place to judge these matters. I experience and then I document.
The island is home to a spectacle involving orcs and a lesser-known species called orgers. As their name suggests, they are a crossbreed of orcs and ogres, resulting in much bigger, stronger specimen than the aforementioned creatures. Due to their physical superiority, they mishandle the orcs, who in turn revere the orgers with cultish devotion – lest they get brutalized. The barbaric orgers love nothing more than food and drink and will use any chance given to indulge their insatiable appetite. The most egregious of their excesses takes place in the form of a half-yearly celebration, which some call Orcsoberfest. The name is supposed to stem from the fact that the orcs need to abstain from any alcoholic beverages during this time as they are to serve their overlords. Clearly, this is complete fabrication, as there would be no reason to incorporate words of the human tongue into the name of this event. No, the actual root of this name is preserved in the olden spelling "Orctobbarfest", where "tobbar" is Orcish for 'feast, banquet', "orc-" derives from an ancient prefix "arc-" meaning 'giant, enormous' and "fest" stands for 'time(span), season'. Hence, the term signifies the 'time of the great feast'.
The Orcsoberfest (may the gentle reader forgive me for using the more popular name, despite its folk-etymologic nature) revolves entirely around the Great Gorging. The "games" the brutish orgers partake in serve as thinly veiled excuses to stuff their maws and fill their bellies, while simultaneously harassing the subservient orcs. The orgers' goal is to invoke the essence of exorbitant eating and drinking which at times leads to catastrophic results, as their inebriated state causes many a mishap.
I do not wish to reveal any more of this sheer endless debauchery for now, though I will do so, undoubtedly, in time.

Annual Autumn Vintage 01-10-2019 / Lehula Dohon
The first batch of winterberries is finally ripe. Now it is time to produce some delicious berry juice during the Annual Autumn Vintage, which takes place from October 01-08, and again from October 17-24! Just make sure to take off your shoes and wash your feet before you start the treading!
During the event, winterberries can be looted from various monsters. Collect some of those berries and talk to the trusted member of the Combined Magical Winterberry Society. You will be sent to a secret location, where you can start your treading once enough winterberries have been delivered.
If you need further information about the treading process, just ask Gruffy.
Your world will succeed if enough loads of winterberries are processed in time to temporarily refine all health and mana potions of your world. Their effect will be enhanced by 33% for 7 days in case of success.
Let the stomping begin!
