Spring Festival of the Elves!

Greetings,

In the center of the verdant woodlands, the time has come to celebrate the Spring Festival of the elves. As winter's chill recedes, the earth reawakens with a slow and quiet symphony of new life, signaling an end to the season of slumber. Flowers unfurl their petals in a kaleidoscope of colors, and the forest canopy is dappled with the fresh green of new leaves. This festival heralds the rebirth of the land, a time when nature's abundance is embraced and cherished. The elves, guardians of the natural world, extend their invitation to all beings to partake in the revelry, sharing in the joy and abundance of the season. It's a time of harmony and renewal, where the promise of the coming year is celebrated under the canopy of an awakening world.

 

From April 12th Friday to April 19th Friday the Spring Festival of the Elves will be active.

During that time a festival will be held in the Ab'dendriel gardens, full of wine and music. There will be tables of feast and upon eating from that table you will become empowered from it's delicious wholesomeness. The status you gain will be random from a buffet of possibilities and will last three hours from the time you eat; you must figure out what empowerment the eating of the feast gives you; you will not know when the status expires via a notification, you must realize it yourself. You may eat from the table of feast three times each day, but you may only eat after the current status has worn off.  


Empowerments from eating:

u Health Pool Boost                25%
u Mana Pool Boost                 100%
u Health Regen Boost             15 Health-Points per second
u Mana Regen Boost               2 Mana-Points per second
u Healing Boost                     25%
u Damage PVE Boost              15%
u Capacity Pool Boost            250%



To a good Spring,
Dura Staff

Easter is upon us!

And the days will run with rabbits...

 

The following will happen between March 29th Server Saveto April 1st Server Save:


Wabbit Season!
You know how those furry cuddly wuddly fuzzy wuzzy little creatures can mate mate mate and duplicate. Well get ready for rabbits galore across the forests and towns of Dura; (whispering) and they just might have some goodies better than carrots inside. And there just might be a prize for the person who kills the most wabbits this season. Oh and this year there might be more than your average rabbit... Results will be posted after Easter is over.


Easter Egg Hunt anyone? Or maybe Easter Egg Riddle Hunt?
Get ready for games, fun, and events the whole weekend as Gamemasters and Community Managers will have impromptu moment to moment fun for everyone. Prizes of all shapes and sizes for puzzles of all flavors and wises.


And wait a minute.. what about the Easter Bunny?
I've heard of him before I swear. Well he just might pop in, and he might hop around the land without end and he just might be a bit bigger than you expected. I wonder what he carries with him as he hops down the bunny trail?


On Sunday, March 31st, at 14:30 EST the Easter Hare will hop and bounce through the lands of Dura.

u The Easter Hare this year will have four good hops in him before he can hop no more.
u Easter Rabbits will proliferate, one for every person in the area, when the Easter Hare is trapped and killed.
u Easter Rabbits will be creatures which when killed will have spoils and treats that would match hopping all over the continent.


Happy Easter,
Dura Staff

To the Frontlines...

-

In the tumultuous world of Dura, where the air is thick with the promise of battle and the scent of magic weaves through the lands, the call for heroes has never been more dire. As darkness encroaches, consuming the light in its voracious embrace, a clarion call resonates across the varied terrains—from the mystic forests of the elves to the stalwart keeps of the dwarves. It is in this epoch of uncertainty, as the fabric of peace frays at the edges, that leaders, once content to orchestrate the dance of war from the safety of their command posts, step forth. These venerable figures, clad in armor that whispers tales of ancient valor, grip their swords not just as weapons but as extensions of their resolve. They march to the frontlines, embodying the hope and defiance of their people, ready to look into the maw of their adversaries and see the reflection of their determination in the blood-stained gaze of their foes.



During this event all monsters in Dura that are non-raid will have the frequency of being an Elite, and therealso a Legendary version, substantially raised. From rats to oozes.


Start: Friday Server Save March 15th 2024.
End: Tuesday Server Save March 19th 2024.


Regards,
Dura Staff
