It is a staged fight anyway, since the thieves know exactly where the caravan is.
At that time, it'd be best not to join that group as a low level trader/hunter.
The GM killing will also be a problem if they don't make themselves invalid targets.


It'd probably make more sense to introduce the long awaited changes to the trade system, then make a week or two of +200% profit.

Sounds like an interesting event. I think it said players of any level can join. I probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes as a thief since I'm only lvl 54. The very first hunter that sees me would probably be lvl 100+ and 1-hit me with a single punch.

I agree though, the GMs should make themselves invalid targets.

So anyone participated yet?

Couldnt participate in Athens, event happened right while i was at work. When i logged it was already done.

Curious to see how much people are participating, and to see GMs. So any screens from any server?

Event Fail... communication is horrible imo. They said to meet the thief GM at Bandit Den. I ran around the entire area, not a single person in sight. I got a feeling they posted the wrong spot or something. I gave up after 10 mins of searching. Traders found the trade GM right away since he was hanging out by the teleport in const...

Nice to see that they are trying to keep the game fun. These were things we were asking for in the past. But I have to agree with Goseki since these GMs don't seem to know how to effectively plan an event.
