Latest revision as of 06:41, 5 April 2024

On the official Veloren server, there are several special events throughout the year. They can be a fun time to play the game and see what developments have happened, fight seasonal NPCs for their unique loot, or collaborate and compete with fellow players.

Announcements and details for these events are most readily available in the Discord channels for news and events. Recaps of larger events are often included in the Dev Blogs.

See you there :)


Release Parties

Each major release for the game is accompanied by a release party on the official server to celebrate the developments that have been undertaken. The festivites take place at a custom, hand-crafted region of the map, where big PvE fights take place, as well as other Community activities. Many community members and developers come along for release parties, and anyone can join in by using teleporation commands that are temporarily available for the event. The more players online, the better, as these parties also serve as a useful stress test of the server.

Release parties typically last for a few hours, with the first hour or so live streamed. Activities like Treasure Hunts can last well past the party itself.


Seasonal

Some parts of the year can be more fun than others, so Veloren changes its flavour to join in. After all, why let the real world have all the fun?

So far, this includes restyling aspects of the world, and spawning specialty NPCs that have unique Item drops. For the collectors out there, don't worry - seasonal items are only unique to their event, not the specific year they take place.

For some of the technicalities, see calendar.rs
