Ebon Gate

[Tilarium]

Anyone hear if Ebon Gate this year is going to have an auction? Might return for a month if it does.

[Gweneivia]

It is not. I was told not to expect an auction this year or next.

[Anothi]

With the loss of 2 GM's. I suspect EG to take a bomb in services.

[Kronius]

That's a pretty big bummer, here's to hoping it doesn't suck

[Xaerve]

Will be a complete waste of time and money I think.

[Kembal]

I dunno. Those runestaff flares look awesome if you play a pure that uses one.

[Kitsun]

Runestaff using pures should definitely attend. The grounds are all new this year, so all the games, storylines, and events will be new as well. The revised Trick-or-treat should be badass. I would go for that alone, but for some it may not be worth it.

Mmm... lets see.... $40 to reactivate. $44 for just Til to go. $200 to become a warrior again. Auction would have gotten be to divert the funds, but no auction, I'm not sure.......

[Back]

Bought #16 for one char.

[Rimalon]

I'm probably gonna go before I close down my account for a bit.

The runestaff shit is win.

Of course, if I would win a glamour tattoo... I'd probably start playing again.

RIM COULD FINALLY REALIZE HIS DREAM OF BEING A WOMAN.

[Corli]

Stupid question, but.. what exactly is a glamour tattoo, as opposed to a regular one?

[Rimalon]

When you rub the tattoo, it changes all your features for a set amount of time, customized to whatever you want it to be.

You can also be extremely illegal with the alters... and it's awesome.

[Corli]

Ooh, that sounds pretty nifty!

Stupid question, but.. what exactly is a glamour tattoo, as opposed to a regular one?

Just for reference... here's mine when it's active:

You see Magister Raelee Svala the Academic.
She appears to be a Human from Chastonia.
She is shorter than average and appears to be young.
She has a gold-sparked, hot white glow radiating from her eyes and a faintly luminous aura across her milky white skin. She has long, vivid red hair in a constant state of motion, loose ringlets wafting lightly on a sourceless breeze. She has a softly-angled, slender face and a preternatural, porcelain-like countenance. Low, niveous flames flare to life around her hands and creep up her forearms before ebbing away to nothingness.
She has a faint angular pattern tattooed in gold along her upper arms, an inky black sigil on her wrist, and a complex gold circular tattoo on the back of her right hand.

The inky black sigil is the glamour tattoo. There's no customization options on the tattoo itself (and it has to go in one of the standard tattoo slots)... but everything else is totally open.

As I recall, it'll stick around for about 3 hours if you don't manually turn it off. And it'll "pulse" about every 15 minutes giving some messaging that relates to your features.

Wow... that's really awesome.

[Corli]

That is seriously awesome! I bet that's highly sought after!

Thanks for sharing the description (which is groovy, by the way)!

[Shimeria]

Anyone else have a glam tat they can share?
Love how yours looks Raelee!

[Cusack]

too broke..

[Asha]

Has it always been 44 dollars? I don't remember laughing out loud the last time I saw the price.

[B4Hand]

I am so excited for this years EG, with the new grounds and everything. I think the price is steeper than it has been in the past, however.

[Elvenlady]

Has it always been 44 dollars? I don't remember laughing out loud the last time I saw the price.

It used to be $40 ($36 for premium). So I'm guessing it's inflation and all that jazz.

[MotleyCrew]

Those are regular prices, for premie it's actually $40, $50, $60 and $70.

But yes, the prices did go up, I believe they posted some time back that they would inflate this year.

[Drew]

It was 30 bucks for a long time.
