Premium Fest 5123: Return to the Iyo Grove

I had previously announced that “Premium Fest” would be referred to as the “Isle of Four Winds Craft Faire” going forward, largely so that I could have an in-character, in-game name for the event. We’re rolling that back for this year, though, and I will be introducing a new bit of Iyo lore that will give us an in-character ‘name’ for Premium Fest going forward. For this year, though, we’re officially titling it, “Premium Fest 5123: Return to the Iyo Grove.”
We’re going to be starting off at 8pm EST on Friday the 26th of May, and finishing up at 11:45pm EST on Tuesday the 30th of May. There will be RP activities daily, with the exception of Tuesday. Friday night’s RP activities will set the stage for the subsequent days, and give an idea of the schedule so that people can plan. I will be trying to have events in the early afternoon, EST, to try and give people as much of a chance to play along as I can. Fair warning, this is not really a ‘storyline’ as it is a celebration, with “stuff to do” for the players on each day.
We have a fairly large number of services/raffles this time around, and as always they run the gamut in terms of value. I think we probably have something for everyone (or close, anyway).
The automated games will be returning, and there are prizes to be won. Scarcity/value remains largely in line with what was offered last year. There are some pretty nice things in the Jackpot feeder, though they’re not on the level of Mania items or anything of the sort. Still, feel free to come take a swing!
The Wermwagon will be making its final appearance this year, with all new “Wermth” to be won. Get them this year before they get put back on a shelf! The runestaff lathe will similarly be available for those looking to play around with that.
This festival’s storyline/celebration will be somewhat lore-intensive, as we’re going to learn a good amount about the Iyo through the course of the festival. This is a celebration of togetherness, where the Iyo traditionally look back at the year that’s past, then look at present times, and then look to the future together. Expect a few surprises, and hopefully a good time!
