Official Info for upcoming event - The Great Scroll Hunt

Post by Gilby3000 on Wed Oct 07, 2009 1:53 pm

On Parallel Kingdom's one year anniversary, Halloween, October 31st, a huge event will begin, called the Great Scroll Hunt Extravaganza! The Scroll Hunt will be a global contest involving everyone in PK, which will let 4 lucky players decide when the Age of Emergence launches. These same four players will also be the builders of the Great Library and the founders of the new Age.

Here's the link to view the Scroll Hunt trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po0MrvJS1SM

Seriously, watch the trailer. It's really cool :)

How do you get to be one of these lucky four, you ask? Well, you just have to find a scroll. Read below for more info...

  • The servers will be going down for a few hours prior to the Scroll Hunt. When they come back up on Halloween, the Scroll Hunt will begin
  • The Scrolls will be found (beginning Oct 31st) via random creature drops. All types of creatures will have the ability to drop scrolls
  • Scrolls will be EXTREMELY rare so don't get frustrated if you don't come across one
  • Higher level creatures (i.e., Vicious and Epic) will have a much higher chance of dropping a scroll than lower level monsters
  • Scrolls will not drop on the ground, they will go directly to the inventory of the character that inflicted the final attack
  • As soon as someone gets a scroll in their inventory, their avatar will have a visible glow. They will continue to glow even if they drop their scroll or if someone else is carrying their scroll.
  • The scroll will automatically be signed by the player that received it. This signature is permanent and cannot be changed even if they drop the scroll or if it is in someone else's inventory
  • Players will only be able to discover one scroll each (Creatures will not drop a second scroll to the same player)
  • Eventually, 4 scrollbearers will have to come together in one place and transfer all the scrolls to one person who will then be able to build the Great Library
  • Wherever the Great Library is built is where it will exist for the rest of PK
  • Only one Great Library will be able to be built. The four players with signatures on the scrolls that are used to construct the Great Library will be documented within the Great Library for all to see as the founders of the Age of Emergence
  • More than 4 scrolls can exist. They will continue to drop randomly until the Great Library begins construction
  • The best estimation from the PK scholars is that the Great Library will be under construction for 2-4 days. After this, the servers will go down, the game will be updated (this will take a few days), and then Parallel Kingdom - Age of Emergence will become available in the App Store and Android Market

Good luck everyone and Happy Hunting!

**UPDATE**
We have narrowed down the official times of the Great Scroll Hunt. The servers will be going down at 11pm, October 30th. The exact time that the game will be available again is a little flexible, as all content updates go. Right now, our estimate is 2-4 hours. We will post on the Update Hut when the servers are up and running and the Scroll Hunt begins. (All times are U.S. Central Time)

There is a time frame from when they get to pick the release right?

Also are pk 3.0 testers in this?

Scrolls are extremely rare... Is it like Kingdom of Loathing? That's not rare there, that's obscure. Here it's just a normal drop rate?

Still curious to find out if there will be a one time fee for the new age and how much. I will not be willing to pay a monthly subscription although would tolerate a low one time payment.

Sounds like the drop rate will be like the drop rate of leather....seriously, why can't I ever get leather?!
