Code / Server Adjustments

1. Pray thrice to Ashur and grab a monkey wrench.
2. Make a new instance OR backup the existing instance and wipe it.
3. Copy over the hero day build, compiled with the flag.

Build Adjustments

• At 3700 ("The Beginning"), load the hero day bot [3783] -- hands PC level-up adjustments, sets up skills.
• Also at 3700 load the other hero day bot [3784] -- transports PCs to VB when PCs type 'readtherules'
• At 3513 (VB Center Square) load the trainer [301] -- he hands out red hero gear
• Somewhere, load hippy hero day bot [22891] -- use verb_prog safe <on/off> to make VB temple & Dantaron/Aragol Streets safe
• Wanderers Leaderboards: either
  • back up info and reset them afterwards (the PK board might see some action!), or
  • disable access to the Wanderer hall (remove exit, set room flags etc)
• Transfer over school.are and quest.are if the hero day bots or quest area stuff has been updated. Likewise for any other area that is being adjusted.

Other

• at some point prior, post announcement to Avendar forum, TMS, TMC, Facebook group (example)
• update MOTD on prod, send note with info to help visitors (game environment/RP is nonstandard for the event)
• when event starts, post followups to the announcements elsewhere notifying that IT HAS BEGUN
• If changing rules helpfiles:
  • re-keyword the rules helpfile (eg usualrules)
  • add 'rules' keyword to the 'hero day' helpfile keywords, change level to -1
