Hero Day

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
  • remove the one-way north exit to [3768]
  • load the hero day bot [3783]. This handles the level-up adjustments, skills, and language, and transports PCs to a readtherules check [bot 3784 in room 3792] that will in turn transport PCs to VB temple

• At 3499, the Var Bandor Temple
  • load the trainer [301] -- he hands out red hero gear
  • load hippy hero day bot [22891] -- use verb_prog safe <on/off> to make VB temple & Dantaron/Aragol Streets safe for training / resurrecting

• At 13640/41/43, the Wanderers Leaderboards
  • 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)

Other

• make up backup of rumors
• 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
