I think they (previous winners) should just get the perma-blessings as was first announced and 1000 credits or so. I don't get how a 2600 artifact is weaker than a blessing (as the reason for the change was because people complained about one, the blessings being too much, and two, people wanting the Seals for the prize).

What I also want to know is if the Seals will have any special side-effects based on their name.

For instance, the Seal of Chaos was known to have some strange effects on Shorlen. (Something about a duck if I remember correctly). I don't know if anybody else got those effects.

They should get 1000 credits and an Aura of that acts like a portable Seal. You can get blessings from it, curse from it and stuff. Also they have a new RP device smile.gif

Any of the Medallion naysayers think I should get 2600 credits if I lose my Medallion, or should winners from previous years basically get nothing that lasts if they don't take the Staff?


I'm completely fine with all Medallion holders(old and new) keeping their medallions in perpetuity.

My only objection is that your medallions shouldn't be able to instakill kethuru mobs. Maybe he adapted or something.

Reasoning? It gives a big advantage to orgs with old seals that are active. Mag has at least 3/4 seal bearers right now: Me, Shamarah, Daevos and Hallen(if he pops up for the ascension) and that's a big advantage for us beyond whatever seals our citizens pick up this year.

If the Medallions are gonna act like beacons for Kethurumobs, can they at least work to instakill the stuff that comes like the old ones do? tongue.gif

I also agree the old seals shouldn't still function in that capacity, mostly because it gives a big advantage to orgs with still-active seal holders, come ascension.

Why should it instakill the stuff being sent to you? Isn't that free gold and experience just for being logged in?
But yeah, doesn't really make much sense the old ones still work.

It's nice. Is going to help me spark some RP. But it's annoying that I can't forge in peace.

The Medallions seem to attract the bloody things, and they hit hard and like to web and prone really fast... At size 1 I contort really fast and the things are still a bitch to kill. tongue.gif

They were made to kill the things instantly because of how much of a pain in the ass the spawns are.

I'm just not keen on having to fight them regularly for the next RL month tongue.gif

I hope the Seal of Beauty winner will be okay. I don't think Amarysse was all that strong when she got it.

Oh, just remembered, old seals still work. So if, eg. Kaervas wins a seal, the things will coalesce and then either pop the same second or if he leaves and enters again.

My seal doesn't instakill them anymore, those creatures should come after sealbearers from last year tongue.gif
