As an addendum to the earlier post regarding tiered tickets:
As of today, Platinum tickets will only be offered at the base price, where the single ticket purchase will allow account-wide access (read: all of your characters may enter) to the festival in the Platinum instance only.
If you purchased a ticket already for Platinum -- have no fear! -- full access to that instance will be in effect without your having to do anything extra.
Enjoy!

Dateline 8/25/2008: GRAND BALL ANNOUNCED TO HERALD OPENING OF GUARDIAN KEEP!
Author: GS4-ALYIAS
Date: 8/25/2008 12:47:04 AM
King Tyrnian Vaalor is pleased to announce a royal ball on the occasion of the newly-renovated Guardian Keep. Due to the importance and scale of this event, the elven king will magnanimously allow all members of the populace to attend.
Guardian Keep, long an emblem of Ta'Vaalor's might and majesty, had been long closed to the public. King Tyrnian has expressed hopes that the opening of the keep allows the general population to more closely experience the glory of his people.
All guests are expected to dress in formal attire. Slovenly appearance or behavior shall not be tolerated.
The ball will be held on Feastday, the 20th day of Imaerasta, in the year 5108 (September 20th - Prime). An encore of the ball will be held on Restday, the 21st day of Imaerasta, in the year 5108 (September 21st - Platinum). For both evenings, the ball will commence at 9:00 PM, ET.

I am tickled to announce a staffing change that I believe will bring a real spark to our Towns and Communities team:
GM Hadlir is joining us as the new and official guru of Ta'Illistim!
Elves beware.. er, I mean... be joyful and celebrate!
GM Soraya is moving to the Events, Promotions, and Platinum team. Her passion for events makes her a welcome asset to that awesome bunch.
Congrats to both GMs on their new positions!

You tap your invar volcano pin and fiery red sparks and grey ash come out of the top!
You are fondly reminded of home.

Platinum.... For Free? You Want It, You Got It!
Author: GS4-KAIKALA
Date: 7/5/2008 5:53:07 AM
For the time period of July 1st through August 31st, experience Platinum and all that our community has to offer... for free!
Our main focus, both player and staff, in GSIV Platinum is providing interaction and a sense of unique adventure to each one of you, ultimately recreating that first-time magic of entering Elanthia as an on-going experience for you and your characters. Immerse yourself in stories -- from frightening liches and mirth-filled tavern gossip to delightful murder mysteries and intriguing tales of fishermen -- tailored to your character, community, and environment! Platinum offers a great deal of unique content including the Portal Travel System, a weekly Darts Tourney, and more!
Starting off in a new place can be a bit overwhelming, so we strongly suggest posting on the forums to find a friendly Plat player to refer you (you'll need to post their account name as your referrer) and act as a mentor of sorts to help get you acclimated to the community there and answer your questions about "the rules" for Plat (such as, "What's the deal with these portals?" and "Why should I let people know where I'm hunting before I go hunting?") -- post there and you should have no problems getting the help you need! Also, get a map, dammit! (tm).
Think it's time to explore the amazing characters and world of Elanthia from a whole new perspective? Come and rediscover imagination and adventure with us!
Note that the two month free summer trial offer is only valid for GemStone customers who have not had an active Plat subscription within the last 6 months.

Warcamp/Society Updates
Author: GS4-COASE
Date: 3/28/2008 12:57:04 AM
The following updates have been made to warcamp/society systems:
-The ability to leave a warcamp simply by logging off and then back on immediately has been curtailed. Players who die all alone in a warcamp will be ejected by the Grimswarm via an alternate method.
-Generation rates inside the warcamps have been slightly lower. They will continue to be monitored and adjusted, as necessary.
-The regeneration rate of destroyed warcamps has been significantly lowered, particularly in Platinum.
-Grimswarm population growth rates and maximum population sizes have been halved (Platinum only). Any warcamps currently above the new maximum population will remain at their current levels until they are culled down to the new maximum level.
-The perception level of the Grimswarm guards has been lowered.
-The frequency with which the Grimswarm cast Major Ewave has been lowered. In addition, only elementally aligned Grimswarm will be able to cast Major Ewave.
-The overall abilities of the Grimswarm creatures have been readjusted somewhat, with the non-casting Grimswarm creatures in particular gaining a new ability and damage/stun resistance.
-The use of mass effect spells in a warcamp now carries the chance of causing a bad magical interaction with the mystical shrouds that surround and permeate each Grimswarm warcamp. The chance of a bad interaction occuring is particularly high near the entrance of a warcamp, with the chance diminishing further into the warcamp. Repeated use of mass effect spells within a short time frame increases the chance of a bad interaction occurring. Particularly powerful mass effect spells (such as Mass Ewave, Nature's Fury, Song of Disruption, Implosion, and such) are particularly susceptible to causing bad interactions.
As noted above, generation rates have been adjusted to partially compensate for the new risk to mass spell usage, and will be closely monitored and further adjusted if need be.
-The RT cost for using the Sigil of Location has been reduced from 8 seconds to 3 seconds. The sigil will now also note whether or not a warcamp is in the general vicinity.
-The chalkboard of reported warcamp locations will now also display the room name that the warcamp has been spotted in.
-A number of other bugs with warcamp/new society have been fixed, including the ability to use Ewave to locate warcamps, the ability to cause warcamp population reduction by simply leaving and coming back repeatedly, extremely high/low rescued NPC levels, the mix-up between heads and other items in the item retrieval tasks, and other minor issues.

Last Chance for Platinum Trials
Author: GS4-KHALADON
Date: 9/13/2007 2:13:35 AM
The three month ones anyway. On Monday, September 17th, we'll revert back to our normal one month trials, so this is your final opportunity, until next summer.
In the coming weeks, we have a special Platinum only storyline and auction planned, and if you hurry, a chance to transfer Premium Points over to Platinum for your immediate use.
For those who signed up earlier, please note that in the coming days and weeks, you need to cancel your trial subscriptions or extra characters, else when your next billing cycle comes around, you will be charged for them. Please do any housekeeping as soon as you can.
GemStone Platinum offers a more in-depth environment due to its amazing community, and once you wander in, it's hard to ever wander out. They will hook you in, and keep you coming back. To sign up for a free 90-day trial, head over to http://www.play.net/gs4/news.asp?id=65.
Your last chance for this trial is soon! Do it today!
