Event Mechanics

  • All events are 100% random (other than Coop Shoot), and do not rely on player reflexes, player ping, player stats or skills
  • These events are meant to be fun, random, and whimsical and any player participating has an equal chance of winning as any other player
  • If a player is in the middle of any King’s Faire event and either a server reboot or crash occurs, the player will be fully refunded their current event’s ticket amount when the server reboots

Event Types
Events at the King’s Faire fall into two categories: “Best Score” and “Victory Count”

Best Score Events

  • Best Score events cost 2 Tickets to play

  • When a player competes in a Best Score event, at the end of the event they will be given a score
  • If a player’s score beats their own previous best score, it will become their new best score, and will be displayed on the scoreboard
  • Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard

Victory Count Events

  • Victory Count events cost 1 Ticket to play
  • Players can play each of these individual events up to 10 times per day (per IP address)
  • For most Victory Count events, players will either Win or Lose the event, with wins increasing the player’s cumulative scoreboard value for the event by 1
  • For some events like Dunk Tank, players have the potential to earn multiple “wins” by dunking the target multiple times in a single event
  • Players can click the “Show My Player” button to see where they are currently at on the scoreboard
