GM controlled boss mobs

[Raefon]

Latest events have been amazing (thank you staff of UOSA!) and it has been a blast trying to solve the puzzles Boomland has come up with.

I recall on OSI one of the very first server event I attended was an Orc town invasion on Vesper and GMs controlled some of the mobs there.

You knew it was a GM character because he talked and ran away from the defenders (at speeds my dialup then could not achieve). Ultimately when we were all hitting him, he logged off (lulz).

Not sure if this has been discussed before but to what extent can this be applied here? A town invasion led by GMs would be much more engaging then fighting npcs all day!

At the end of every major story and at certain storyline peaks I've played the role of certain NPCs. I've done it both present and semiAFK. You'd be shocked what can be done using GM commands and Razor.

Thank you for the feedback on the events. I put a good amount of time into them - both planning and execution. As long as people keep showing up, I'll keep things interesting.

I was wondering why mister Moorhead 1 shot killed me on my stat PK.

One does not simply attack named mobs on a stat PK and come out regretting it at least once. Be wary of the uniquely named...

He attacked me first

Not sure if it's pushing buttons or serious, but what I can say is that I've never possessed (taken control of) any NPC during the Captain McPry storyline, to which Vega is referencing (Nathaniel Moorehead). The last time I controlled a boss monster (during global events) was during Dark Secrets.

It was only said in jest, if you're referring to what I said.

Abusing GMs usually results in a ban.

I was referring to everything Vega said about being one shotted by a named NPC and just adding extra (probably unnecessary) details about GM controlled monsters in these events.
