Sorry all, due to unforeseen real-life circumstances this event is being postponed indefinitely. I'm leaving the text up so that I can revive it if there's ever an opportunity in the future, but as of now, it cannot be.
Welcome to Double Agent Saga, a themed series of World PVP cross-realm events with a common premise and storyline.
The Double Agent Saga storyline centers around pandaren twin sisters, Jiàndié and Pàntú, who decide to capitalize on their race's invitation into both the Horde and Alliance factions by getting into the spy-for-hire game. They spy and sell secrets for both sides, but their allegiance remains to Pandaria and to their own family above all else.
All F2P characters from all US realms will be welcome to participate in this series of events, though signup spaces will be limited.
Scenario 1 of the Double Agent Saga series is called Traitor Eliminator! The DA sisters have uncovered major plans, and intend to sell them to one faction for a huge sum, and get out of the spy business. For one faction, this will mean a major advantage in the continuing struggle between the Horde and Alliance, and they will protect that information with their lives! For the other faction, the information would be a devastating blow, and thus the traitor must be found before she can deliver the information, and must be eliminated at all costs!
As with all of the Double Agent Saga scenarios, this scenario utilizes the ruins of The Scarlet Enclave. The general objective of Traitor Eliminator is to find and kill the Double Agent as quickly as possible. Each faction will have a designated starting point on the map. One faction will be given three opportunities to eliminate the spy while the other one protects and defends her, and the best time will be noted. Then, roles will swap and the other faction will be given three tries to beat the first faction's best time. The winner is whichever team ends up with the best time after six total skirmishes.
The Double Agent sisters themselves will be played by me for both factions to ensure equality. They are LEVEL 12 rogues, equally geared in vendor whites. They are spies, not full fledged heroes such as yourselves! Therefore the defenders will have to come up with the best strategies for keeping their Double Agent alive as long as possible. The Double Agent will follow the commands and instructions of their respective faction defense leaders as much as possible, and they will be played in such a way that their own self-preservation is their utmost highest goal.
Here's how this is going to go to get this event started. I'm going to handle things a little different than you've seen them done before, based on observations of what does and does not work.
Step 1: Participant Signup
Signups for the event will open immediately. Please note that it has not been determined yet how many total participants will be going, nor what the group role makeup will be. At this point I am not signing up characters, I am signing up participants. After posting your TI name to sign up, link the character name/race/class and armory you want to sign up with. If you are signing up with more that one character (which will give leaders flexibility in roles) then just include them after your TI name, like this:
Kincaide - Kincaide, human arms warrior : Xiuying, pandaren BM hunter.
Please only include up to TWO maximum characters. I'm not going to determine the exact total number of participants until I see how many people sign up, but I'm shooting for approximately 20v20. This will be decided later, as explained in Part 2 below.
Participants will be expected to be able to get themselves to Light's Hope Chapel. It is the closest flight point to the battlefield, and of course I hope to have folks with 2-seater flyers to help ferry people over the mountains from there. You can run through the tunnel or through Tyr's Hand if you want, but you'll die several times and no one wants that. If you don't have the flight point to LHC yet, I recommend you get it. It's not too hard, and we will not be picking people up from any other location.
Step 2: Choose Faction Leaders
I will announce before signups close, and once they do, each faction will have to choose a leader from among their participants. Those leaders will have to work together to agree on their recommendations for group composition, max number of a given class, etc. When the two leaders agree, they'll give me their recommendations, but the final decision will be mine, so that if the two faction leaders can't agree, I will still be able to put on an event. The participants should tell the leaders what they want, and then the leaders will work with each other and pass that along to me.
The faction leaders will also be the person to whom the Double Agent sisters will listen to for instruction during the battles.
Step 3: Event Day
My current target day for the event is Saturday, May 25th, 12pm Pacific / 3pm Eastern. Everyone will be expected to be at LHC a half hour before the event AT THE LATEST, as we will NOT be able to pick up stragglers. As soon as both teams are assembled, I plan on having both teams cross-realm-jump to another server, known only to me, to virtually eliminate the possibility of interference. Obviously, as with all CRWPvP events, I will need the help of P2Ps with 2-seaters to get the event started. If you are willing to help, please PM me privately. I give public kudos to helpful friends.
I think that covers everything for now. I will update this post and also post in the thread alerting to changes to this post as they come up. If you have questions, please feel free to ask here. I hope everyone will have a great time, and remember this is only the first of several scenarios I have planned for this setting.
