“These manaworldians are greedy, they always have been, and this can be used for my advantage. just wait and see ...” ─ Zax De'Kagen


During Christmas 2023, Zax De'Kagen began interfering with the world (with visible effects as early as December 1st). When the event started, he left behind several disturbances which would need to be sealed off with money.

There was 22 disturbances in 22 different maps, including maps normally inaccessible. Each disturbance required a different amount of money to be sealed and gave a different prize. The event was pre-generated randomly and with obfuscation on server startup, making very difficult or even impossible for TMW Staff (including those with root or physical access) to know precisely the disturbance locations or their rewards.

The event would produce a "negative" score of 1 point per unclosed disturbance, and 3 points per disturbance closed by someone's alt. A too high negative score could allow Zax De'Kagen to besiege the world again with a reduced experience rate (causing less experience to be earned overall until Zax is dealt with ─ if he's not dealt with, he might cause harm to the world, forcing several shops out of business or even destroying houses and sealing off areas). However, closing sufficient disturbances (without alts) could prevent the experience reduction, and even have the opposite effect on the experience rate.

The score was calculated manually based on GM Logs.
