Aetolia is turning 25 soon – celebrate!

Hi folks,

October marks Aetolia’s 25th birthday! We’ve put together a month of games, tournaments, contests and celebrations, including a full 48-hour Great Hunt weekend. Whether you enjoy combat, crafting, cooking, riddles or a friendly game of cards, there should be something for you to join in with as we celebrate a quarter of a century of Aetolia!

All dates and times below are in GMT but you can use the EVENTS command to see accurate timings. Please double-check your CONFIG TIMEZONE setting, especially if you live somewhere that observes daylight saving time as it may have drifted as a result. Once the events are listed, EVENTS INFO will show the time converted for your timezone.

Placement prizes and celebration points will be detailed in the individual event listings. Some events use different reward structures, so please check their details!
