These events people join from all angels left right up down, u name it. These are funsz Idk if whiteGM maybe you ever played or attended one old school fight.
Old school sounds boring but you know what I mean. The fights in arena to death, all counts, lol.
Any one in the game would join because they knew they were rewarded for something and even if you had no items at all you mighta joined.
Like myself I would join as complete n0b that I am srs, and have hopes of winning because I felt I could do it but i obviously didnt l0zl..
And these were frequent so then I learned to hunt for my items in darkelf pit etc..
