We are taking our Monrian Born on a field trip adventure to Planet Arkadia. Field trips to other planets are of benefit to our MBs in order to expand their universe experiences, but also to guide them through beginner mission chains to gain skills and rewards and collect TPs for future exploration on their own.

The details for this field trip are as follows:

TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

  • --- you will need the 10k sweat to gain your Arkadia Passport
  • --- the Monrian Born sweat buying program has added another layer to this MB benefit
  • --- when MBs sell their sweat through the MB sweat buying program, they are banking their sweat
  • --- not only for themselves, but also in an effort to help "Pay it Forward" to help other MBs

  • --- Arkadia Citizenship Rules
  • --- DME will distribute the 10k sweat to each MB

  • --- if an MB has a disconnect or logs out after given the 10k sweat and doesn't do the mission chain ...
  • --- they are responsible for returning the 10k sweat to DME ... however ...
  • --- if they say they will complete the Citizenship on their own while on Arkadia during the field trip ...
  • --- then when the field trip has concluded, they must show DME proof of their Arkadia Citizenship
  • --- if proof of completing the Arkadia Citizenship is not presented within a week after the field trip ...
  • --- that MB will no longer be eligible for the MB sweat buying program
  • --- there are no exceptions to the rules
  • we always try to fit in teleporter runs for our MBs to have other locations to explore in the future

We had a really nice group of MBs on this field trip, here is a little photo of some of them already lined up to get their 10K sweat to start the Arkadia Citizenship mission chain, there were more.

Entropia 2020-06-12 20-01-16-54.png

After everyone was taken care of, and I handed out weapons to everyone, Leshrac said he had a gift for me (think it was from more than just him) in appreciation for what I do for the MBs or community or something like that, I was a bit tired at this point and even wondered if I was making any sense. :D

When I traded him, I got the biggest shock and surprise ... I was just about speechless, except for the gazillion OMGs I wrote in the field trip channel ... I still can't believe it.

TAKE A LOOK AT MY NEW RIDE

:thumbsup :jumpclap :thumbsup :jumpclap :thumbsup

I have a lot of buttons to push, and I'm going to push every last one of them. :p

I took it out to show everyone when we got out of the building and on the path doing the citizenship mission chain, but didn't really take it for a test drive yet. I'll see on Saturday whether I can navigate this thing without causing too much property damage on Arkadia. :D

There are no words, except thank you, but even that doesn't sound sufficient enough. This was an enormous surprise for sure and I will cherish it ... I may need you to bail me out though Leshrac (you or Kingu) if I should get into trouble with this thing ... like taking the roof off of one of the apartment buildings, cause a landslide behind a waterfall, or putting a big dent in the Moonshine Bar at Celeste Harbour.

I do what I do because I love what I do, and excited about what else is coming for Monria ... hang in here with us, because I'm sure there will be a surprise or two for you guys along the way ... we will give you the best experiences possible ... it's just a matter of timing.

THANK YOU :purpleheart

Ok, thought I would add some more alien business with the UFO ...

Allen and Avum (sounds like an accounting firm) joined me at Celeste Harbour and the Moonshine Bar to relax a bit after a busy weekend ... Avum decided to do some acrobats on the bar seat and got stuck ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 11-23-41-52.png

Once he got himself out of that predicament, I thought I would give the guys a bit of shade ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 11-28-52-11.png

Turns out, the bottom of the UFO gave a bit of light to the inside of the bar, which Tom Tennant was negligent in tending: :snapoutofit

Entropia 2020-06-14 11-29-59-70.png

Then I figured I would just shade the entire bar area ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 11-32-51-57.png

Avum had other plans ... he wanted to stack the chopper and try to make a Tron I think, like we did at Monria ... that didn't go too well and his chopper just acted as a shell for the UFO ... couldn't get a pic because I couldn't scroll out ... it looked like I was inside the chopper. :angry2

Entropia 2020-06-14 11-31-34-85.png

Then I decided to take them for a ride, along with Light Heaven ... we were heading over water and I mentioned that I hope they had a boat ... no one had a boat and Allen said ... "I think we'll be going for a swim boys" ... or something like that, but then I decided to drop them just outside of the Quarry and make them walk a bit to the TP :p ... but

They were too wise, and while they didn't have boats, they did have land vehicles. :pullingmyhairout... next time. :D

No photos available because they aren't suitable for public consumption ...

that or I don't want to out myself for not thinking of taking them. :rolleyes

On Sunday ... Shadow took several Monrian Born through 4 of the Key 1 Vault instances in Arkadia's Underground ... it was the first time I experienced these as well, but I was just there as a healer ... I hate the Arkadia mob in the Key 1 instance ... they are all over the place and do flips ... also made it difficult to heal, LOL ... but they had fun.

Shadow took us out to the Key 1 Vault site in her fancy Pitbull that happened to blend in with the terrain nicely ... Avum ended up being the lookout ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 12-42-28-59.png

Nice way of presenting a Vault instance:

Entropia 2020-06-14 12-45-17-03.png

The team was ready to go ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 12-46-29-40.png


Yes, THAT mob ... and this was the end boss of sorts I think, and I guess wanted to say hello to me ...

Entropia 2020-06-14 12-54-59-75.png


If I recall correctly, there are 3 levels of these guys, and then at the end, one treasure chest to open up ... a different Monrian Born had an opportunity to open the treasure chest at the end of each of the 4 Vault instances.

Entropia 2020-06-14 12-56-19-92.png

It was a fun time, and I thank Shadow and Malgar for creating and leading the teams that took us all through both the Aakas instances (we did 2 teams through Keys 1, 2 and 3) and the 4 Key 1 Vault instances. It was a crazy weekend, but lots of fun and we had 17 Monrian Borns do the Arkadia Citizenship Passport mission, along with other missions ... they were very productive the entire weekend ... some even did some sweating inside the Aakas instances. :D

We managed to bring our Monrian Born and friends who joined us home safe, or to their destination during the warp schedule on Sunday, and we will be off for another field trip next month to Toulan.

In the meantime, I will be pulling together the June mid-month event thread and posting it sometime on Monday ... the event is next Saturday, and we will now be running our mid-month events for 24 hrs instead of 12 hrs ... it was requested by the community and we saw no reason why we couldn't do it.

Thanks all for helping to make this field trip a lot of fun and very productive. :thumbsup

Ok, I saved the best for last ... a HUGE thank you to:
  • Leshrac for providing all of the instance keys
  • Hrothgar who donated 32 full TT Herman ARK-0 weapons
  • --- they didn't use them because of not being efficient, but I have them to still pass out to the field trippers
  • Deatz and shop partner Hrothgar for extending a discount to all Monrian Born of items at their shop on Arkadia
  • --- this is an ongoing discount, you just need to be able to meet up with Deatz when on Arkadia to make use of it
  • --- they carry all of the ingredients you will need to do the Viceroy armor mission chain
  • Evy for giving the Monrian Born on the field trip a gift of their choice from her Arkadia shop
  • --- there was a list of certain items they could choose from
And a MASSIVE thank you to Leshrac and Kingu and anyone else responsible for gifting me with the UFO ... I had SO much fun with it over the weekend, and now I'll see what kind of mischief I can get into on Monria. :D

This was one of the best field trip weekends of the many we've had, so thank you to all. :purpleheart

I continue to be amazed buy the care, engagement and support of our community members. :thumbsup

As we were getting ready to do the TP run a UFO came and tried to abduct the helicopters..
Entropia 2020-06-13 14.45.59.jpg


But that didn't stop us... We had awesome TP run and caught the sunset

BUT a field trip isn't complete without a couple of crashes :p
Entropia 2020-06-13 20.15.23.jpg


and after we did the Aakas runs we went for a little swim...
Entropia 2020-06-13 23.12.04.jpg


Went to the underground and I found some Smuggler Mech and managed to live long enough to take some pictures... before they had enough of me LOL

This was definitely one of our most active and fun field trips in a while ... let's see if we can equal or top it during our next field trip to Toulan. We will work on putting together a planned agenda that will be fun with more experiences. :)

Yes, no field trip is complete without the craziness, crashes, and now near abductions from a UFO. :p

Next time I'll have Leshrac and Kingu to join me with their UFOs to see if we can complete that mission. :D
