Another? Gasp! The event that happened today wasn't the Masquerade Ball; it wasn't related to it at all.

Nope. I did not endorse the other event which happens to bear some similar naming to the original and longest running event in Guild Wars (though I certainly don't have an ill feelings towards the event that took place today) The event that happened today was in no way related to the Ascalon Royal Family Masquerade Ball, which this sealed envelope may or may not be an invitation to.

What? @_@

This event hasn't happened yet

lol


The event that happened on March 26th wasn't the Ball. It was a completely different event created by someone else that just happened to have a masquerade theme.

Here are the past Ascalon Royal Family Masquerade Ball events: (again, which this sealed envelope may or may not be an invitation to said event...)

The ARFMB is the longest running community event in the game. It may or may not be making a return this year for one huge epic finale. All of the community hosts may or may not be working on organizing it, and it may or may not be the grandest event in GW history.

Not to rain on your parade but...

ARFMB year 1: May 5th, 2007
Mursaat Rally year 1: April 14th 2007

Last I checked, May comes after April, so Mursaat Rally, now called MantleCon (because the reason behind the old name was no longer needed), is older by about a month. ARFMB is second to MantleCon.

Technically speaking, Mursaat Rally no longer takes place. MantleCon also has a different concept behind it. Technicalities win! I'll just start putting the word "original" into the disclaimer.

Also, you guys might want to check the second post in the thread soon-ish.

Even now being on staff for MantleCon, I'd have to argue that the ARFMB has endured in its original design far better than MantleCon.

Though it is awesome to say the intentions of the original Mursaat rallies turned out to be a success

Maybe we should clean up this thread when the promotions go public. Don't want everyone thinking we're obnoxious

Indeed. I concur (though we are all obnoxious... lol)

I'm actually just going to start another thread and have a mod close this when the time comes.

Guys, guys... lets not fight, all of the community events are equally wonderful, it doesn't matter which event is the oldest, grandest or most enduring! I say we all get together for a movie and let bygones be bygones!

Hooray! Also, we weren't fighting. I was just goofing around posting that silly "event" I hosted. Oh the times so many years ago, when we'd announce events and get togethers in Ascalon City or LA... 10 minutes before we had them. Oh the memories, lol.

Also, see the second post for the video link! HOORAY! The Ascalon Royal Family Masquerade Ball returns one last time.

Hmm...seems to require an account to watch, which is strange. I've watched a few things on blip without needing an account.
