Another cut-throat test

UPDATE: Note that we've changed the time to 3:30pm NZ time (which is 75 minutes after I'm doing this edit) because 0.9.8f is taking longer to prepare than predicted.

We're going to run a 90 minute private cut-throat test at 3:30pm NZ time today. I'll post the league password in this thread. Please post here to register your interest.

0.9.8f will be deployed beforehand to introduce some changes.

There will be a longer event tomorrow morning, NZ time. I'll post about that in the Beta Status forum.

Rules are:
- This is a separate short-duration league that has its own stash (as usual). At the end of the event, characters and stashed items will be moved to Default.
- There's a PvP damage multiplier on levels below 15 because players start with a lot more life than they do damage. This multiplier will be adjusted substantially based on feedback from this event and others.
- Players are hostile by default to players who are not in their party.
- You can ctrl+click on the entrance to an area to use the Instance Management screen to manually enter any other player's instance of an area.
- The maximum party size is still 6.
- Cut-throat instances can hold a maximum of 12 players. This means that a full party is not safe because another party can invade them.
- This test is not a hardcore league. When you die, you lose the normal experience penalty for your difficulty plus 10% of your current level. You also drop all inventory and equipped items. Your flasks, skill gems (even ones in your inventory) and quest items are not dropped.
- If you were killed by another player, your lost experience is awarded to them.
- If you attempt to abruptly leave the game in a non-town instance, you have to wait 5 seconds and are unable to move or use flasks.
- The grace period of invulnerability upon entering an area is 10 seconds. This should start once the player is mostly done loading.
- Non-partied players only show up on the map if they're nearby.
- When someone enters your area, it just says "Someone" has entered, not who they are.
- League password is m391ndlq

I'm up for it. Though i wish it was longer, I understand this is to test
The last league was a lot of fun - count me in.
posting to see time difference
I'll play. :)

Do we need a special invite, or will the league just appear in 2 hours?

Question.. I didn't play in the first one. It says when you die you drop your stuff.. does that many anyone can grab it? Like if I am in a group, and get shot from long range, could one of my teammates grab my gear?
