Before the game starts the check-in will be at the gates. During the game, check-in will be handled at the organizers HQ. If you arrive during the game, the organizers may not have the time to check you in right away. You must wait in the Valhalla until you can be checked in.
There will be no downtimes (i.e. camps can always be attacked etc.). The contests between hosts will be held during specific time periods as noted in this timetable. There will be no official contests outside those time frames. As usual the roleplaying part will be active throughout the whole event. Maybe less so during mornings and host contests and more so during evenings but as a rule the roleplaying starts with the opening ritual and ends with closing ritual.
Each host contest will be announced with a call to arms - a specific repeating drum roll played by the Disciples of The Dragon. Each camp or player that chooses to answer the call must gather in the central white zone immediately. The call will be repeated but contest briefing will start within 15 minutes from the first drum roll. If you intend to take part in the contests, you should be ready to move out quickly during the time periods that calls are likely to happen.
Arriving before the official check-in on Thursday @17:00
- Early arrivals are NOT allowed to roam the game area!
- If you arrive early and are not part of a build team you MUST remain in the out-of-game area.
- If you are part of a build team you MUST remain in the vicinity of your camp - you CAN NOT "visit" other build sites or make use of the general in-game area.
If you are new to Nordic Equinox then we must emphasize that this regulation is NOT OPTIONAL. We will be very busy, we will not socialize with you, help you with your gear or with directions, etc. We will FIRMLY inform you that you have to vacate the game-area.
You can explore and sight-see to your hearts content during the event. During set-up your presence will be extremely disruptive and treated as such! Please take this into consideration when planning to arrive early!
