Alien Invasion?
Howdy Partner!
Hope everything is going well for you and your townsfolk out in the wilds.
Unfortunately we here in Spawnville have made a discovery.
You see, in the wild lands outside of our western town, we thought the terrain was filled with all kinds of wild animals: cows, pigs, sheep, chickens and rabbits.
It turns out that if you look closely, they are not what they seem. Those wild animals are aliens in disguise!
Now, we aren't quite sure what it is the aliens want or what is going on, but we we do know is that we need to rustle up these wild "animals" and take them out!
When you kill the "aliens in disguise" they will drop some sort of alien remains. Collect all the items you can and when the dust settles (in about 2 weeks) you can bring your items to the bounty board and turn the remains in for prizes.
Now, here is Deputy Gome with more details.
Mobs that look suspicious will have a circle of flames spinning around them. These are the mobs that you'll want to kill in case they're aliens!
Please note that some mobs may have flames around them, despite being people's pets or in an enclosure. Do not kill mobs that are purposefully being kept by a player. If you aren't sure, leave it alone.
Additional note: For the first few days, the server WILL be laggy. This event's primary purpose is to cull the amount of passive mobs that are causing the current occasional lag spike. We'll be increasing the simulation distance to prevent the passive mob issue from happening in the future, but this will make a large number of passive mobs load in, creating a good deal of stress on the server.
