OrbusVR Farewell Event Schedule

Announcements
1

As the dust has settled on the news we wanted to share the upcoming plan for the farewell events inside of Orbus we will be running. I’ve listed them in order with a short description to make it easier to keep track of. We will have additional details on the specific events when we get closer to the date. I hope to see everyone in game throughout the coming months, and especially on the Final Farewell party on the 6th!

PS: We are going to be in game more in the coming months, just popping in to play and experience the game with everyone else while we can. If you see us in game be sure to say hi and hang out with us. We will try sending out a server side notification in game when we jump in.

  • February 6th 2025- DLC- Secrets of Mugwood open to all players
    • When we restart the server on the 6th, if you have not purchased the DLC it will automatically unlock for you, giving you the quest and shrink ray needed to play.

Please move the DLC event on Feb 22nd as it conflicts with the February contest that is being run. The Orbus community would greatly appreciate it

Does the legendaries drops only count for world drops or do they also count for +7’s and +6’s? and is it possible to remove the weekly cap on raids or make it a daily thing just to have a couple more hardmodes before the appocylpes

It’d also be really cool to unlock all of the transmogs in every players closet after the final client patch

Hey Lance of the Highsteppe Press here.
I think it would be really fun if you added a BIG RED BUTTON that you can press to shut down the servers when you do it.

This Saturday (February 22nd 2025) we are planning on jumping in game from 5pm - 6pm CT
This was really the only time we were able to make work for our schedules but it’ll be super casual. Just hang out and enjoy running around in the “mini” zones. We’ll plan on meeting in Mugwood which is definitely my favorite zone! We still have other events planned so no worries if you are unable to hang out with us but we would love to see you all there! :mushroom:

Sad to see this. We had great times especially in OG Orbus. Surprised they wont sell this to someone to remake. I think back to fond memories with lifelong friends. That you to everyone that was a part of this.

As the Mage Tournament entry is set to close in about two weeks and folks have been asking around about it in game, would it be possible for you to post the current standings soon?

Yes sorry about the late reply, we got the mage points posted on a separate thread for the top 20 as of this morning

if you are going to shut it down, is there any chance of it going open source so someone else can recreate it?
