    How about having a Dance (party) in a Dungeon (edit: that is not safe; monsters attack)? Could be a SotA scene or a player dungeon.

    Has this been done before here, or anything similar?

    Idea is that:
    • People dance, perhaps with a DJ and everything, while monsters attack!
    • Players can guard the dancers and party goers and see if they can keep the monsters from disrupting anyone dancing. Good luck with that, eh?
    • Could be in:
      • a SotA scene that looks like an interesting place to have a party
      • a player dungeon (that could be deco'd and spawners put in)
      • scenes over time at Tier 3, 5, 10, etc. Start small to see if this could even work.
    • Twitch streamers could stream this on their channel with song by song, attack by attack commentary.
    In Ultima Online, we used to have guild/town meetings in dungeons. Our guards protected the citizenry while we held our meeting. It was a lot of fun since guards didn't really like coming to our meetings unless there was something to kill or defend against PKs.

    Thoughts? Pros/cons?

    I've been to several dance parties in a dungeon. @Alleine Dragonfyre as well as @Sean Silverfoot hosted the ones I remember. Was fun
    ( or maybe they were just really big basements, and the ale tainted my memory ;) )

    Dance parties being so safe we need to make a scene where they are not I believe flies in the face of UO's heritage.
    Perhaps implement something that will affect all(most?) dungeons everywhere?

    I like this idea. Just not sure what might be a suitable location. But probably a tier 5 - 6 to allow most everyone to participate (or dance!).

    This has been done before in the open world. There are some dungeon rooms, such as the marble ballroom, that may not allow for creatures to be summoned in.
    Given that, it would not be wise to have creatures summoned into the player made dungeons.

    There are some people who have been decorating their own dungeons specifically for dance parties. I have created one, Autumn Rising Brewery in Crossroads, and have held many very successful dance parties within it.

    @Trezir Pyle is right! I've seen a couple of these and they are extremely well decorated and well suited for such events, yet most of their events are privet by invitation only.

    @Winston , I think this is just the thing for a thing that leads up to a thing or many things. Remember our forum's photo contest where there was a monthly award for the best SOTA screen shot?

    Maybe we need to hold a contest to see who has the best decorated dungeon to host such an event... "Just enough to fill the space before the party?"

    R100 ~Dance Deco Dungeon Contest~
    Certainly such a forums deco contest could do well at least once leading up to our R100 dungeon dance party :)

    To catch the best fish, use the best lure ;) "an R100 dungeon dance deco contest"
    Deco makes our world turn round :D
    It's something to think about!

    I too have been in dance parties in decorated dungeons/basements. I'm not asking about that though.

    My idea/question is a dance party in a dangerous location (scene) where monsters attack and some people must defend the party-goers.

    Has this been done? Is it viable or interesting/fun/challenging?

    I changed the title of the Thread to indicate "dangerous scene with monsters"

    I would be interested if defending the dancers granted some useful 7-day blessing. Based on the success, the event could be made weekly.

    Alleine used to host dance parties in mob zones. I know she had one in North Blackblade foothhills where the dragons are, she also had one in Upper Tears. Not sure why she stopped doing it. I know there was an issue where not everyone could zone in for some reason.

    It's true! I would again too if there wasn't a limit on # of players in adventure zones :) We went other places too. Suprise birthday party in the Rise, etc.

    I have NO idea why these were marked private, but I made them public for you and the future.

    Yes that was fun :D

    We had a dance party in the mages room in the rise sometime ago. People were killing the mages as they spawned, it was crazy but fun. Not sure if this is the one Alleine is referring too.
