The Spirit of Christmas is running rampant in the halls of CRS and we've had the overwhelming urge to trap him, bundle him up in a burlap sack, drive him into the wilderness and leave him there... but instead we're putting together a couple of week's worth of goodies and events for you guys!  We've got it all covered: Christmas shopping, free gaming, old friends visiting, "parties" and presents! So pour yourselves a big ole' glass of rum and eggnog, slip your feet into some warm & fuzzy slippers and log in!

REALISM EVENT- 'RATS LAST STAND'

The Rats Last Stand is back! Hop onto the training server on Dec. 23rd at 2pm and 7pm (UTC-6) to try to roust the Rats from Willemstad Castle before the rescue boat arrives. Since some of our more creative players seriously cramped our style last time, some of the rules have changed.  The Rats will have unlimited supply of everything, because we can, while the players will be limited to infantry and 2 of each piece of armor.  Only 1 Rat needs to make it the the TT ship in order to win this challenge. So now you guys have to get even MORE creative to try to stop us. Think you can do it? We even promise to resist the urge to "accidentally" cheat in order to win...maybe...
