WTF is this?????????

I and two mates was sorting out my faction with the Dellingstad citizens by killing golems in the crater near Dellingstad (Gripklosa mountains, Midgard SI) for the Mammoth Hunt quest.

Two lights appeared and followed us around, sometime the lights would get bored and wander off, but mostly the lights stuck with us (1 hour 30 mins) and would pull mobs on to us. I wasn't sure if the lights were trying to help (pulling mobs into PBAOE) or trying to kill us (additional adds whilst in combat).

The lights manipulated the mobs, and would get them to follow it (see 5th screenshot.) it cast spells like a Thanes str/con buff, could walk around invisible and was not targetable.

Is this just a very unusual mob or a GamesMaster, anyone else seen these before (any realm)?

ok that is surreal. usually id just say it was a gfx bug or a new mob. but seeing a it displayed inteligence i'd have to go along with the gm idea. probably zargar. But why he chose to hang out with 3 mids in what appears ( i don't know mid) to be the arse end of nowhere is baffling....guess only he will know, weird

I guess it's some sort of admin having fun ? :D


I got a screenie of a Amber Simulacrum talking, telling jokes, all in all had so much fun with this Amber :)

The Amber got hit by a "Magic Arrow" by an archer in lyonesse, so it could talk, pretty awesome ! :)

hehehe :p

when I had my experience with the Smiulacrum, it got hit twice by an arrow, and it talked and talked and talked for like 30-40 mins in a row, and told the most funny jokes :)

It's part of the quest (or related to the quest, anyway). I didn't see them when I did the quest with my shadowblade, but a guildmate (spiritmaster) had them too. They look cool :)

Miltaff is a spiritmaster too, and the lights were more interested in him than me (Warrior) or Lars (Thane)... maybe a GM has a fetish for SM's :)

lol :D

Anyway .. A lot of guesses tho, but no real answer yet ... I have never seen them tho, and I've been there several times.
I stick with the guess that it's some admin messing around .. :)

There are weird spirits all over SI. On Knarr island (to the east of the town) there is a similar phenomenon on one of the mountains, around the area containing the Coral Things.

Seems to be casting Thane spells also.
