(Aug 18 NZT) Euro-Friendly One-hour Cut-throat Event

• This is a separate short-duration league that has its own stash (as usual). At the end of the event, characters and stashed items will be moved to Default.
• There's a PvP damage multiplier on levels below 15 because players start with a lot more life than they do damage. This multiplier will be adjusted substantially based on feedback from this event and others.
• Players are hostile by default to players who are not in their party.
• You can ctrl+click on the entrance to an area to use the Instance Management screen to manually enter any other player's instance of an area.
• The maximum party size is still 6.
• Cut-throat instances can hold a maximum of 12 players. This means that a full party is not safe because another party can invade them.
• This test is not a hardcore league. When you die, you lose the normal experience penalty for your difficulty plus 30% of your current level. You also drop all inventory and equipped items. Your flasks, skill gems (even ones in your inventory) and quest items are not dropped.
• If you were killed by another player, your lost experience is split among their party.
• If you attempt to abruptly leave the game in a non-town instance, you have to wait 5 seconds and are unable to move or use flasks.
• The grace period of invulnerability upon entering an area is 10 seconds. This should start once the player is mostly done loading.
• Non-partied players only show up on the map if they're nearby.
• There are no notifications for players joining or leaving areas.
• Portals cannot be used until they have been up for five seconds.
