Twitch Livestream World Event

The Twitch Livestream World Events are a (so far) monthly series of development sessions featuring Jick, Skully, Hotstuff, and the rest of the KoL creation team at Asymmetric. During these development sessions the Asymmetric staff creates a new world event while streaming the process live on Twitch. The locations and monsters created in these events (barring the first) will return during all future events as part of The Time-Twitching Tower, a theoretically infinite pillar of zones. The items attained in these zones, including a universal currency called Chroner, persist in the inventory as usual.

The time-twitching toolbelt is available from Mr. Store during these events exclusively.

Since Twitch Livestream World Event II, the participating players can permanently join one of two teams, the Time Lords or the Time Bandits, who can compete for various rewards and consolation prizes. In order to score points for their respective team, a player has to wear their Time Lord Badge of Honor or Time Bandit Badge of Courage‎ during the event. So far, each event has used the Badges in a different fashion, tracking points for various behaviors.
