Amidst a flury of combat in PaxLair City, Nightly Wood of PaxO captured PaxLair during a two hour combat event.  Nightly Wood will receive 2M Gold from Mayor Winfield at the PaxLair 8th Anniversary Ceremonies on Thursday, January 19, at 9 PM ET in PaxOku.

Mayor Winfield announced earlier in the day that PaxLair's non-aggression laws were relaxed for a short period to see what guild could capture PaxLair.  Guilds fought to get their guildmates into a specific seat, the "Captured Seat" in front of Luigi's Pizzeria.

The capture times were:

• Nightly Wood (PaxO): 1:04
• Calliope, Oak Tobark (LuT): 0:49
• Klug da Stu Maker, Te'kug (Orc): 0:43
• Faith and others (!C!): 0:01

Several celebrity spectators were seen in the area too, including Viceroy of Yew (UO Radio).
