I don't know exactly what happened since I joined in the middle and the server crashed near the end.  

A bad wizard named Zinalin stole a wand from Climaki and turned almost everyone nearby into a clacker. I hoped defeating him would force him to give back the wand and turn us all back but he only turned me into a clacker. At the end however, Climaki gave him a humanoid glyph for the wand and turned us all back.
