GWOnline Events – January Update

Posted 28/12/12 by

Just a quick update this time around everyone. Although Christmas and Wintersday is wrapping up the holiday season is still in full swing for many of us and it is with that in mind that we have decided not to hold any events for January. To compensate for this however the events from December will have their deadline extended to Midnight on January 31st 2013 (UTC). This will not include the Monthly Events race however which will end this month as usual, it is also worth noting a monthly event race will not feature in January.
This means there is still heaps of time to get your entries in. For details on the events currently available and how to enter head on down to this post.

Enjoy your holidays and we will see you all next time!

GWOnline Events – December Update

Posted 29/11/12 by

Welcome back for December’s update on our now monthly round of contests and competitions, or as we like to call them; events. Firstly lets check over Novembers happenings:

Unfortunately we again had technical difficulties on our part involving the Hide and Seek event, we have therefore decided to postpone the event until server guesting is implemented. The staff really want this one to happen and as soon as we can begin hosting it we will let you know. We rolled out a new Screenshot Contest where we had you taking a screenshot of your player in action. As of writing there were only 2 entries (the contest awards the top 3 participants) but its still open! Get your entry in quick for consideration. We also continued our Monthly Achievement Race where we had you racing to be the first to finish your monthly achievements. At the time of writing we have had NO entries however, if you enter now you could win as the contest awards a prize to the first to enter rather than the first to finish.

These contests are open until Midnight on Friday 30th November (UTC) so there is still time to get your entry in! See Novembers post for details on how to enter.

For December we are running three events, the Monthly Achievement Race and the Screenshot Contest will return and we are introducing a new ‘creative writing’ style event. Read on to find out more…

Get Your In-Game Guild Wars 2 T-Shirts

Posted 20/11/12 by

Back in August at Gamescom, ArenaNet mentioned that there would be special in-game Guild Wars 2 T-shirts up for grabs and it kind of fell by the wayside.

The good news today is that ArenaNet here in the EU has come through and EU Guild Wars 2 fans can get their hands on this great looking in-game items. We have quite a few codes to give away so if you fancy one of these head to this thread in the forums and make a post.

As soon as there are a decent amount or posts we’ll start dishing them out. If you are a site supporter(PAL) you are automatically eligible for a code while stocks last :) If you are a PAL, make a post in this thread in the PAL forum.

Remember, these are EU only for now and can be redeemed in-game at the Black Lion Trading Company.
