Greetings! The new year is approaching fast. Do you know what else is approaching fast? 90,000 Likes on Facebook!
 
We are so close and we need your help to reach that goal and beyond until it’s over 90,000!
 
If we reach at least 90,000 Likes by the end of this weekend, we will post new concept art on our Facebook Fan Page next week!
 
If you have not joined the Allods Facebook Fan Page yet, now is the time to be part of this joyous occasion!
 

 

 
The band of squirrel bandits are at it again with their snatching ways. They have moved on from stealing artifacts from our leaders’ treasure room. Now they are into corrupting Sarnaut’s history by stealing the frozen Gibberling statues from the Sarnaut’s National History Museum from Frozen Frontier! We need those frozen Gibberlings back!
 
The squirrels have littered the Frozen Gibberlings around their roosting nests. Finds the squirrel’s nest and you will find the frozen gibberling. The volunteer museum GMs will give hints as to where they think each frozen gibberling is being hidden one at a time. Together, we will ensure the safekeeping of Sarnaut’s history!
 
Rules:
• The hunt begins this Friday, December 7th at 4 PM PST – Avilon server
• The hunt begins this Friday, December 7th at 5 PM PST – Yul server
 
Server Clock
 
• For League, the hunt will take place in Siveria
 

 
• For Empire, the hunt will take place in Igsh Military District
 

 
• The volunteer museum GMs will give hints as to where they think each frozen gibberling is being hidden one at a time throughout Siveria or Igsh Military District over zone chat.
• Be one of the first five hunters to locate and touch the frozen gibberling, and you will be awarded with 40 June Coins!
• Each participant is only allowed to win 40 June Coins. If you find a frozen gibberling once, you can continue to participate in the event although you will not receive additional June Coins to allow others a chance to win.
 
• June Coins that we’re adding to the winners of the event will appear in your currency tab (K) instead of your bag.
• Activating your Adventurer’s Stone to teleport to a Portal Keeper causes your Adventurer’s Stone to go on cooldown. However, June Coins allow you to bypass the teleport cooldown.
• Click on your Adventurer’s Stone while it is on cooldown (assuming you have June Coins) and you’ll teleport to the Portal Keeper destination.
• Each teleport while your Adventurer’s Stone is on cooldown will consume 1 June Coin.
 
Some of you may not be familiar with June Coins or how they work so here goes a brief explanation!
 
Orc: “Why would we want to help find the frozen Gibberlings? We hate Gibberlings!
Volunteer museum GM: “If you don’t help then you won’t get discount admission to Sarnaut’s National History Museum.”
Orc: “Oh, ok. Deep down inside we love the liberal arts and deconstructing the analytical thought processes behind paintings and fulfilling our thirst for knowledge. Knowledge is power!!!!”
 

 
In spirit of Thanksgiving around the corner, we would like everyone to share appreciation towards another member of the Allods community that they are thankful to know. Maybe it was a brief moment shared with someone while gathering some herbs or a guild member that you look forward to partying with whenever you log in. Regardless who or how you know the person, we want to hear about it!
 
From now until Wednesday, November 21st at 4:00 PM PST:
 
1. Log on to your Facebook account and go to the Allods Facebook Fan Page
2. Reply to the official event – Thanksgiving Gifts – with your character’s name and server.
3. Tell us another player (character name) in the game who you are thankful to know and why you are thankful to know them.
 
We’ll choose some of the entries and give 100 Premium Crystals to the person who you are thankful for.
 
Open up your heart and prove that it’s better to give than receive!
 
Remember, you can only participate in this event if you are a fan of our Allods Facebook Fan Page. If you are not a member of Facebook or have not joined the Allods Facebook Fan Page yet, now is the time to do so. Go go go!
 

 
As Allods Online continues to grow, we are sure our community has lots of questions about the game’s future development or questions about existing in-game features.
 
We have a special holiday treat for our Allods community that will extinguish those burning questions that you may have!
 
The developers, Mail.RU Games, will answer the top questions collectively from all regional communities of Allods Online.
 
This means we need NA Allods to represent! Here is your chance to ask the developers any question.
 
Please post any questions in this forum thread . Also be sure to keep all questions constructive as that’s the best format to help your question be chosen by the developers to answer.
 
We’ll include all past questions that the community asked before although with new patch updates since then, we want to hear any new questions you want to ask the developers of Allods Online.
 
Now let’s see those questions!
 

 
Our Astral Scholar, Citizenkane, and his guild, Ascendancy, gave the community a live in-depth look of an endgame guild completing the fiercest raid content in Allods Online known as Dead City! There were many epic bosses showcased along with raid strategy coverage for each goliath. There was also a surprise ending with a League vs. Empire PvP showdown at the Kingdom of Elements world boss!
 
For those who missed out on all of the action-packed moments, you can check out the full stream with the link below in case you missed it earlier.

Thanks to everyone who engaged in the livestream whether you talked in the chat room or you made an appearance in the stream. We can’t wait to see more streams that the community has to offer!
 

 
Guilds are the foundation where our characters thrive in cooperation and competition. Most of the best moments we spend in an MMORPG are with our guild and many connections (some of which last a lifetime) are forged through the actions that take place in the game.
 
We have a special event that will bring guilds closer together in spirit of cooperation and competition. In this event, guilds must work together to complete 5 out of the 10 challenges listed below. Each challenge is unique and requires different talents to complete. Guilds are filled with many talented individuals so this should be a fun event to show off your guild’s creative side. Be sure to communicate amongst your guild to collectively decide which of the 5 challenges you will complete.
 
Guild Challenges:
1. Design a Guild Crest
2. Write a Creative Guild-Related Short Story
3. Design a Guild-Related Wallpaper (Must include the guild name and at least 5 of the guild’s members)
4. Shoot a Guild Gameplay Video
5. Create a Guild Recruitment/Advertisement Video or Flier
6. Create a Guild Song or Jingle (Bonus points to guilds who have a guild member provide an audio file or YouTube video of them singing the tune)
7. Create a Recipe for Your Guild’s Favorite Food (Bonus points to guilds who draw the finished dish)
8. Create a Guild-Related Comic
9. Shoot a Creative Guild Video (Machinima, music video… be creative!)
10. Design a 2013 Guild Calendar (Must be designed so that each month displays the correct dates for the month)
 
Rules:
• All participating guilds in the Great Guild Challenge need to create their own submission forum thread in the Fan Creations section of the forums
• The title of the submission forum thread must follow the following format: [Guild Name] – Great Guild Challenge!
• Each guild is only allowed to complete 5 of the 10 possible challenges, and the entries must be posted in their submission forum thread
• Guilds have until Friday, November 30th at 9 AM PST to complete all the challenges and post their challenges in their submission forum thread
• Besides the 5 challenges, someone from your guild must post a screenshot of your guild’s interface before the deadline so we can confirm the amount of levels and experience your guild has at the end of the event. We’ll need this screenshot when determining how much experience will be awarded to any winning guilds. Therefore, it would be best to post the screenshot as close as possible towards the event deadline (November 30th at 9 AM PST)
• Since this event was hosted in the past, no specific entries can be used if it was posted in the previous Great Guild Challenge. Please review the previous forum event to make sure you are not copying a specific entry that was used before although you are welcome to get ideas from past entries.
 
Prizes:
The Allods Team will choose their favorite entries and the winning guilds will win bonus guild levels based on their current guild level at the end of the event (November 30th). Below are the bonus guild levels that your guild can win.
 
Level 50-59 Guild ——– 1 Bonus Guild Level!
Level 40-49 Guild ——– 2 Bonus Guild Levels!
Level 30-39 Guild ——– 4 Bonus Guild Levels!
Level 20-29 Guild ——– 5 Bonus Guild Levels!
Level 10-19 Guild ——– 7 Bonus Guild Levels!
Level 0-10 Guild ——— 10 Bonus Guild Levels!
 
We understand this event requires a lot of combined effort from multiple individuals. Even if your guild isn’t chosen as one of the winning guilds for this event, your guild will still earn a physical reward. Every guild that completes 5 of the challenges where we can tell that effort was put into the entries will receive some bound Symbols of Glory to the guild leader which can be used to increase your guild’s experience.
 
What are you waiting for? Communicate with your guild NOW to successfully complete 5 of the challenges by the deadline. Go teamwork!
