Thank you so much as you’ve been waiting patiently for an update regarding the Winter event that was put on hold due to lag issues caused by the event. As an updated version of the Winter event without any technical issues could not be applied to our servers, we still would like a way for the community to benefit from this high-spirited and spectacular event. The event introduces lots of cool (no pun intended) items to glamorize your characters with wintry goodness and we want to continue the spirit of gift giving even though the holidays are behind us.
 
We are happy to announce that players who logged on since November 1st will receive 1 letter sent to the most active character on their account. This letter will include:
 

50 Large Holiday Gifts and a bonus Eye of Frost trinket!
 
Please know the Eye of Frost is bound since it’s a bonus item although the main prizes (Holiday Gifts) will not be bound so open them, sell them, or mail them to your heart’s content! Even though the Large Holiday Gifts are not bound, the items inside the gift will be bound so make sure you open the Large Holiday Gifts on a character that you would want the items on. Also make sure you check all characters on your account (including other server and incarnations) in case you do not see the letter in your character’s mailbox.
 
Once again, you will receive the winter prizes if:
-You logged in since November 1st
-Your character is at least level 15
*One gift per account
 
We hope these gifts bring some post-holiday cheer to your ingame celebrations. Have fun chilling out!
 

 
You’ve tested your might in each of the six skirmishes and now it’s time to continue mortal combat in a PvP zone that is infamously known as Melting Isle! It’s been a freezing winter the past couple of weeks so what better way to stay warm in an ice-covered zone than some intense PvP action while fighting for buried treasure! Who knows? Maybe you’ll be rewarded with more loot than what you bargained for…
 
From now until Monday, January 21st at 9:00 AM PST, you must visit Melting Isle (only available to level 51 characters) and show evidence of you looting a chest while looting the chest at least 50% of the way. It may sound easy at first but remember Melting Isle is a free-for-all zone so it’s every Orc and Gibberling for himself. Be sure to grab your allies for help unless they turn on you and steal your booty!
 
Key Points to Remember About Melting Isle:
• Access Melting Isle through Ancient June Ruins in Gipat
• Melting Isle is only open from 4:00 PM PST to midnight PST – Server Clock
• You can only travel to Melting Isle for two hours per day before being forced to leave the zone.
 
Rules:
• To confirm completion of the requirement, you must take a screenshot of your character interface while at least looting 50% of the chest’s progress bar. Remember, you do not need to fully capture the chest; you just need to show yourself looting half of the chest.
*Feel free to cover parts of your interface such as chat box or your hotkey bar although we need to see most of your interface while looting the chest. See below for an example screenshot.

• Reply to this forum event thread by Monday, January 21st at 9:00 AM PST that includes the screenshot.
• Include your character name and server when posting your screenshot.
• Only one screenshot entry is allowed for one character per account. In other words, you cannot submit six different screenshots of looting different chests since you’ll just be credited for one entry.
 
Prizes:
On January 21st, we will host a raffle of everyone who submits a screenshot of their character fulfilling the requirement and award raffle winners with 20 Large Holiday Gifts!
 
Large Holiday Gifts contain a variety of winter vanity, mount color patterns, and accessories! Collect ‘em all!
 
See here for a full list of what you can get out of the Large Holiday Gifts.

The Winter Event is coming soon!

 

The Holiday Council and Holiday Committee of the League and Empire are coming back soon (this Monday!) to provide decorations and holiday gifts for the adventurers of Sarnaut! The Snow Maidens will gladly accept the Special Coins you’ve been saving and exchange them for Holiday Gifts!

 

They can be found in Imperial Square for Empire and in the Trade District for the League.

 

 

Near the Snow Maiden you can find Father Winter who will give you some festive items to help decorate the city.

 

There are many exciting new vanity items and mount patterns added this year, so be sure to check out the forums for more details on the additions to this year’s Winter Event.

 

 

 
It’s that time of the year where snow blows in from Siveria to transform Sarnaut into a magical wonderland. Everyone is filled with festive spirit – Orcs and Gibberlings arm wrestle in the bustling taverns; Xadaganians and Kanians go shopping for new fashion styles to be the cooler-looking human race; Arisen and Elves help serve soup at the local Goblinball survivor shelters.
 
Amongst all the busy activities, citizens of Sarnaut make time to have fun and jingle all the way with some mini game fun! Allods takes Simon Says and sprinkles some star shower magic…introducing Sarnaut Says!
 
Rules:
• Meet the GMs at the designated location and times shown below.
• GMs will activate one emote from the Emote menu. (There are 43 possible emotes)
• As soon as you see the GM activate the emote, you must copy the exact emote with your character.
 

 
• The first 5 players to copy the GM’s emote will win 1 Special Gold Coin! (We will be checking our chat box to see which character names pop up first)
*Special Gold Coins can be used to purchase items from the Holiday Committee Official NPCs located in your faction’s capital for various events.
• There will not be a limit as to how many times a player can win although if someone is winning multiple rounds, we’ll ask that player to sit out so that other players have a chance at winning.
 
• The event starts on Friday, December 14th at 3 PM PST – Avilon server
• The event starts on Friday, December 14th at 4 PM PST – Yul server
 
Server Clock
 
• For League, the game will take place in Novograd
 
• For Empire, the game will take place in Yasker’s Tower
 
With 43 possible emotes, it’ll be a test of who knows their emotes the best. If you want to be on top, start playing with your friends ahead of time. That’s what Sarnaut Said!

Father Winter has come early to Sarnaut and has a sack full of questions for you. Whether you’re naughty or nice, Father Winter is generous and may reward you regardless of your answer.
 
Every Friday for the rest of December we’ll ask the community a question related to Allods Online on Google+ and we want you to reply to it. This time the questions will feature a festive winter theme!
 
We’ll choose 10 lucky raffle winners every following Monday and award them with 500 Premium Crystals!
