The holidays may be down but the wintry fun that came along with it is not out! Trees, buildings, and lakes are still sprinkled with frozen remains including what’s this…the citizens of Sarnaut?
 
Sarnaut news reporters are just in with the breaking story…
 
“You’ve heard it right. Inhabitants of Sarnaut have started a fad similar to planking known as “icing”. It appears players are using the Eye of the Frost trinket from the past winter event and freezing themselves in wildly creative poses. Sometimes these players are icing when on a mount or when casting a spell to capture the spell’s blinding effects. We’ve even caught players cold-handed while icing with other players! There’s no real purpose to doing this beyond fun and lots of LOLs!”
Now is your chance to show all of Sarnaut how great of an icer you are!
 

 
From Monday, January 21st until Monday, February 4th, upload your best screenshot of your Allods character icing on the Allods Facebook Fan Page.
 
Icing rules:
 
• Using the Eye of the Frost trinket from the past winter event, make any creative pose with your character and take a screenshot.
• You are welcome to be on a mount; cast a spell; or include other players when activating the Eye of the Frost trinket (icing).
• Upload the screenshot on our Facebook application “Allods Ice”
• Get your friends and comrades to vote for the contest!
• Vote will close on Monday, February the 4th, so cast your vote everyday for your favorite picture!
• There can be only 1 winner/gPotato or Facebook account!
 
Icing Rewards:
 
• The top 5 most voted pictures will receive the following rewards:
 
1st – 2,000 Premium Crystals
2nd – 1,500 Premium Crystals
3rd – 1,000 Premium Crystals
4th – 500 Premium Crystals
5th – 500 Premium Crystals
 
• There will also be as well 5 runner-up prizes for those who didn’t make it in the top votes! Don’t be afraid to be creative!

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!
 

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!

The Winter Event is coming soon!

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.

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!
 
When replying to the weekly question, be sure to include your character’s name and server.
