COMMUNITY SPIRIT CONTEST

With the 1 year Anniversary of SWL upon us, I thought this was a great time to reflect on those moments, the people and community that we like so very much. This is the time to let the rest of the community know what and/or who makes it special for you, what moments stand out for you and why this is the community you are proud to be a part of.

This contest will be in 8 categories, it will Run from July 9th-August 13th. Giving everyone plenty of time to gather up their entries as I know some do not have time each day to be in game, or on the forums. I would like those who are a little more busy to have the opportunity to be involved as well.

Each of the first 3 Categories will have 2 Prizes attached to it, as well as 1 additional for honourable mentions. Extra Prizes will be awarded for creativity. Prizes are not category specific and will be listed at the bottom for reference. Each of the categories’ prizes will be awarded as follows, one for the Nominee and one for the Nominator for categories 1-3 and a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for categories 4-8. This is about community Spirit, so all categories are community based topics.

As each of the categories 1-3 are stories about two individuals, both individuals of the winning story will receive a prize. There will be a prize for the second place story, again for both individuals. Prizes will also be awarded for honorable mentions.

1: My Mentor, My Friend.



Has there been someone you met in Secret World Legends at the beginning (Or anytime) that helped you? Someone that you are still friends with? We would like to hear about them! We have all had someone help us at one point or another, those are the people we would like to meet and acknowledge. I’m sure we have all asked what we thought was a very time sensitive and important question and one with a difficult answer. The person who helped us may have thought it was an easy question but in that moment we were desperately needing help, and they came to the rescue! Friendships have been made through similar situations and we would like to hear your story! Let us know who helped you, how they helped you and what makes them such a great member of the community.



2: Ride with me.



Calling all screenshot genuises! We are looking for screenshots of you and a fellow community member, someone who you enjoy doing missions with, queing up for dungeons with or running into hourly raid portals with. This can be a screenshot of you both sitting and having a chat in Axel’s Cafe in Agartha, riding bikes through beautiful Savage Coast or dancing silly in Shadowy Forest. whatever it is that you would like to show off! Please add a short explaination of you and your friend, how you met them in game. Whatever you would like us to know, just a short but sweet sentence, 150 words or less so that everyone understands the context.



3: Frozen in Time.



In this category we are looking for your favourite memory of the game that you shared with a friend or another member of the community. Was it a dungeon run where you had a lot of laughs? Maybe it was one of the events we have had over the past year, something that you really enjoyed. The fondest memory you shared with a friend, let us know about it. You can share your memory by story, drawing, digital art, or screenshot. Let your creative juices flow! Please make sure if you are sending in art, to put in a description of what was your best/most favourite moment of the past year in Secret world Legends as it may not always be apparent when looking at art. A brief description under 200 words is fine.



In Categories 4-8, it will be 3 Prizes per category, 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place. A 4th Prize will be given for honourable mentions, not necessarily in every category, just those entries that deserve an honourable mention.

4: I got your back!



The Secret World Legends Community has always been extremely helpful. Tell us what you do to help others. How do you make their gameplay a little easier or more enjoyable. Is it being active in advocating the inclusion of others? talking to newer players to help them understand the basics? or giving someone a piece of gear or 2 to help them along a little. What is it you do to help new players become more familliar with the game, understand the crafting a little more or help them along with missions or just find their way.



5: I came, I saw, I stayed.



Are you new to Secret World Legends? What brought you to the game and what was it that kept you here? Have you been in the game for a day, week, month or year? This is your chance to let everyone know what brought you to the game, how you heard about it and what your thoughts are. We want to hear what you have to say. What aspects got you interested? After 1 year since the Secret World Legends launch, the game and it’s community is still going strong. Every community member is appreciated, each one with their very own unique story. Let’s hear yours!



6: They are SWL.



This is where we ask you to nominate someone who is a great ambassador for the game and the community. Someone that really enjoys the game and it’s community and goes out of their way to show their pride? Someone who goes above and beyond, helps others and is always there when someone has a question or needs assistance with something. A supporter of the game and a proud community member. Who is the person for you that you know you can rely on to answer the easy and difficult questions, the one who not only helps but is more than happy to do so and always has encouraging words. We would like to celebrate those players and their contributions to the community and it’s members.



7: The Story and more.



This category is for all you RPers out there. We all know that Secret World Legends has a fantastic story, we also know that for a lot of people there is more to the story than what the game gives you. What is it about the Secret World Legends Community that makes RP so enjoyable? What keeps you RPing? Anything you would like us to know about the RP part of the game and community. Who knows, you may peek the interest of players who are on the fence about Role Playing in Secret World Legends and help them decide if they would like to give it a try.

Any art, whether it is a poem, a drawing, a comic or the way you like to express your creativity. show us what the game and community has meant for you.
