Hi everyone!
Once again, it's time for the Extra Life event! Funcom is back and ready to play this year, and I hope you are too! Just like last year, we are excited to welcome returning and new players alike! We're looking forward to another awesome day of playing games to benefit children.
All of our communities are invited to participate in this year's cause. Join us on October 25th at 1300 GMT / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT to October 26th 1300 GMT / 9 AM EDT / 6 AM PDT for 24 hours of gaming, fun, and prizes; all for charity!
We'll be donating our fund-raising efforts to the Levine Children’s Hospital , a local hospital that takes child-care seriously and is nationally ranked among the best in pediatric health care programs.
Here's how to join us!
- Go to the Extra Life website and create an account. If you are rejoining us from last year, you should be able to log in with the same credentials as before.
- When creating your profile, make sure you join the Funcom Team. You can pick a team from the dropdown box during the registration process. You may also register with a team by clicking "JOIN THIS TEAM" from the team page.
- As you may have seen, a few other teams are floating around our forums! Here are their links:
The Crimson Cross
Team Otterdown!
Tomium is part of our team, but he has his own link (because...#blametomium?) here!
(if you need your team added, just send Sezmra or Tomium a PM!)- If you do not join the official Funcom team, please let us know by sending a PM to Sezmra. Remember, if you have a team set up with other players, we can add that team to the list above.
- You may then edit your fund-raising page to specify your character and server information for the Funcom games you will be playing. No matter which team you join -- please include this information, or we may not be able to communicate with you!
- Log into your games on your characters and play with us on our Extra Life date! We will be streaming some that day, but of course, will be playing games all day long! Keep an eye on http://twitch.tv/funcomofficial!
- Be mindful! Take a break if you get tired or need some time away from the computer. It's very important that you do not exhaust yourself, so feel free to step away for breaks as you need them. While it's fun to try and stay up to game for 24 hours, we want you to stay healthy!
Here's what will happen!
During the event, we will randomly pick participants in each game by random drawing, send them a tell, and let them know of a prize they won!
Keep in mind that we will never ask you for your account name during this event, and Funcom representatives will never request your password. If you are asked to provide account information in detail during the event, please report the incident to a GM using the /petition command.
