Community Challenge #1: Protectors’ Massacre
Aug 18th
Now that the Fanartminator is over, the second round of Goultarminator II is just around the corner – and starts tomorrow! A harvesting challenge awaits you.
The challenge is simple: harvest grain, cut down trees, pick flowers, and fish as much as possible to find Resource Protectors! The more Resource Protectors you fight to the death, the closer you are to victory.
The challenge will start on 19/08/2010 at 00:00 (GMT+1) and will end on 19/08/2010 at 23:59.
These community events were made to suit anyone, from any server, so everyone can participate. To ensure the biggest servers will not to be at an advantage, we’ve added a balancing system. In this challenge the number of Resource Protectors killed will be compared to the number of players at level 39 or higher connected to the server while the challenge is ongoing.
These Community Challenges allow you to earn points for your server and push your team towards victory – and maybe even go on ahead to win the server grand prize of a weekend of double XP! Points earned in the Community events will be distributed evenly between the winning teams of the winning server.
Here are the rewards for this challenge:
First place: 300 pointsSecond place: 240 pointsThird More >

Goultarminator: Team Composition
Aug 11th
Well, that’s it, Goultarminator’s Test of Popularity is over. Among the 1800 qualified characters, 600 of them will be selected to make the teams, then 600 other characters will be named as substitutes, and the last 600 will unfortunately remain on their original server to cheer the others on.
From today, the 12 representatives of each server have until the 12th of August to organise 3 teams of 4 characters. The Portuguese server Hélioboros will be the exception; as only 10 characters registered, there will be 2 teams and 2 representatives will have to be left behind.
The representatives can visit this page to register the teams for their server. Don’t forget, no matter which representative confirms the team composition, once it’s confirmed, it cannot be changed. If the composition is not complete by 9am (CEST) on Friday, August 13, it will be done randomly.
In the meantime, you’ll be able to see the selection phase’s fight schedule from 13/08/2010 until 22/08/2010. Representatives must prepare their characters with the best equipment before the backup that will be taken at midnight tonight.

Goultarminator: The Test of Popularity begins
Aug 9th
The Goultarminator’s Test of Speed is over! 1,800 players have made it through the fires of qualification. All three dungeon keepers won’t soon forget the drubbing they received during this phase! Now it’s up to the rest of the community to decide: let’s begin the Test of Popularity!
On each server, the three candidates with the fastest times for each class will be put forward for the Test of Popularity
A vote will be cast by the server to choose which candidate will represent each class in the tournament. The candidate from each class with the greatest number of votes will be selected as the top class representative to participate in the Goultarminator.
The class candidate with the second greatest number of votes will be appointed as the substitute. If the top class representative cannot attend a fight, the substitute will take his place in the match to prevent their team from being disqualified.
In order to vote on the representatives for a server, it is necessary to be subscribed and to have a character above level 40 on the server in question. A single account can vote only once and only for one server. Only one vote per IP will be accepted.
Voting ends Tuesday, August 10th at More >

In order that these servers not be deprived of one or more of their teams, here’s how this situation will be addressed:
