Howdy Hunters!

As we move into the worst of frostbite weather in the frozen north, it’s time to bundle up inside with a warm drink and some game time. Join us for a campaign, 3 competitions, and a mission in Whiterime Ridge. Be careful while you’re out there though, the cold isn’t the only thing you have to deal with, but Van’s got you covered on all fronts. Load up the silver, and we’ll see you in Whiterime Ridge for a monster hunt. Mind the Wendigos. They’re extra grumpy because COTW teased it first. They were really looking forward to being a surprise.

Oh, incidentally, since our creepy critters typically run away if you can’t get them, Snow Geese will flee if you’re in the blind. Don’t worry, they’ll come flying to your decoys. At first. Turns out, they like a nibble of human flesh as much as the next monster.

Rewards for the Holiday event will be out shortly with more fixes to follow.

Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Frost$ at the end of the event will win Community Prizes!

MISSION

This year’s mission is called Spooky

As if Whiterime wasn’t inhospitable enough. Bundle up, hunters, it’s time to return our pristine snowy wastes to how they were. Given the werewolves, we sent some, uh, volunteers out with silver to make sure it works. Enough of them made it back to confirm that Van’s Wolfsbane weapons and silver ammo work on these critters. The normal weapons irritate them, so be careful. Good hunters gave their lives to get that information. Van’s also whipped a few new of his proprietary items to raise your comfort levels in the cold.

The mission will last through the event duration

Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:

COMPETITIONS

Qualifying in a competition awards 100 Frost$ for each comp. You don’t need to place, just have an entry.

Prizes for the competitions look like this:

Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:

RULES

What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners’ hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.

SALES

And what would an Event be without sales? We’re not sure, but we do know that we’d get nasty messages if we skipped them, so we’ve made sure to put sales in.
