This event deserves to be celebrated – See what you get out of it!
Admittedly, we congratulate the successful MMOFPS in principle belatedly, because Planetside 2 actually had its birthday on November 20, but the nice thing about online game celebrations is that they usually last a bit longer. A good example, by the way, is the 9th birthday of World of Warcraft, in which you currently receive an in-game item that increases your experience and earned reputation by 9 percent. Just take a look at Groinkh (Let’s Play), he discovers it just for himself. 😛
But back to the actual point of the post: PLANETSIDE 2 is turning one year old, and the creators are celebrating this by giving the community and, of course, newcomers a few gifts. And what exactly do we gamers get out of it now?
The Mega Package – What does it cost and what does it bring (no more)?
There would have been the so-called Mega Package, which already sounds quite nice by its name. Unfortunately, it was only available for four (petty) days and is already out of the race. We say: Doesn’t matter, it would have included some nice items, but it would have cost at least 27.19 € if you had purchased Station Cash for 85 €. 🙁
Share your WarStories! – What is that?
This is something for the creatives among you. Until December 17, 2013, you can still submit your Planetside 2 “WarStory”. This means you come up with a snazzy story suitable for the game that is between 800 and 5000 words long – so rather a short story or a small anecdote from one of your battles. Then you send the story via email to this address: [email protected] and provide your username, the title of your story, and the empire you primarily belong to. The latter serves the fact that there will be a main winner for each empire. You can optionally enhance it with images and videos. However, since the trick will not explicitly help you (for fairness reasons), you could basically save yourself this effort. 😉
There’s a lot to win. As mentioned, the empires will be rewarded separately. Thus, there will be a total of three first places, three second places, and three third places. So I don’t have to write everything down, here’s just the suitable screenshot for you:
The other WarStory finalists each receive a Planetside 2 box as well. This includes all finalists, meaning the three highest entries from the community of the corresponding language and the corresponding empire. If you want to participate and want more information, you can find it here.
Newbies take note – it’s about you now!
Those who do not have a Planetside 2 account (or want to quickly set up a new one) are not only completely free to play the amazing shooter with thousands of players online, but they also receive the anniversary package free of charge on the occasion of the first birthday. And what nice things are in there? An XP Booster, which you better take only after you have got a bit into the game, and a Light Machine Gun (LMG) for the empire you choose. The booster lasts a whole day and gives 50 % more experience. Since the offer is valid until December 31, 2013, we recommend that you simply use a free vacation or holiday day for it. 😀
The package is worth 750 SC (Station Cash). In euros, that’s currently exactly 5.10 €, if you take the same example as above. Not much, but at least free. So if you’ve been wanting to try out Planetside 2 anyway, it’s advisable to do so now.
We wish all participants of the WarStory event good luck and all readers much enjoyment in Planetside 2!
