This annual event is always a fun way to kick off the year, get some motivation and get to know the community better!
When?
We will kick things off January 10th and end things with a big celebration and awards day on March 7thth.
There will be biweekly intervals with new challenges and tasks to complete to obtain more chances at the loot draw at the end!
How?
If you purchase your force for this event you will have free entry, otherwise you can buy a ticket for $25. All ticket revenue will be converted into loot for the end of event draw. Make sure you are signed up to the store Discord server, because we will be using that to post updates and answer questions!
