The West – Indian Quest Contest!
Good day to all you players of The West! Today, we have a special opportunity for all those creative thinkers amongst you to exercise your talent in the form of a unique and exciting competition! It’s not often that these opportunities come around, so now is your time to shine!
Have you ever found yourself wondering what it would be like if, on top of all the engaging quest lines that we currently have within the game, you could be the one to design an entirely new, unique and exhilarating quest line that could become implemented into the game itself and available for all players to try out?
The West will be hosting an event like no other, held across all language platforms, whereby players will be able to submit their own unique quest line entries. The winning quest line entry will be implemented into the game for everyone to try out and complete!
You will, of course, be wondering how this competition is going to work. Well, carry on reading and all will be explained!
As stated above, the competition will involve the creation of an Indian-themed quest line. We will be opening a new section on this forum specifically for the purpose of the competition! To enter, you will need to post your quest line entries on your local forums. (English submissions are accepted on the International Forum contest page.) Only one entry per player is allowed and they must be provided in the specified form along with the Terms and Conditions acceptance statement. Any entries made without this statement included will be disqualified. The contest will start on the 19th of June, 2015 and will run for a period of two weeks. The closing date for entries will be on the 3rd of July, 2015, so you will need to work quickly to get your entry in on time!
Once all the entries have been tallied, we will open voting to the player base. This will happen on the 4th of July, 2015, which will give you the opportunity to vote on your favourite piece of work! Voting will conclude on the 8th of July, 2015. The quest line with the highest number of votes from each language server will be declared the winner, and will then be sent to InnoGames, who will decide on the three best quest lines overall. (Please note that quest lines not written in English will be translated and this may affect character names, etc.)
The three chosen quest lines will be posted on the Beta Forum contest page on the 17th of July, 2015. From here, the final 48 hours of voting will begin. This phase will take place on the International Facebook page. To vote, you will be required to click LIKE underneath the post containing the quest title and the link to that particular quest.
