Week of OMG!!!

We Have SO MUCH For You This Week

I'm going to keep this short, because the team has got a LOT of work to do if we're going to get everything out on time! Make sure to check out the current Reminders Design Notes post to stay up to date.

Can't handle the chaos... or so many releases!

Monday, September 30th

That is TODAY!

• Later tonight, the limited time gear in the Wheels of Doom and Destiny merge shops will be leaving... permanently. If you haven't gotten your "Skulls and Doom" or "Ancient Skulls and Doom" blades yet, now's the time!

Merge your Fortune Potions from the Wheels to create these blades! 

• Check out our Pumpkin Carving Contest! Read Beleen's Design Notes for more information.
• Our Friday the 13th maps become Legend-only until December, when we have another Friday the 13th event!

Tuesday, October 1st

5th Upholder begins! Upgrade your account to get a sweet character page badge, access to FIVE Star Swords, and all the Legend-only perks you always get! (Like a free spin on the Wheel of Doom or Destiny, pets, exclusive storylines, and more!) If you already have an upgraded account and the upgrade will be active - or expires - on November 1st, then congratulations, you're already a 5th Upholder!

If you were an Upholder before and lost access to your Star Sword, never fear! You'll be able to go into your Book of Lore Upholder badge and access the shop to get it once more! We've had a LOT of people ask us to do this over the years, and now it is finally happening!

If you supported AQWorlds from the start as a Founder, you'll be able to access ALL of the Founder dragon pets... including this year's Green Armored and Galactic Armored Dragon pets! 

Wednesday, October 2nd

Treasure Map time! Talk to Cleric Joy in Battleon to purchase a Treasure Map. Then use the clue in the item's description to find the location of the treasure hidden somewhere in-game.... and access ALL of the gear we've EVER added to the shop, plus the new Royal Dragoon set!

X marks the spot for treasure beyond measure!

Thursday, October 3rd

Run around corraling the server hamsters desperately trying to flee from the Friday insanity!

Friday, October 4th

Hang on to your helms, it's going to be a BIG release!

• Quibble's Talk Like a Pirate Day shop leaves! Last chance to get all of his awesomely piratical gear!

• The Blood Shadowcaster set arrives with the 3 month membership! If you purchase this package in October, you are automatically a 5th Upholder!
• All the previous year's Mogloween events return! Get your trick or treat ON!
• BattleMage Class releases! Memet will do a skills writeup later this week.
• Chaos War rares shop leaves... forever! (The Chaorrupted Locked Blades will NOT go rare.)
• We continue the Swordhaven Chaos Saga where we left off last week. If you haven't caught up yet, DO IT NOW! The cliffhanger ending was EVIL!

Make our Birthday Wish come True!

Help AQWorlds reach 1 Million Likes by October 11!

Your favorite online adventure game is turning 5 Years Old on October 11th, 2013!

Yeah, I know October is pretty far away, but the entire AdventureQuest Worlds team has a pretty big birthday wish: to reach 1,000,000 Facebook Likes before our birthday celebration.

And with YOUR help, you can make our 5^th Birthday Party the best one yet!

How You Can Help

Gather everyone you know—your friends, family, & followers—and tell them to Like the AdventureQuest Worlds Facebook page to help us reach 1 Million Likes by October 11, 2013.

This would be the best Birthday Present ever! Woohoo!

Birthday Presents for All

The best gifts are the ones that everyone can enjoy =D And who doesn’t enjoy Star Swords?! Whispers amongst the AQW team hint at NEW Star Swords… but what will the colors be? Hmmm…

Tell us what colored Star Swords you want to see on our Facebook (and don’t forget to Like us, too)!

Did you used to own a Star Sword but misplaced it indefinitely? No worries, my loves! Due to popular demand, if you've lost an Upholder Star Sword you had access to, you'll be able to get it again during our Birthday Event.  

And if we DO reach 1,000,000 Likes by the AQWorlds Birthday, what other presents would YOU like to unwrap? We’ve got lots of time to plan, so lend us your ideas and let’s see if we can turn them into reality!

Stretch Goals

With you on our side, we’re pretty confident that we can reach 1,000,000 Likes by October 11th, 2013. What happens if—nay, when!—we reach 1,000,001 Likes… and beyond?

…

You tell us! You and your buddies always come up with the BEST ideas, so let us know on our Facebook Page what presents we should deliver for surpassing 1,000,000 Likes. You guys and gals help us—and we’ll reward you handsomely =D
