    Lightbulb Shadow Era Unleash set to launch for 3.0 - Prize Pool: 19,000+ Shadow Crystals

    Am pleased to announce the upcoming launch of Shadow Era Unleash which is set be reveal immediately after 3.0 hits live server in the near future. Three main events are plan which includes:

    Ladder Season:

    Players have the option to sign-up at no cost in a ladder season they wish to participate in. Ladder players play each other to be ranked among the best. In order to play a match you must first establish a challenge by asking another member. After both players confirmed the challenge both players meet inside our chat system online. At the end of the match you come back to the site and the winner reports the result & the loser confirmed from the match center. The points that you earn from a match depends on the player's position at the time of the schedule challenge. Our ladder season last every two months; towards the end of the season the top 16 players will face off into a playoff for a chance to win a prize pool of 7,500 Shadow Crystal on the 1 on 1 and Guild Wars ladder and a free sign-up to a future fee tournament. Note: Future fee tournaments are set to occur after the end of each playoffs at a cost of the of 600 Shadow Crystals (optional) and will endure heavily based prizes based on the amount of sign-ups.

    1st Place: 3,500 + free sign-up
    2nd Place: 2,500 + free sign-up
    3rd Place: 1,500 + free sign-up

    Two types of ladders apply for each season:
    - 1 on 1
    - Guild Wars

    As there isn't any in-game built Guild system yet, the way it will work is the following:

    - Users will create their own guild on SEU and join under the Guild Ladder season just as you would on 1 on 1.
    - Guild must have at least two players online at the time of challenge.
    - Using our random generator, each player will face-off their opponent and the guild that wins at least two of the three matches win.
    - If player-size is even and the result is a tie; sudden death will take place which consists of each guild picking a member that previously battle in the same challenge and face off one of the opposing selected team member.
    - There will be a play-off similar to the 1 on 1 ladder but it will only consist of the top 8 guilds.

    General Rules:

    Playoff Eligibility:

    In order to be eligible to qualify for the play off a member will need to have played 30 games for the 1 on 1 ladder and 15 games for the Guild Wars ladder.

    Scenario: If you are in 8th (Guild Wars) or 16th (1 on 1) place with 14/29 games played and the ladder season ends you will not qualify. Your spot will be given to the next player or guild below you, if requirements are sufficient.

    Bracket Sorting:

    Playoff Bracket Sorting Draw
    1 on 1 Season:
    #1 vs #16
    #8 vs #9
    #5 vs #12
    #4 vs #13
    #3 vs #14
    #6 vs #11
    #7 vs #10
    #2 vs #15

    Guild Wars Season:
    #1 vs #8
    #4 vs #5
    #2 vs #7
    #3 vs #6

    Replacements:

    At the end of each season, the top 8 or 16 guilds/players are placed into a group play-off where the 8 or 16 guilds/players are divided into 4 groups of 4 players. The top 3 finisher receive their prizes. There are no replacements in a playoff, if a player in 16th place does not show a player in 17th place can take the spot.

    Disconnections:

    - Although it does not happen often, it is possible that you or your opponent may be disconnected from the game or the internet entirely before your battle is finished. If the match did not last last for over three minutes - the match will have to be re-done or cancel. Otherwise, whoever is chosen winner gets the points.

    Protest:

    - All match protests require match proof, chat log or video.
    We will not review your protest unless you provided proof.
    Protest take about 1-2 days to solve.

    Inactivity:

    30 Days Inactivity -
    If you have not played in 30 consecutive days your account will automatically become inactive. All your account details will be kept intact, however you will be removed from the ladder until you have become active again. To become active again, simply play a ladder game.

    14 days Inactivity -
    If you do not play for 14 days you will be deducted -25 points from your ladder rating. This is for all members in the top 25.



    Grand Launch Tournament:

    To celebrate the launch of Shadow Era Unleash and the release of 3.0, we will be hosting our premier tournament with a huge prize. The winner will be awarded with the booster box that includes 24 booster packs of 15 cards each, including random uncommon, rare and epic cards plus 5,800 Shadow Crystals.

    Note: Prize is subject to change if Wulven Game Studios decides not to offer the 5,800 Shadow Crystals bonus on their boost box package. If this were to occur, only the 5,800 Shadow Crystals would be awarded.

    Sounds great.

    Is this an official Wulven thing? It sounds very much like some of the rumored coming in game tournament features (but this is going to be an external thing right?)

    This is not an official thing. This is an ambitious project, which I expect will get Wulven's support if it takes off.

    It sounds really good, I'd definitely be interested. Hopefully you get a lot of activity. I don't like having to register for external sites for tournaments but something like a ladder (or GDC's leagues, for example) is understandable.

    We hope a lot of Guilds end up signing-up as there really hasn't been many Guild Wars events. If it prevails am certain Wulven will look into it and work on future Guild features and allow extensive tools in-game.

    Before Wednesday we will allow per-registration for the 1 on 1 and Guild Wars ladder season. Will update when the site goes live.
