I'm very pleased and excited to announce the return of a special event that will run throughout May 2022. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new player, we are sure there will be something for you here!
As the name suggests, this is all about the Free-to-Play (F2P) Multiplayer experience of Shadow Era, where you start off with only a Human CotC starter deck and then build your collection of cards through earning Gold and XP in Rated Multiplayer matches.
I know what you're thinking: Why bother collecting any more cards when the starter decks are already formidable? The answer to that is there are plenty of prizes for achieving different goals, from securing a Top 250 position on the Best Score Leaderboard to having the highest total of different cards in your collection at the end of May.
DURATION
1st May 2022 until 31st May 2022.
ACCOUNT CREATION
It is very important you follow all these rules or you will be ineligible for prizes!
1. Rather than logging in as normal, choose Create Account and enter your main account email but with a '2' on the end (e.g. bob@bob.com becomes bob@bob.com2). You can use whatever password you like.
2. Select one of the Human CotC heroes to receive your starter deck for that hero.
3. Enter any name you like for your account but it MUST start with 'F2P' (e.g. F2P Bob).
If you are a new player with no existing account (welcome!), please create your main account (without the '2' on the end of the email address) first and then the F2P account afterwards.
ACCOUNT ACTIVITIES
To ensure this remains about F2P Rated Multiplayer experience, there are some limitations on what you are allowed to do with this account during this challenge.
* ESSENTIAL: Playing Rated Multiplayer to earn Gold and XP and hopefully achieve victories!
* RECOMMENDED: Selling and Buying cards in the Merchant for Gold.
* RECOMMENDED: Buying packs/decks with SC you earn through levelling up (or from Glowing Embers).
* DO NOT PLAY SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN to earn Gold and XP (which becomes SC).
* IMPOSSIBLE: Opening the Daily Chest each day for a free random card. (Only shows if you played Campaign.)
* DO NOT PLAY MELTDOWN to earn Gold and XP.
* DO NOT TRANSFER SHADOW CRYSTALS into this account with the Support tool.
* DO NOT LINK YOUR SHADOW TOKENS to this account to earn SC each day.
* DO NOT TRANSFER A PET to this account as someone could buy it and then you will earn SC each day (see above).
* DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY on anything for this account.
PRIZES
At the end of the season ...
* All participants who achieve a spot on the Top 250 Best Score Leaderboard for May will win 2000 Shadow Crystals. If there are not at least five participants who manage this, I will just award the SC to those who got the top five Best Scores out of all participants.
* All participants who achieve at least 10 wins in Rated Multiplayer will receive 500 Shadow Crystals.
* The player with the highest number of different cards in their account (foil and non-foil are treated as different) will receive 2000 Shadow Crystals and their choice of Pet up to 2000 SHDW in price.
Please note: All prizes will be delivered to your main account (which should have the same email address as your F2P account without the '2' on the end).
QUESTIONS?
Q: I accidentally didn't put 'F2P' in my name? Will I be disqualified?
A: No. Just get it fixed before the end of May by sending an email to support@shadowera.com with details.
Q: I don't have an email address that matches the new F2P account. Is that a problem?
A: No. There is no need to read or send email from that account email.
Q: Can I switch heroes?
A: Yes. You can buy new heroes from the Merchant or get them in packs or starter decks.
Q: What's a quick way to get enough SC to buy a Shadow starter deck?
A: Level up your Human hero to level 5 or 6 for some Shadow Crystals (25 SC per level) and then buy the counterpart hero (e.g. Amber for Boris). To switch the hero of your deck quickly, tick Show Unusable on the Filter and drag your new hero over the current one and save the deck.
Good luck, everyone!
