This Saturday (6th January) at 6pm GMT, all of the beta versions of the
games will be holding simultaneous hour-long collection events.
Aetolia's version of that will be a big Starfall. The point of this is
to get lots and lots of people logging on at the same time to really
stress the server.

To make sure plenty of you have a reason to join, we are providing
incentives in the form of 10 bound credit prizes (in the real Aetolia)
to absolutely EVERYONE who gains a single point in the Starfall. That
means everyone who finds even one meteorite on the beta server will
receive 10 bound credits on the real server.

As an even greater incentive, the top 25 scorers in the event will be
entered into an Aetolian sweepstakes, with even greater possible credit
prizes. 10 sweepstakes tickets will be drawn, with successively greater
prizes attached:

1st draw: 100 credits
2nd draw: 200 credits
3rd draw: 300 credits
4th draw: 400 credits
5th draw: 500 credits
6th draw: 600 credits
7th draw: 700 credits
8th draw: 800 credits
9th draw: 1000 credits
Final draw: 2000 credits

Note: You may only win once in the sweepstakes, and these prizes are
normal credits, as opposed to those given for scoring in the event,
which are bound credits.

As if all this wasn't enough, those who are entered into the sweepstakes
but DON'T win one of them will get a consolation prize of 50 credits. So
you really have no reason not to log in on Saturday and join the
contest! No matter what happens, every person that logs in is helping us
test these servers, and testing these servers ultimately helps us give
you guys a better product.
