The Elite Alliance Challenge

Event Timeframe
Until August 21st 11:59p.m. Server Time

Event Info
This event is geared towards the creation of Alliances by experienced Commanders who will help turn new players into powerful, epic players. If you believe you are already a great player and can help other players, we urge you to take the reins and create an Alliance.

The same goes for elite Alliance members. If you have the guts to join a smaller Alliance instead of the largest Alliances in the Kingdom, you will be richly rewarded.
Why join someone else’s gang when you can lead your own?

Rewards



Three days after the event ends, we will give Gold coupons to Alliance Commanders to distribute to their members. The commander can decide who in the Alliance should receive the Gold Coupon for members. Each member may only use 1 coupon. There is a greater reward for joining smaller Alliances and a bonus prize for all Alliance Commanders of Alliances with 5 members or more.


Important
In order to join an Alliance you need to beat Baldwin IV of Jerusalem in the Holy Crusades Legion, then move to a Kingdom. Here is more info on Alliances.
A great way to get donations from your members is to let them know that only the top donators will receive prizes.

Here is a guide to becoming an Alliance Commander including Emblem explanation.

Ten Days’ Free World Chat

We have opened up World Chat so players can get help from others regardless of which Region they are in. This event will begin at 10:00 p.m. EST on August 15th, 2011, and will last until 10:00 p.m. PDT on August 25th, 2011.
