Something new has arrived within the realm, and we want to make sure every one of you knows about it. The News Hub is now live directly inside the game, your central destination for everything happening in the world you have built and fought for. Events, announcements, special deals and more, all in one place, right where you need it. To mark this moment and to celebrate what is coming next, we are launching the Community Gates Challenge, a collective effort that puts the power of free rewards entirely in your hands.
The Community Gates Challenge runs from Wednesday, June 11th through Tuesday, June 30th, and it works differently from anything we have run before. There are seven milestones standing between you and a full set of rewards, and none of them require individual competition. Every single milestone is unlocked when the community as a whole reaches a shared goal, meaning every player who takes part pushes things forward for everyone. The milestones can be completed in any order, so there is no pressure to follow a set path. Each milestone you help unlock earns the whole community one gift, so the further you go together, the more everyone receives.
Here is what the seven milestones ask of you. The first calls for 50% of all active players to visit the News Hub in-game. The third and sixth milestones bring you back there too, with 70% and then 90% of active players needing to stop by. In between, two milestones take you to our Instagram, where the community needs to reach 14,000 followers and later show some love on our News Hub release post with 1,500 likes and 500 comments. One milestone heads to Steam, where the goal is to reach 15,000 wishlists together. And the seventh, the Moonshot, challenges the community to push our Instagram following all the way to 30,000. That last one will take a real effort, but the reward waiting at the end makes it worth it.
The gifts unlocked across all seven milestones are 75,000 General XP, 500 Construction Tokens, 1,000 Upgrade Tokens, 5 Royal Pleasure Nooks, 1,000 Rift Coins, one Exalted Green Guardian of Nurture, one Imperial Dawn Monument, and a Food District Level 1 for the grand finale. Every milestone the community clears puts another one of these directly into your hands.
This is your moment to show what this community is capable of. Explore the News Hub, spread the word, find us on Instagram and on Steam, and bring as many fellow lords and ladies along for the ride as you can. The gates are open. Let us see how far we can go together.
