Telethon of the Avatar/Wondrous Winter Telethon of the Avatar

It has been a truly amazing and humbling Holiday Season! With Alpha Testing on the horizon, our amazing community has pushed us past the $8 million milestone! To celebrate, we are hosting an all-day, Wondrous Winter Telethon on Monday January 11 from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Central Time (16:00 UTC to 04:00 UTC).

As a special bonus, we are offering Telethon Funding Stretch Goal Rewards to any backer that pledges a minimum of $5 from the start of the telethon, until Midnight tonight, January 11 January 12 (Spending Store Credit to make $5 minimum purchase does not apply). The Telethon Funding Stretch Goal Rewards are:


 * Achieved! $10,000 – /snow emote
 * Achieved! $25,000 – Snowflake Cloak (increases length of /snow emote)
 * $50,000 – Ice Nightmare Mount (frozen coconuts with icy mist plus white horse head with icy, misting eyes)

Here is the schedule of events:


 * 10:00 am CST: Welcome! Meet the Devs/Office Tour
 * 11:00 am CST: R25 Post Mortem
 * 12:30 am CST: ONBE and Royal Warrant awards

 * 5:00 pm CST: Deep Dive: Agriculture & Food
 * 6:00 pm CST: Scenes and Story
 * 7:30 pm CST: Deep Dive: Player Housing and Player Owned Towns
 * 9:00 pm CST: Deep Dive: PVP & Guild Warfare
 * 10:00 pm CST: Goodbyes and Thank Yous with everyone still standing!

And, because it would not be a proper Telethon of the Avatar without merriment and spirits, there will of course be shots. Past Telethons have taught us, however, that too much of a good thing can make the following workday…. well, unpleasant. :D So participating Dev Team members will once again be taking 1 Shot/Sip for every $2500 $2000 of new money raised during the telethon!

The Wondrous Winter Telethon of the Avatar will include deep dives, lots of prize giveaways* (like coins, t-shirts, store credits, even pledges!), and even some surprises, so you don’t want to miss a moment of it!
