Hey everyone!

It’s that time of the year again! We did an ExtraLife event last year with you guys and it was a great success, so we're doing it again this year. For those of you joining us for the first time, welcome and get ready for a day of fun! And for those of you who were with us last year, welcome back!

We're incredibly excited to offer our MMO communities the opportunity to join us in this wonderful cause. Join us from October 20th at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT/16:00 GMT to October 21st at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT/16:00 GMT for 24 hours of gaming, fun, prizes and charity!

This year, we're donating our money to the Vidant Children's Hospital (NC - University Health Systems Children's Hospital), a wonderful local hospital that specializes in children's care and rehabilitation.


Here’s how to join in on the fun:

1. Go to the Extra Life website and create an account. Those of you rejoining us should be able to sign in using the same credentials as last year.

2. When you create your profile, make sure you join the Funcom Team.

3. You can then edit your profile to list the Funcom games you will be playing, your character names (or the names of the characters you will be playing on), and what sever/dimension you will be on. This is so we know how to contact you in-game if you’ve won!

4. Log into your games on your characters and play with us on our Extra Life date! We start at October 20th at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT/16:00 GMT and we’ll be going until October 21st at 9AM PDT/12PM EDT/16:00 GMT.

5. Don’t exhaust yourself! If you get tired, take a break. Get up. Stretch your legs. Eat some food. Step away from the computer/TV screen for a few minutes and give your eyes a rest. It’s fun to try and stay up for the full 24 hours, but we also want everyone to have fun!


What's going on this year?

When the event starts, we will be randomly picking participants in each game and contacting them in-game to give them a choice between two fabulous prizes. If you're not in-game when we pick you, we'll have to move to the next person, so make sure to try and be online as much as possible for the entire event (but still remember to rest when needed).

Players will be contacted by one of the Community Managers (Tarib, Effiluna, Morteia) or by the Community Coordinator (Yarruka) if they have won a prize. Winners can chose from one of two prize selections, listed below.

We will, at no point, ask for your account name or any personal information. If someone contacts you asking for your account name or any personal information, report that fool to the GMs.


Here's a list of the available prize choices:

Anarchy Online:
A choice of an Uberleet Pack or 1200 Funcom Points

Age of Conan:
A choice of an Exotic Travellers Pack or 1200 Funcom Points

The Secret World:
A choice of a Secret Society Dog Tag sent to your physical address, or 1200 Funcom Points.


And remember, you must be logged in and responsive to win!

Thank you for joining us and see you in-game! We’re going to make this a fun day of gaming and helping a children’s hospital!
