Well, I'm still waiting the results of the "Rock, Paper, Shotgun" competition.
Announced the 13th of August, but no date limit nor any news about it.
Any dev knows something?

I'd like to enter too. Or see a contest that I could enter.

Good luck to the EU, make a darn interesting NPC

I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

Anyway, let your imagination guide your mouse!
Details for where to send the entry etc. to be posted after September 6th?

Not currently in the EU, am however an EU resident, will be taking a pop at this one as it's the first time I've seen a bit of a budget being thrown at an EU competition. :P

I think it depens where you live and not on what server you play .

I find this absolutely hilarious - in a good way. EU only contest! (From someone in NA.)

Go show 'em what they've been missing, EU folks!

Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

See, now I'm irritated. This is a contest that I'd actually stand a ghost of a chance of winning as it doesn't require you to be an artist like most of the US competitions, and it's only open to the EU players. When does the US get a contest like this?

EDIT - And just to point out, I'm glad the EU got their own contest, just irritated that of all the contests the US players get most require some form of artistic skill of which I am completely devoid. A costume design contest I'd stand a chance at, but we never get stuff like that. *Shrug* Oh well. Have fun with that one EU, and may the best (wo)man win!

First...congrats, people!

Second, and more selfishly, I would rather switch contests with you guys. Grrrr.

I have to agree with this as well. It's good for the European players and I am not begrudging them a contest, but sucks for people here with no art skills.

Hmm, I can't find anything about this contest on the http://www.onrpg.com website!

So. This contest...

Where? I can't see anything on the site that's apparently for the UK.

Nothing on the german site too

I saw the news post on Onlinewelten yesterday. Don't know why they have removed it.

So where on the site do we have to go, i searched city of heroes, and design an NPC competition but i have found nothing about it D=

Also this NPC can be pretty much whatever, there are no specific guidelines as to what the NPC has to conform to right??

oh and could we have a little info on this studio 55 thing, wouldn't want to end up making a giant semi-mechanical werewolf if studio 55 is supposed to be a chocolate factory or something...

Still no sign of any info, which is a shame since I now actaully have a concept and character fleshed out XD

Woot! 1st post after a Red Name! Honestly though, I think maybe you guys picked the wrong partners for this contest, a week after being announced only one of them has the contest up and running?

So, am I understanding this correctly that we really don't need to worry about the character fitting in at Studio 55? It's perfectly fine if they stick out like a sore thumb?

Just checking, is it one entry per person? Or can we enter each of the three contests? (with different characters?)

Thanks

Always remember, we were Heroes.
