The Player Event Resource Committee Presents:
Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget



This is a contest to test your creativity, skill, and talent at base design! We want to see what you can do on a limited time and prestige budget. Forty designers will be chosen to compete, ten per category.

Are you ready to prove that you are a great base designer?




There are four categories in which contestants will be selected to compete.
  1. Arcane/Magic (examples: Enchanted Tiki Room or Magic Rainforest)
  2. Technology/Science (examples: Mad ScientistÂ’s Lab or Spaceship)
  3. Modern/Livable (examples: High Rise Apartment or Dorm Room)
  4. Freestyle/Player Choice (examples: Farm, Jungle, or Candy Factory)

  • Anyone who wishes to compete may enter by filling out a short form linked at the bottom of the post.
  • Contestants will be chosen based on creativity of their answers, passion for designing, and skill level.
  • Entrants may choose to link up to 3 screen shots of previous base work.
  • Having previous base building experience is not a requirement; a variety of contestants will be chosen.
  • You will be asked to rank (1 least to 5 most) the categories in which you would like to compete in. We will attempt to accommodate each playerÂ’s first choice as much as possible. Players will only compete in 1 category.
  • Entries will be accepted until October 14th. Contestants will be selected by October 21st and will be invited into bases that week.
  • Contestants will be posted on the forums and will be notified individually via email.

  • Each contestant will be given a base to design. Each base will have exactly 300k prestige.
  • Contestants may not do anything to earn or buy more prestige for the super group. Part of the challenge of this contest is designing on a tight budget.
  • Peacebringers are recommended to use as the base designer for the use of fly. If you do not have that option, please request influence for a jet pack.
  • Any player who does not have access to Paragon Rewards base items may request that a PERC Rep drop them off in the base.
  • Contestants may design up to three rooms.
  • Design/Building time will end on November 15th.

  • Judges will tour bases between November 15th and 22nd.
  • Contestants may choose to be present for the tour to explain details of the base design.
  • Each category will be judged independently.
  • Bases will be judged on: creativity, theme, difficulty, flow/cohesion, and overall aesthetics. Bases will not be judged on functionality (power, control, etc.)
  • One winner and up to two honorable mentions will be selected per category.


Per Category
  • 1st place - 2 billion influence, a Gold title for the character of choice, and a special Costume Code
  • Honorable Mentions - 500 Million influence

The Player Event Resource Committee would like to thank all of the players who submitted an entry to compete in Design Challenge - Bases on a Budget! We were extremely pleased to receive 41 entries. Rather than eliminating one player, we felt it best to extend one of the categories to eleven for maximum competition. It was extremely enjoyable to read the short essays on why people wanted to enter and view the gorgeous base screen shots that many players submitted. There are many passionate Base Builders and it will be amazing to see what can be done on a small budget!

Contestants were asked to rank their preference of category they would like to compete it, PERC is very pleased to say that every contestant will be given their first choice to build!
