ANNIVERSARY RECAP
NEVERENDLESS' 3RD YEAR ANNIVERSARY
An Entire Weekend of Celebration


Neverendless World of Warcraft, TeamSpeak3, IRC, and Forums were crawling with players and staff alike during the weekend of July 8-10, celebrating in unison the amazing history that we have shared over three years. Dozens of events, thousands of prizes, and loads of fun brought the summer in with a bang and ushered us into the fourth year of Neverendless.

The Battlemaster team worked tirelessly to fulfill a huge list of events each day, entertaining thousands of players with unique and exciting activities and challenges. The Amazing Race gave some a run for their money, the Falling Event was truly "to die for", and the Epic Tournament gave a whole new meaning to Epic. The Battlemasters spent significant time designing the events and putting together the schedule; then, they continued through the weekend to run the events and provide the enjoyment. There was so much activity and fun at every turn.

The TeamSpeak, IRC, and Forum staff all hosted events, as well, giving extra opportunities and out-of-game experiences as the spirit of celebration swept everyone up.

With the advent of the Anniversary Celebration, the Forum team took the opportunity to introduce the new Roleplay section on the forums, open to anyone interested in creating a character and forging a story of their own. See the section for more details on how to get involved.

In the end, it all comes down to you -- the players -- and recognizing that we are all in this together. We all love the community we share here in Neverendless, and we want to see it get even better. In moment's like these, however, we are able to look back over the path we have traveled together and be grateful for everything we've endured, the memories we've created, and all the good changes we've had along the way.

Thank you for being part of our Anniversary Celebration! It wouldn't be the same without you.

PLEASE NOTE
We welcome your gratitude and feedback on the staff anytime! Feel free to add your positive comments and thanks to particular staff members, departments, or the staff as a whole with details of your experience in the Thank the Staff thread.

VOTE SHOP UPDATES
TOKENS, PROFESSION ITEMS, AND SPECIALS
Some Balance Adjustments


TOKENS OF NAME CHANGE AND TITLE
Taking into consideration the effect certain items and services can have on the gaming experience, particular custom items such as the [Token of Name Change] and the [Token of Title] have been revised to have a more positive impact. We understand these items can be useful for many reasons, but we want to keep them valuable and properly used.

For this reason, we have adjust these two Tokens in the following ways:

  • [Token of Name Change] - Now has a 30-day cooldown; meaning a character can only be renamed once every 30 days (this shares the cooldown with the Appearance Change service, Faction Change and Race Change have their own independent 30-day cooldown). Also, the price has been increased to 25 Vote Points.
  • [Token of Title] - Price has been increased to 25 Vote Points.


PROFESSION ITEMS
Additionally, as announced previously over the past couple months, we have begun the process of removing from the Vote Shop items that are crafted by professions. Raw materials, such as ore and herbs, will remain; as well as, recipes for all professions. The profession item removal is just for items that can be crafted by in-game professions.

We believe this change is in the best interest of the in-game global economy and will help promote the use of professions to gear characters, supply consumables, and buy/sell goods. For those looking to become skilled in a profession, you can do so using in-game resources, the resources available in the Vote Shop, or donate for profession skill and recipes.


SPECIAL DISCOUNTS
The Special Offers for discounted items in the Vote and Donation Shops for the month of July were delayed until after the Anniversary Celebration. However, we have DOUBLED the number of items up for offer in the Vote Shop and increased the overall value of the items selected. We hope you have a chance to enjoy these great values!

These are the items offered for special discounts through July:
[Token of Title]
[Cold Convergence]
[Cold Convergence]
[Celestial Steed]
[Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger]
[Relentless Gladiator's Longblade]
[Goblin Weather Machine - Prototype 01-B]
[Relentless Gladiator's Longbow]
[Swift Nether Drake]
[Riding Turtle]
[Grim Toll]
[Blood of the Old God]
[Quel'Delar, Cunning of the Shadows]
[Quel'Delar, Lens of the Mind]
[Quel'Delar, Ferocity of the Scorned]
[Quel'Delar, Might of the Faithful]
[Relentless Gladiator's Kodohide Robes]
[The Burrower's Shell]
[Pit Lord's Satchel]
[Sword Breaker's Bulwark]
[Furious Gladiator's Greatsword]
[Hammer of Purified Flame]
[Lightborn Spire]
[Cudgel of Furious Justice]
[Recipe: Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops]
[Egbert's Egg]
[Heavy Murloc Egg]
[Sea Turtle]
[Adamantite Shells]
[Quel'dorei Channeling Rod]

The special offers this month is courtesy of our Development team, which is comprised of diligent Developers that spend their time working to improve your community experience in World of Warcraft, on the website, on TeamSpeak 3, on IRC, and more! You can thank them for their consistent efforts in the Thank the Staff thread.

BREAKING BOUNDARIES
CONQUER THE WORLD CAMPAIGN
A Unique Series of Events


During the month of August, we will be providing a whole new strain of events and ways to get involved. We will be hosting events and activities similar to those we do during NECon and the Anniversary, but with some twists! You will definitely want to plan for each weekend during the month of August, as it will bring more excitement, more fun, and more rewards!

We will be breaking the boundaries on the way you've experienced things thus far -- invite your friends and recruit your neighbors, this will definitely be a time where the more really is merrier! Also, if you've been looking for where you can use your [Battlemaster Event Ticket], this is it! Stock up on them beforehand so you're prepared, and you still might have to run back to the Vote Shop for more during the events! Remember to vote so you can get the tickets!

The rewards will rock and give you the extra bonus for having to have a ticket for participation. That's not all that will rock, though -- the music, the trivia, the PvP, the challenges, the tricks, all the Admins raiding cities... -- oops, did I just give that away? Well, there's even more and you just have to be there to experience it!

Don't miss this series of events during every weekend in the month of August! We want to see you there! You have a chance to Conquer the World!

WHAT 25 VOTE POINTS FOR TOKEN OF TITLE OH MAN WHAT IS THIS HST? GST? TAX?

<Hidden>

User

Nice work, staff! The Anniversary was awesome and I'm looking forward to the conquer the world campaign, whatever that is. The changelog is a nice touch... it's been a while. I like that profession items won't be in the vote shop, too. We've needed to have more capability in the game.


WHAT 25 VOTE POINTS FOR TOKEN OF TITLE OH MAN WHAT IS THIS HST? GST? TAX?

Considering we're getting significantly more vote points now, I don't think 25 is bad at all, particularly since most people might only get a title or two. On the other hand, you could be like me and get the titles in-game. ;)

<Hidden>

User

But what with Seal of Command. ;<

<Hidden>

User

And, as I have always said this is the reason we have the finest community out there. This is a class act of staff and players. Lets keep the momentum going into year 4 of the best server in the gaming world.
