Tuesday 15 July, 2008 NCsoft Europe Community Day at the Games Convention 2008
As we have already announced via the boards, Sunday will be our Community Day at the NCsoft booth (Hall 3, Stand B20), a whole day fully dedicated to you, our players!
One of the many activities will be a costume competition (Sunday, 24.08, 10:00 GMT). All you need to do is come dressed as a character from either Guild Wars, Aion, City of Heroes, Lineage 2, Tabula Rasa, or Dungeon Runners, then get up on the catwalk to strut your stuff!
However, this isn’t just for fun - the very best entrants will be inline to win some fantastic prizes, including some serious hardware like the Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Audio Card from gaming specialists Razer, and fantastic memorabilia courtesy of NCsoft. We also might have a special surprise in store, so make sure you come along!
One thing to keep in mind when designing your costume: Don’t bring any real weaponry, nor replicas made from steel – basically anything that can injure somebody! If you do you will not be allowed entry into the convention centre. LARP replicas are fine, however.
So, time to get out your sewing kit, pins and needles, and maybe even your welding torch, and get creative! We look forward to seeing your outfits!

For those unaware of the competition, we recently got together with LG, Commodore and Razer to help celebrate Guild Wars hitting the three year milestone. We posed a tricky question to all competition entrants, those closest to the correct answer were in line to win some fantastic prizes. The question was:
“What was the total number of experience points gained by all European Guild Wars players from April 1st 2008 to this year’s anniversary (April 28th)?”
As you can imagine, this was quite a hefty figure, and we had a huge variety in guesses! However, the correct answer was a colossal 85204979604 points!
