Winterfest 2024
The time has come once again for Britannians to gather for a festival!
Winterfest 2024 will be held on February 9th, 10th, and 11th. During the festival, we'll be hosting a series of winter-themed games with event prize bags for contestants and special trophies for the winners.
Punch the Snowman!
During the festival, the area north of the Yew Abbey will have a gathering space along with the frozen Yew Tree and snowman. Give the snowman a "punch" for a chance to win a prize.
What can you win?
- random magic weapon
- a frozen carrot
- a rotten carrot
- a lump of coal
- silver coin
- a deed to activate a 1-day town invasion
- a pile of glacial snow
- Snowy Tree
Winterfest Snowballs
Let's have the biggest snowball fight possible! To give everyone a chance to throw snowballs at each other, melting snow piles will be given out at the Winterfest Event space from Friday through Sunday. These snow piles will decay shortly after Winterfest ends.
Ice Fights
In the Ice Arena, (almost) anything goes! The 1v1 and FFA matches will have the simplest of rules. No magical gear. No summons. No paralyze.
Players will be put against each other, head to head. There is no bracket system, you either win or lose your fight. Matchups are done with a randomizer and the winners of each fight get a trophy.
Battle of the Bands
During the Battle of the Bands, the Ice Arena will be turned into multiple chambers for back-to-back games of Survival with an icy twist! The winner of Survival will receive a Winter Survivalist trophy.
Snow Bash
Snow Bash is just like Monster Bash, except the arena is much smaller and downright cold! Cooperate and conquer in this winter themed version of Monster Bash with a chance to win an exclusive Snow Bash trophy.
The Great Snowman Contest
We've created a field of wonderful snowmen. Double clicking snowmen will have a variety of effects ranging from booby traps, to spawning gear, or creating a battlefield hazard. Be the last person alive to win the Great Snowman Contest!
The Champion of Winterfest
At the end of Winterfest, there will be a silent auction for the Champion of Winterfest trophy.
Players can DM me to confirm their bid. The trophies you turn in must be from one of your three UOSA accounts. I will confirm each player's bid by meeting you in-game to see the trophies. The player who makes the highest bid will have their Winterfest trophies exchanged for the "Champion of Winterfest" trophy.
To give players enough time to place their bid, get your bid in by 5pm eastern on Monday, the 12th. I will announce and contact the winner around 7pm on Monday.
If there is a tie, the tied players will go head to head in a game of The Great Snowman Contest. The winner will be dubbed the Champion of Winterfest.
