[Threshold] 2016 Summer Reg Special

[Aristotle]

This is the most important registration special we have had for many years and perhaps ever! We have a potential foreign publisher and numerous media outlets watching this special to gauge the fanatical devotion of our community to both THRESHOLD and STASH. Their involvement and support will hinge significantly on the results of this promotion.

The total funds raised for this Threshold reg special along with a Stash bundle we are announcing later this week will be combined for some fun community goals. Both Threshold and Stash will get their own special community rewards.

Due to the delays in getting the Stash part of the community special announced (it should be posted by tomorrow), we are extending this reg special until June 14th.

Combined Community Rewards - Threshold

Current Total: $9,920

• $10,000 = King's Party + Kleiburn - We haven't had a King's Party in FOREVER and no Kleiburn since Oct 2014. We will put BOTH events on the schedule ASAP if we reach this goal.
  
  
• $15,000 = Bloodbath Server Weekend - Temporary server brought up for 1 week. 10x XP from Mon->Friday. Permadeath PK Sat/Sun.
  
  AND
  
  Threshold Lore Competition - Submit your 5,000+ word short story about Threshold. The winning entry will be published on our website, and the player will receive $500 reg credit. Smaller prizes for honorable mentions.
  
  
• $20,000 = DOUBLE XP WEEK - An entire week of double XP. In our memory, we've never had something this insane!
  
  
• $25,000 = HALF PRICED FOOD WEEK - Half priced food during DOUBLE XP WEEK.
  
  
• $30,000 = To Be Determined (soon!) based on discussions during MNF and in this thread. What would be most awesome?

This registration special will last until June 14, 2016. There are a number of different rewards at different tiers. You can't split rewards up between characters, but you can reg for multiple characters. Normal reg and reg extras count for the tiers, but not reg. services.

1) DOUBLE THRESHCREDITS: For every $1 registered you will receive 2 ThreshCredits instead of 1. Stock up for the ThreshCredit shop, some new clan abode options, and the next Kleiburn visit!

2) Tier Rewards:

$50+ - Bangle of the Viper: This artifact will autoload until June 30, 2016.

• Spectral Viper - Combat - This bangle, when worn in combat, will periodically summon a spectral viper upon your foe, inflicting him with a venomous bite.
• Spectral Viper - Crafting - The bangle, when worn during crafting, will periodically invigorate the crafter of both SP and EP! WOW!
  
  
• Strength of the Viper - This bangle confers partial resistance to poisons when worn.
  
  
• Sibilation of the Viper - Command your spectral viper to hiss at someone you are displeased with.
  
  
• Guild - A specialized function that is unique to your guild.
  
  
• The item autoloads and will be replaced if you lose it through any means. To understand what autoloading means, read: help autoload

$100+ - Portable Hole: You also receive this autoloading item. It has 4,000 units of magical carrying capacity (four times that of a Bag of Holding). It can be folded into a square of black velvet for additional convenience and style. Autoloads until June 30, 2016.

$200+ - +1 to the stat of your choice.

$300+ - +1 BOON

$400+ - +1 to the stat of your choice.

$500+ - +1 BOON

If you reg for any of the +stat rewards, please make sure you include in the comments of your registration what stat boost you want. Stat boosts kick in the next time you login after your reg. is processed.

3) Access to the Special ThreshCredit Shop: This additional ThreshCredit shop has items not available in the normal TC shops. For example:

• Mysterious Gift Box - random item that could be amazing!
• artifact level magic items
• clan respec tokens (respec your clan abilities!)
• weapon specialty reset token (dual wield, two hand, weapon/shield)
• skill books to boost gathering skill training
• Elemental Stones of all types
• major potions of mana and health
• some full sets of gear

4) YOUR DREAM REWARD __(insert here)__ - Has there ever been something you really wished you could reg for but it was never offered or you thought it was too insane? Now is the time to ask when we need to show off the fanatical devotion of our fanbase. Email it to: threshold@frogdice.com and we will discuss it with you. We won't unbalance the game or negatively impact other players, but outside of that feel free to ask.

Hey guys, the Spectral Viper effect now has a crafting version which will invigorate the crafter periodically while doing their crafting thing. Post above updated!

It might be nice to have a kickstarter-esque tracker of the amount raised towards the goal thus far that might push people to donate if we're on the cusp of a goal.

I can't wait to see what ideas people come up with for the final community and dream rewards!

Yay! A short story about Thresh! Though 5000 plus words isn't short! Hope we get there

We will start tracking it here soon!

Ack, you're going to make them think they're adventurers like everyone else, what with the bangle effects. The entire pokka event all I could think of was how they had no chance to get pokka eggs (except the searchable ones), as nodes never dropped any and (I'm assuming) crafting didn't reward any. Poor tradesman.

Also @Evighe, I'm hyped for that too. I hope we get to that tier!

[Gesslar]

Are you calling Ismenia Evighe?

[Ismenia]

I was wondering that myself!

[LadyMarisa]

Do we work on the story now and submit it if we reach that goal? Or will we have some time to write it after we reach that marker?

[Irriari]

I was wondering that myself!

Can we call it freedom of expression and not 'acute inability to read'?
