The Wrath of the Lich King beta is under way, and while we here at the WarCry Network are having a good ol' time tooling around Northrend ... well, it can get a bit lonely. So - thanks to the fine folks at Blizzard - we'd like to extend an invitation to all of you to try for a chance to come join The Mage They Call Jayne(z), the Awesome Brigade, and the <Evil League of Evil> for your own Lich King beta adventure!
Though the deadline has passed to submit entries for our screenshot contest with five (5) ready-to-go Lich King beta keys at stake ... worry not! The second contest is here, and we've still got some nifty goodies to pass out: twenty (20) cards from Blizzard's WorldWide Invitational 2008 event held in Paris! Not only do these cards register you for the beta (when the key comes may vary), but you also get your very own mini-Tyrael in-game pet!
Or rather ... we would have those twenty cards to give away, but it seems like they've all been stolen! We've been delivered a ransom note, and it looks like we'll need to decipher it in order to get the WWI cards back...
Maybe you can help!
Decipher the Ransom Note!
A dastardly thief has made off with the WWI Cards we were planning on giving away, and in their place has left this ransom note that spells out: "Wrath of the Lich King Beta Test." Now, we're no experts, but it looks to us like it's made of letters cut-and-pasted from various videogame logos ... we've managed to figure out the first one, but boy, we're stumped on the rest!
Can you figure out all of them? If you can, we'll be one step closer to getting the goodies back - and so will you!
The contest has ended!
Thanks for your interest, but this contest is now over. Keep checking WarCry Network for more contests and giveaways in the future.
The Rules:
- Keys are open to all members of The Escapist and WarCry communities. You must have a registered WarCry or The Escapist account to enter. (If you don't yet have one, fear not - it's completely free!)
- Contestants who fully and correctly complete and submit the ransom note will be entered into a random drawing for one of twenty (20) Worldwide Invitational 2008 prize cards.
- Partially-complete submissions will not be accepted. All the game titles must be correctly identified in order for the submission to count.
- Only one entry per person.
- The contest will run from Thursday, August 14th, 2008 to noon (12:00 PM) EDT on Monday, August 18th, 2008. Any entries past this deadline will not be accepted.
- Contestants must be 13 years of age or older.
- The 20 winners will be contacted and asked to provide a valid mailing address - we will be sending a physical card.
- The five (5) winners of the Olympian Screenshot contest will not be eligible to win a WWI '08 card.
Hints & Tips:
- Don't be afraid to guess - you can check whether a given entry is correct or not easily! You will not be able to enter unless everything is correct, so there's no danger of submitting an incorrect form.
- Many - but not all - of the logos in question can be found here on the WarCry Network. Browse around: who knows what you'll find?
- Make sure your entry is spelled and formatted correctly. This is not case-sensitive, but formatting is important!
- If you think you're on the right track but still having trouble... try other games in the series, or just the series name itself!
- Completely stumped? Feel free to discuss this on our forums and put your heads together with other contestants! Two (or more) heads are better than one!
