Starting in August, and each month afterward, the team that wins the mAT will receive $1,000.

To qualify for this reward, teams MUST be active in the game for the entire 3-4 week period leading up to each mAT (there is a spacing of 4-5 weeks between each mAT, so this gives people a week after each mAT to reform if they want to). Teams need to be active in both daily AT's AND in Ladder play. Since I am able to log into to this game basically all day, it will be easy for me to monitor Ladder activity.

I will also monitor individual players to make sure they are actively playing the game. If you have a guild member who only logs on a few times a month, they will NOT receive the mAT prize money if your guild wins.

There will also be prizes for lower ranked teams!! If your team plays actively throughout the month and plays ALL of the swiss rounds of the mAT, but is not able to make the top 16, each member will receive Zaishen Keys from me. I will have to figure out exactly how many keys each player will receive, but it will be a sizable amount. If your guild is not able to play the mAT for some reason, but you played actively throughout the month, I will still give you Zaishen Keys.

Also, for these prizes to happen, the mAT must have at least 32 REAL guilds playing. The whole point of this project is to bring activity back to the game. If there isn't a sufficient amount of activity happening, then I'm not giving out prizes.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION ON ALL OTHER GUILD WARS WEBSITES AND GAMING FORUMS.

Special Rules:

* Core members of Zuranthium's guild will receive a higher prize amount if the guild wins the mAT. These people will also receive a monthly salary even if the guild does not win the mAT. (Call this "unfair" if you want but I'm not going to hand out my own money to this community if I'm not enjoying the game. For me to enjoy the game, I require a guild that is dedicated and able to play at a high skill level)

* If Happy Feet's guild wins the mAT, those players will receive their prize money from Happy Feet. He loves to talk about how much money he has, so he can pay for their winnings.

Wow. Though I doubt I'll be good enough to win anything I am now motivated to try PvP, at least now that there will be others playing. Hats off to this guy.

I believe Max is a bit over paranoid, but we will see.

If this is true it's just really really awesome!

A couple of hours ago, I thought you guys were calm enough that I wouldn't need to do stuff.

Skepticism is ok, but it doesn't preclude civility on either side.

Anet should GW1 on steam and such for 6.99 or similar and you will have 1 milion new players in a week.

I just wanted to ask out of interest: What happened to this?

Lots of drama where Zurrie would change rules to his liking on whether he paid players or not. He did do a partial payout to prove he was serious in August.

Ultimately the playerbase has not reached 32 guilds as he wished for.

Several threads in regards to the subject:

It's supposed to be still going on. If you have interest get friends and just play for fun, don't think too hard on the promise of money.

Anet should take notice on this Motoko, just as with Xunlai Tournament House, but then having people bid with real money, as in losing you recieve €/$ 0, and with winning multiplied amount by X.

Great voluntary.

I don't think there's many people out there willing to bet money for pvp on a dead game.
