Yes boys and girls it's that time again! BRA is having another giveaway on June 10th (this Saturday)! Since most of you are now seasoned veterans of the event we won't bore you with all the enticements we normally include in our posts to get ppl out (I mean you already know the prizes are fairly nice and the entertainment is worth a chuckle). BUT we will mention a few new things instituted just for this event.


This event is all about Jade Quarry. BRA wants to do everything we can to create some interest in this map and hopefully get it going similar to Aspenwood. So we've decided to hold the event in.... you guessed it... Jade Quarry (both Luxons AND Kurzick's side). We're also intending to run this event for as long as we possibly can (all day if it works out) from 10am pst until we run out of gifts & prizes.

Now there is a theme this time around - "bring teh build" and we hope to have several in-game events for the Jade Quarry mission. But in a nut shell, we want you to bring the absolute WORST build you can come up with. We're talking absolute garbage. We're talking Wammo's with Blessed signet & Unyielding Aura. We're talking Nec's with Awaken the blood and BiP. If it sucks - we want to see you running it in the Quarry. BRA members will enter in game looking for these superstar builds and award prizes for the most creative and crappy ones they find. There will also be other in-game events as well such as the most deaths by a base defender or trivia questions about the quarry etc. The event will also include some of the original favorites such as factions trivia, emotes/Simon says while including some of the newer events like tinsoldier racing and what's in your pants....err I mean inventory.

We're always intent on helping any of those that need it, so if you have questions about the Quarry map or its game play - by all means ask a BRA member and I'm sure they'll be more than willing to try and explain it to the best of their ability.

So to recap for those who find reading tedious:

What: BRA Giveaway - "Bring teh build!"
When: June 10th - starting @ 10am PST to ???
Where: Jade Quarry (both Luxons AND Kurzicks side)
Your goal: Bring the absolute worst build you can design/create


As with other events, donations are always welcome and credit will be given out to those who donate in the wrap up post following the event.

Please feel free to contact me (or any other BRA members) in-game with any questions you have about the event or post about them here. If you'd like to contribute items for the give away, please contact me via the following in-game names:

Gray Elk
The Gray Elk
The White Elk
Elk Grayhorn
Caribou Kid



Looking forward to seeing you all out on Saturday (Whoopee! The all day event is going to allow the EU players to participate!!!) and lets get Jade Quarry rockin like it was in the Beta events!

Well I guess you'll just have to come out and see



Actually they are our typical prizes ranging from great (Ecto/Shards, Greens, Sup runes, *Amber, max golds) to the ok/average (gold/purple but might not be a max inherent or a max pre/suffix. May have a high requirement or mixed stats in multiple attributes. Could be a good salvage item chance or other runes. Possibly old "special event" prizes like eggnogs or witches brews etc.)

The worst case senerio is you come hang out in the outpost and have a little fun joking around and playing games and end up with a few so-so items that the trader will give you some gold for. You can't beat free items.


Oh and as it is with every BRA event - we always hand out all the prizes and if you stick around to the end - we tend to have group involvement to ensure that everyone still there wins a gift. So if you're not a fast typer or aren't the brightest lightbulb in the bunch - if you hang out and join in the final events (sync emotes, crowd photo shots etc.) someone will hand you a free item.

I'll refer you over to TGH for a thread Virgil created after one of our events to sell items he claimed. Have a look here to see some of the things he won.

I'll also note the famous "boobie" prizes that we hand out. These are customized items from a BRA member. The idea is that you hang on to these items until the next BRA event. If you do hang on to it and turn it in, you'll be ensured some "great" prizes (seeing how events can range from 1 to 2 months apart). This is just our way of bringing the community in on our guild jokes (we hang on to old pre-sear items and trade them amongst ourselves. If a fellow member opens a trade window and shows you a pre-sear item - you have to take it. Its our way of messign with each others inventory space)

anywho - its not really about the items - its more about getting the community out to have some fun (and in this case - get Jade Quarry going!)


hope to see all of you there!!
