Forums News & Updates The Surge [Breaking News]: Event Closing Details and More!

Npc — He/Him Posted 6 years ago ( 2019/01/8 14:16:12 )


In a variety of colors.

What’s happenin’ my beautiful Volties? I’m back again today with a steamimng Surge . And what’s up with this giant curtain behind me? Oh well no clue, moving along~

Val has even more Surprises!

*Above Sparks head an airship hovers over, casting shadow to the whole area. A rope is thrown and Valentina gracefully slides down beside Spark. Without turning to look at him she quickly snatches his microphone.*
Attention Voltra! To commemorate the openin’ of my shop I knew Solstice ornaments weren't the way to leave an impression- BEHOLD!
*The large curtain that Spark had questioned earlier was now aggressively pulled away as Valentina swirled her arm forcing it to wrap around herself. Clicking a button on her wrist, the bundled up curtain ignited into dust and smoke and revealed a masterpiece.*



Want one for ya self? Then continue listening to our broadcaster, Spark, for the deets. Later bird bro. *Tugging up on the rope, she shoots off back to the ship in the sky- leaving everyone else perplexed.*
WELL THEN. I guess that’s what I expect from our beloved genius Valentina! Thanks for the free copy! I’ll hang it in my living room.

As you're all aware, Val held a grand opening of Reduce, Reuse, Reinventions introduced with her Holiday Surprise. Well, the fun doesn't end yet. Val has stocked 2 new blueprints that are available for a limited time only!


Holiday Onsie




Panthalassa



Valentina has informed me that she can accept item exchanges to craft these blueprints through Tuesday, 1/15.

Winter Solstice Updates

Now you have through Tuesday, 1/15, to gather, spend, and exchange all your event assets. Let's enjoy the last week of the Solstice event while we can!

Event Closing


First of all: WHOA! Was not expecting VK to be Vreg's long lost brother.

Thank goodness I had some on hand while watching that drama.

I hope they learn to keep the peace someday, can't imagine life trying to make my sis and bro miserable. I love them to pieces.
Anyway hmm, looks like we received a humble request from the Mayor! The electric bill from all the lights and stuff is just too dang high, so we have to pull the lights out on the event. THE EVENT- not all of Voltra, don’t be so negative nancy! We’re in good shape, I myself have even started working out more. New Year new Spark! But still the same guy you know and love, I promise. We all hope you enjoyed our Solstice celebration! Getting enriched in the history of the realms was certainly fascinating...I feel better informed about Entropy too. This gives me a new angle to tackle. The event forum will remain up until January 15th and you have until then to Vote in Velvet’s contest and to go and see what Valentina is up to!

*Hi everyone, due to some technical difficulties with the granting system of the Solstice Goodie Bag, we have temporarily disabled them. You may still purchase them to be opened at a later date once we figure out and fix the issue.*

Yay. I love the additional new items!

And oh wow, I won a common orb. Thank you!

There is something haunting in the light of the moon;
It has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
