ArcheAge Lets You Mix N Match To Create Your Own Characters
The contest consists of you submitting a design for a ship's sail (made in Photoshop, (Fresh) Paint, Corel, hand-drawn ... no restrictions!) before July 28 in the appropriate thread on the ArcheAge forums. The design must be original and not published or used in any previous fashion before submission to the Raising Sails contest.
Entrants must be over 18 years old and not have won a prize from Trion in the past twelve months. You must also be a resident of the USA, Canada (except Québec), an EU country (excluding the Netherlands), Switzerland, Australia, or New Zealand.
ArcheAge 2nd Closed Beta Date Announced
Each entry shall be judged on Creativity (50 points), Originality (25 points) and Adherence to the Medium (25 points). Five winners will be chosen, and in the event of a tie, creativity will be the tie breaker. If anyone knows what the difference between "creativity" and "originality" is, please inform me in the comments. I'm assuming they mean "execution" and "idea", respectively? For a full list of contest rules and terms, go check out the official rules thread.
We here at GameNGuide are pretty psyched about ArcheAge (should our pretty constant coverage of it not have informed you of that little tidbit), and XL Games' new art contest is just one of the reasons why. Now where did I put those crayons...
