Spring. The season when many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth in an explosion on glorious colors and fragrant scents. When birds return home and chirp happily to greet the early rays of sunlight. When there's a playfulness in nature and a sense of joy energizes the air.
What does Spring mean to you? Now's your chance to capture that sweet feeling of spring in our 'Spring Screenshot Contest'! From April 7, 2020 until April 14, 2020, show us what Spring means to you!
What do I do?
Take a screenshot in-game that gives you the Spring feeling! From blooming flowers, baby animals playing with wild abandon or...you get the idea! Submit your image via Twitter using the hashtags #gamigotrees and either #ArcheAge or #AAUnchained to indicate the game version you play. The best screenshot will be selected as a winner for their game version!
What can I win?
One winner each will be selected from ArcheAge and ArcheAge: Unchained who will receive a Princess Greeniette Chroma costume as a reward. In the event there are no entries from one game, two screenshots from the same game will be selected.
When will the winners be selected?
The ArcheAge team will select and vote on winners that will be announced on April 16, 2020. The winner will be contacted on Twitter via Direct Message and will be announced on Twitter, Steam and our Blog.
