[EU] OC Birthday Party Weekend - May 5th & 6th!

Hi everyone!

The day of OpenCommunity's third birthday is fast approaching, and celebrations are definitely in order!

So what's happening?

The Community Weekend celebration is a two-day event-packed extravaganza of crazy, fun events, challenges, competitions, and some good old fashioned world boss slaying! All our regularly scheduled events are off for the two days, and are instead replaced with Quaggan Hunts, Hide & Seek, Fashion Wars, and more!

When/where does it happen?

The official date of the Community Birthday is May 1st! Since that's a Tuesday, we've decided to hold the celebration party on the weekend! So, the grand party happens on Saturday & Sunday, the 5th and 6th of May! We usually start gathering and hanging out at around 13:00 CEST, and start the events officially at 14:00 CEST with a Triple Trouble to get nicely warmed up, and continue from there! You can join us at any time during the day, hop onto our TeamSpeak (ts.theopencommunity.org) and join in with the fun! The event is held on our TeamSpeak!

Teamspeak address: ts.gw2oc.org

No password, no shenanigans, no mic required!

What kind of events are there? Are there any requirements to join? Will there be prizes?

There are all kinds of events happening (see full schedule below). We do our best to serve a mixed bag of all sorts of events, so that everyone gets to participate in something fun! We plan out the events so that they require minimal to no world exploration, setting locations in Lion's Arch or racial capitals, or areas adjacent to those! Coming on a level 80 character is recommended, but for most events it is not required! And yes! There will be prizes! Lots and lots of shiny prizes!

How can I support the event?

There are many ways to support the event! You can tell your friends, guildies, pets, and sentient plants about it, and invite them along! You can also donate in-game prizes to increase our prize pool for the weekend! You can mail anything you think would help as a prize to Lelling.6795 or Ellyxina.5023! Anyone donating prizes in value of 5g or more (either items or currency) will be entered into a prize raffle!
