“LEGENDARY” Perfect World Giveaway – Heaven’s Tear Server

It’s hard to believe that it has only been a little over a year since PWI opened its lands to us. I was one of the first to venture forth and I always enjoyed myself. For quite a time I spent more time in this world than the one not connected to the Internet. I hesitate to use terms like “the real world” because for many of us our characters are merely extensions of our own personalities and the time we spend in game, the relationships we forge, and the fun is very real.

A few months ago I took a “hiatus” from PWI and thought I might come back in time. The honest truth is that I have a bit of an addictive personality and when I am somewhere, I am 100% there, and when I’m not… well… I’m not there at all. I’m also not a collector of things except memories; I don’t like to have mementos that get all dusty… I hate dust. As another summer winds down and a new school year approaches I realize that with teaching and my unwired life I won’t have the time to pursue PWI in the addictive fashion I once did. Since I do things either all the way or not at all, sadly “not at all” is the reality.

Some people leave games in flames and criticism. My dad got me started in gaming when I was 11 and I have tried to always leave the multitude of worlds I have inhabited with that hope that any memories of me were good ones. I think PWI is a legendary sort of place and as such deserves a legendary departure. So, for those who will indulge me, I have devised one last bit of PWI fun for myself along with suitable rewards for those who help me in my final PWI quest… The Quest for Fan Fiction!

In my time in PWI, I was a bit of a squirrel. I looted everything, sold stuff for profit, and bought very little. I amassed quite a tidy fortune in my time; all legal… there is no blemish against my name except maybe that I can be a bit of a witch (feel free to substitute rhyming words that fit!). All told I have 75 million gold COINS to give away.

I apologize that my wealth is limited to Heaven’s Tear, but that’s where it is. I will be cross posting on the Heaven’s Tear forum but I posted in the main one because some people don’t check the server forums all the time.

I hope this will be a fitting farewell to everyone I have known, loved, disliked, argued with, fought alongside, etc. Whether we got along or not, everyone who plays made my time in PWI a richer experience and I adore you all. Thank you for a wonderful year and I hope in some small way to be remembered. May my hard-earned gold buy a few pretty trinkets for those who win the bounty of my quest!

RULES:

1) Entries are limited to 1 per screen name. I have no way to know whether multiple screen names belong to the same person, so that’s just how it is.
2) Entries must be original fan fiction either short story or poem that deals with PWI. Feel free to include characters, monsters, players; even me… mentions of the wonder of me could enhance judging so long as it doesn’t diminish the quality of the work!
3) I am the sole judge and my decision of winners is the only one that matters as far as who gets my money.
4) Entries MUST be posted ONLY to the thread on Heaven’s Tear forum, NOT the main PWI forum http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?p=3586101#post3586101.
5) Entries must be submitted by Wednesday August 12, 2009 and prizes will be awarded no later than Saturday August 15, 2009.
6) Entries will not be used by me for anything except my own enjoyment; you retain all rights to your work.

PRIZES:

FIRST PRIZE – 20 MILLION GOLD
SECOND PRIZE – 15 MILLION GOLD
THIRD PRIZE – 12.5 MILLION GOLD
FOURTH PRIZE – 10 MILLION GOLD
FIFTH PRIZE – 7.5 MILLION GOLD
SIXTH PRIZE – 5 MILLION GOLD
SEVENTH PRIZE – 2.5 MILLION GOLD
EIGHTH PRIZE – 1.5 MILLION GOLD
NINTH PRIZE – 1 MILLION GOLD

I hope some of you have fun with this, I sure hope to. And thank you all again for enhancing my online home… seriously, thank you!

    John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were PKers in Heaven's Tear. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel eatwithspoons were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
    John was a carebear for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the whitenames and he said to dad "I want to be on the PK mode daddy."
    Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY REDNAMES"
    There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the safe zone base of the HT server he knew there were demons.
    "This is eatwithspoons" the radio crackered. "You must fight the rednames!"
    So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the safe zone.
    "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the rednames
    "I will shoot at him" said the archer and he fired the stun arrows. John sandstromed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
    "No! I must kill the rednames!" he shouted
    The radio said "No, John. You are the rednames"
    And then John was a PKer.
    Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

    In Perfect World, many amazing things occur that make a person look back and laugh or enjoy that moment or memory. Mine would have to been the day when I was in my blademaster file and doing quests near Timberfield, and all of a suden I see a Snow Hare Runing up to me. At first I clicked it to see whose Snow Hare it was, and BAM it was a Wild Snow hare. I couldn;t believe my eyes, and it started to attack me with its cute jumps lol. So, I thought I should get in my venomancer file to tame it, but my venomancer file is in Arch. So.... I loged off and went to venomancer file and teleported there. I looked everywhere for it, and it was gone. And I searched for 10 minutes. So... I gave up. And went back to my blademaster. And It was a Miracle, the bunny returned hopping near a tree. That little rascal lol. So I logged off and went in venomacer file again. And you wouldn;t believe what happened. That cute bunny dissappeared again. Do'Oh. AndI searched again, and still no luck. And when I clicked the tool box to click Log Off, The Bunny came out of nowhere hoping towards me. Now Since I am a level 54 venomancer, I knew my powers would kill it. So... one thing left to do, punch it xD. After I tamed it and kept that bunny as a rememberance of a funny moment that made me laught and gave me hope that no matter what, every second in the game counts. Treasure your memories forever :)
    The End
    This is based on a true story xD, well it is lol
