Contest: Greetings from the Past!

The Classic Server offers countless thrilling places and unique elements – but what part of it is typical enough that it could find its way onto the most beautiful Arborean postcards? Use this competition to show us!

Here’s what you need to do to win: send us a screenshot of a place or element that best represents the Classic Server in your mind, or something that you find to be particularly typical of TERA Classic.

You can change or edit the screenshot to make it appear more like a postcard – like adding a “Greetings from” message.

No limits are set on your imagination!

Be creative and surprise us with your entries.

Best of luck!

1. Eligibility, Participants and Participation

(1) Participation in the contest is free. All users of full age resident in Europe who have a personal, active account according to the Standard Terms and Conditions of Use for tera.gameforge.com (hereafter “account”) are eligible to participate. Employees of Gameforge and companies associated with Gameforge, as well as relatives thereof, are allowed to participate but are excluded from receipt of any prizes.

(2) A “participant” is anyone entitled to participate as per (1) who participates as per (3) between 20/2/2019 and 10/3/2019, 23:59 CET (hereafter “participation period”).

(3) The object of participation is the independent creation of a screenshot of a character from the player's own account with visible character name while using the temporary Classic Server with a hidden user interface as well as a second screenshot with the same motif also with the character name hidden and, finally, the graphical depiction of the second screenshot in the form of a postcard (hereafter “creation”). The creation must be submitted during the participation period in accordance with the following requirements (hereafter “submission”):

b) The submission must be sent to contest@tera-europe.com from the email address associated with the account with the subject line 'Classic Server Contest'.

c) The email should include the name of the character shown in the screenshot from the player's account, the server and the language. It must also be stated how the participant wishes to be identified as the copyright holder in the presentation of the creation, should they win. If the participant does not provide any indication of preference, they provide their general agreement that the provision of the character name, language and server being played on is sufficient as copyright identification. Should the participant prefer to eschew any form of copyright identification, they may indicate as such in the submission.

(4) Each participant is permitted only one entry. Entries submitted outside of the participation period as well as multiple entries, including entries linked to different accounts, will not be considered.

2. Winners and Prizes

(1) Gameforge will select 15 creations from all valid submissions (hereafter “winners”) and select five of these as “main winners”.

(2) In recognition of the finalists’ creative achievements, Gameforge may present the creations on Gameforge’s online forums and social network accounts (together the “Gameforge sites”), providing the form of copyright identification as per 1(3)(c) (hereafter “presentation”). Gameforge also reserves the right to give the winners’ creations special recognition for their creative efforts by implementing them temporarily as loading screens in the online game TERA (hereafter “implementation”). Gameforge will also inform the winners themselves via email to the addresses they used for submission by 14/3/2019 (hereafter “notification”).

(3) The winners will receive the prizes mentioned in the contest announcement.

The response to the notification must be sent by 14/5/2019, 23:59 CET at the latest (hereafter “response”). Digital prizes will be credited to the character on the winner’s account as detailed in the submission per 1(3)(c) soon after receipt of the response. Responses that Gameforge receives late or does not receive at all will lead to loss of entitlement to the respective prize.

(4) The prizes are deemed to have been awarded to the main winners by Gameforge with the handover of the prizes to the service provider. If a prize cannot be delivered due to the respective main winner providing an incorrect address, any costs shall be borne by the main winner.

This excludes the copyright identification chosen according to 1(3)(c) publicized on the Gameforge sites as part of the presentation, which are stored permanently for reasons of transparency.
