Dimensions have proven to be a feature that can ignite the creativity of the Ascended and is enticing to new and returning players alike. But, simply building it isn’t enough! We need a program to shine a spotlight on the feature in a fun and creative way that gets players involved and puts their passion in front of their friends and fellow players. We need to show them – The Joy of Dimensions.
)
What is it?
The Joy of Dimensions contest (running from Jan 22, 2013 – Feb 12, 2013) will drive players to use their imaginations and build amazing creations using the tools available in Dimensions, and to share their creations with friends on Facebook for loot and potentially awesome prizes! To make the contest appeal to an even wider audience, the entire thing will be wrapped in nostalgia by parodying one of arts most beloved figures – Bob Ross – for the promotions.
Entry
Users will capture screenshots of their Dimension creations and submit them via the RIFT Facebook channel. The contest will be administered using the wildfyre app, which will allow them to share their entries. For submitting their creation, they will receive a title and in-game dimension item (see Prizing section below).
Voting
RIFT Facebook users will vote on their favorite creations over the course of January. Voting and sharing their choice will be rewarded with a title and in-game dimension item (see Prizing section below).
Winning!
1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize winners will be selected by number of votes received on Facebook. A single Grand Prize winner will be selected by Trion based on a point scale for creativity, originality, etc.
