Howdy fellow Tyrians on the EU side!
Most of you hopefully will have by now heard of and are planning to join the Pink Day in LA event on 17 October. If you haven’t, an excerpt from their page:
“Pink Day is a yearly event in support of Cancer Research and support for those who have lost someone to cancer or currently battling cancer. We get together for 6 glorious hours of awesome fun and encourage players to dye their armor pink and give back in their own way on this day!”
We all know someone who has had kitten diagnosis – and many of us will also know some one that died from the disease. The Canadian Cancer Society is the chosen charity for Pink Day in LA as they participate in international cancer research. Their research not only enhances the lives of Canadians, but also adds to the knowledge base within the global science community helping the many millions around the world that are diagnosed with cancer every year.
For people that donate real money to the charity (minimum donation is $10), there is the chance to win a laptop, GuildWars2 memorabilia and many other pretty great prizes.
In game, people that participate in the Pink Day events have a chance at winning materials bundles such ectoplasm, Ascended gear materials bundles, exotics, legendaries and precursors.
To make the in game prizes possible, Pink Day In LA organisers need materials donations. To help out, RoC [Reapers of Corvus] are hosting a ‘Silverwastes Nukefest’ on Monday 21 September from 19:30 UK for EU players.
At 19:30 UK time, meet at Camp Resolve Waypoint in The Silverwastes with plenty of bag space, your axes and picks at the ready. In addition to doing some Mordrem pruning, we shall be chopping and mining mats as we go along. Yellows and lower level gear is broken down for the mats. Exotics are left as they are. Any portion of your farming that you can donate would be very much appreciated. The event will last about an hour and a half.
If your character isn’t high enough level for The Silverwastes, you can still help. Some of the lower level materials such as cotton, linen, iron and so on are used in time gated Ascended crafting materials and are most welcome donations.
Please send your donations to one of the following:
jknrich.1549
fizzypetal.7936.
All the proceeds will be passed on to the Pink Day organisers.
If you can’t make it to the event, no problem. As you travel around Tyria in the coming weeks, please consider donating a portion of your materials farming when you are adventuring. All donations gratefully received!
This event will be live streamed on www.twitch.tv/djangozapp so dye that armour pink, break out your Pink Quaggan Backpack and join us for some fun!
