Super-teaming with Extra Life to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network!Hail, Norrathians! Darkpaw Games is once again on a quest to play EverQuest and EverQuest II to help change kids' health and we’ve kicked off our Extra Life fundraising efforts along with our global Daybreak Games Super Team page. This year, we’re back to supporting our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital: Rady Children's Hospital – San Diego, a nonprofit, 511-bed pediatric care facility and the region’s only pediatric trauma center. With 170 hospitals in the Children's Miracle Network, each location treats thousands of kids annually, regardless of their illness, injury, or family's ability to pay. With donations from you all, we absolutely crushed our goal last year, and we aim to do it bigger and better this year. We are even more focused on helping local kids in need this year, setting our goal even higher than ever before. And just like last year, Darkpaw Games (Captain name: Darkpaw Games) will again kick off our fundraising with a donation of $5,000! Let's make this a great year, together. Like last year, we are introducing several in-game incentives for both EQ and EQII as we meet various collective donation milestones! More on that in a bit. We sincerely hope you'll consider spreading the word in-game, on social media, and to family and friends. If you're able to donate, please do, every little bit helps.

Oh Grove, what program would you be referring to? Really curious how you deem my style of play forbidden.
We've created a How-To Guide for Extra-Life first timers, or just those who might need a quick refresher on how to get to the proper place to start earning the nifty incentives! https://www.everquest.com/guides/eq-el-guide This will also be linked in the above article.
What does $500 - One set of all the listed Individual Donation incentives mean? Like an extra set for another character? Nevermind. I guess it means a "key" gives you the highest prize for that tier, so 500 would give you a bunch of keys with for like a /claim type thing, but you can't claim more than a single type of item per account.
I've read the multiple pages about Extra Life but there's still something I don't understand: If I just want to contribute a small amount ot get one of the rewards can I do that as an individual? All this talke of teams and "pick the person you want to sponsor" has me confused. Also if we contribute how is that tied to the toon or accont? Thanks.
I am really disappointed , in an unused opportunity like = upgrade to all access during the event , and a portion will go to the charity so subs from current free to plays , absolutely ignored , when most would gladly sub for a while , if it was partly charitable , even with 0 rewards
Code: Your codes will be sent to the email you provided when making your donation later this year or possibly early next year depending on when you donate. https://www.everquest.com/guides/eq-el-guide 1st paragraph You then take the code from the email Code: To redeem your code, go to the homepage, login into the account you want your items on, and scroll down to the bottom of the page. Copy and paste your code into the box under “Enter retail game card and promotional codes here:” and click Submit! Be sure to copy and paste your code, and that there are no spaces before the code or after the code. Further down the page then /claim once in game
Last year after they processed it you got emailed a code you could plug into the redeem code area of the payment site to gain things which then showed up in /claim I assume similar this year.
Yes you can. Pick and sponsor is basically an encouragement for people who are more proactive to recruit donators, and have their own rewards depending on how many people/dollars they pull in. As an individual you get the stuff either way, the question is do you want to do it through me and try to get me that fancy in game hat.
P.S. If you live in the San Diego area and have the time and inclination, consider volunteering at Children's Hospital. My wife and I have had several foster kids treated there and they can use the help. One way to help is to just cuddle newborns in one of NICU's. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/lo...tirement-as-a-san-diego-baby-cuddler/3197146/ These little folks need to be held and helped. Just a thought. Off to do just this myself in a bit. P.P.S. They also accept donations of socks and sleepers for newborns. Infants with cold feet can get cranky.
Regarding the "contract of enchanted armor", if I donate $250 do I get it? Or do I have to donate and donate again through my page? I am a bit confused.
With the HALFWAY mark ($50k) being hit, Daybreak should have an announcement on the Launcher to get people know about that, and maybe drum up a new round of fresh donations.
The scale on this is not correct. The higher limits are much harder to hit but the incentives jump from every 5k to 10k and then 15k. Normally as they get harder the band gets lower, something to consider in the future!
I'm glad someone is excited. But you could stand to chill a little (the sum of all your posts about this topic). Well over a month to go. Also, their rewards structure is actually the common way to go about things of this nature. Small steps to start with gradually increasing steps as totals go higher.
I'm still baffled by the whole "join the teams" thing. If there was a clear way to just give a certain amount directly it would be a lot easier.
