On the eve of each client release, our brave community gathers to take the ultimate leap—literally! Join us for The Great Avie Sacrifice as we jump the cliff and tumble-down Mount Comet to honor the There Gods and wish for a smooth update rollout.
Community Event: The Great Avie Sacrifice
Where: Mount Comet – Wilson’s Peak
When: Sunday, November 9th
Time: 5:00 PM Pacific/8:00 PM Eastern
Make sure to join the BABS IM window during the Avie Sacrifice event in order to keep in touch with the host and event attendees while you tumble down the mountain. We will schedule two jumps during the 30-minute event. The first jump will be 5 minutes after the event starts, and the second jump will be 15 minutes after the start of the event.
Here’s a member created video from the last Avie Sacrifice for your viewing pleasure.
Avie Sacrifice
On the eve of every new client release in There.com, it is tradition for the Thereian Community to scale Wilson’s Peak, the tallest mountain in the Virtual World to offer up their Avatars to the There Gods in hopes for a smooth update. Join us tonight at 7:00 pm PDT/10:00 pm EST for Avie Sacrifice!
Gather on the deck with new and old friends starting at 7:00 PDT. The deck will be removed fifteen minutes after the start of the event and the party will free fall down the mountain together. Make sure to bookmark a spot at the top of Wilson’s Peak so that you can teleport back up after sliding down the mountain. There will be a second deck drop at 7:30 in case you missed the first one. If you are unable to join us for the event, you can still make an avie sacrifice on your own time and shoot yourself off the side of the mountain with one of the Avatar Slingers or hop a hoverboard and shoot through the Avie Slingshot.
The new client release is scheduled for Wednesday, September 28th.
