-LOCKED - MARCH EVENT
Posted on 2017-02-28 16:31:02

World Wildlife Day


March 3rd is World Wildlife Day, and with that we want to honour what we may lose if we don’t fight for it as civilization, as a whole. Every day should be wildlife day.

A total of 1 054 rhino were poached in 2016, compared to 1 175 in the same period for 2015, representing a decline of 10.3%.
In 2016, 680 poachers and traffickers were arrested for rhino-related poaching offences nationally. This is a marked increase (over double) in arrests from 317 in 2015.

Of course there's good and bad statistic changes, but imagine how bad it would be without organizations who try to save those animals. Not only Rhinos, but Elephants, lions, leopards, all of them.

Many poachers will hack brutally the entire face off of the rhino with axes while the animal is still alive to ensure that they get the entire horn as well as this "serum" as it is worth more.
Thankfully, a new technology might allow to save rhinos in advance by 3D printing the horns from same materials, and injecting them onto the market, in hopes that it would cause the poaching to die down.

Living our everyday lives might seem helpless in a big fight against such endless problem. It might not occur to us when we drink our morning coffee, drive to work or play a videogame, that we actually can do a little something, to help people who are professionally prepared to fight against mass animal massacres. We can give them a hand and share what we have with them, and help spreading the word around the world. Helping to save the lions, rhinos and elephants, and all other endangered animals is in our hands as well.

Anti-Poaching Event

Anti-Poaching Event is creating oppoturnity for you to defeat poachers in Explore, gain Prevent Points to unlock the secret area and defend the Africa!
What is great that the wandering poachers have randomized encounters AND some outcomes too, and this adds a lot of variety to your choices! But be careful! If your level is too low, you might not stand a chance against a large number of poachers! You will be ensnared instead of being able to fight. There's traps everywhere!
Killing poachers or just shooing them away is affecting your karma!

Prevent Points are gained for public bar unlock, but you might notice you also gain "RB". These are Rhino Beetles, a special event currency! Keep onto them as you unlock the secret area!

Be wary! If you guys don't manage to prevent poaching in time and unlock tier 3, there will be harsh consequences!

Poachers aren't only lurking for lions in Lioden, they already did some evil. You might stumble upon the results of their doings in explore as well. It might be horribly sad but it's horribly true in real life as well. This is what real life is. We want to raise awareness, and we want you to be prepared for sad times.

Charity


Just like last year and year before that, we will be donating part of our March income (at the end of the month) to organization we trust and believe in the most. The person who founded it, Damien Mander, used to work as a sniper and in the military but gave up that and all his life savings to start IAPF when he noticed how bad poaching was when he went to Africa. They use the top notch technology to fight poachers with best tools possible, such as trap detectors, drones and military training, scoring arrests with constant ambushes. They do everything to prevent animal extinction in Africa alone, not just post sad posters around the world from their cozy office.

To learn more about Damien Mander and IAPF, you can watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyHnaC3668U

Event update for 2017: as you unlock tiers, new rewards in the shop will be available, including Nacre base applicator and Nacre markings applicator. Nacre is that iridescent shell lining, we figured this user-suggested base fits nicely to the event, where smuggling is an issue in general.

There will be 5 new encounters in explore!

There will be also quite a few new decors to find in the Black Market.

Good luck, and good night!

Yaaaasssss... This is one of my favourite events, even tho I admit it makes me sad too- There were a few encounters that can make ya cry- but in the end, we're playing a Lion who is fighting against it (...depending on your Karma, muahahah) and that's pretty cool.

Love the idea of new stuff (decor/colors/etc) coming, too! I like the way they relate to the event! Awesome works!
