Contest - 1 million gold in overall prizes!

[DawnInfinity]

IS OVER!!!
Hi guys, I've been trying to think of a contest idea for a couple of weeks now, and I finally decided on what to do.

My contest doesn't require drawing/editing or cake-making skills. It requires you to reflect on your Pocket Legends journey. I want you to write a summary of less than 750 words that describes what has defined your Pocket Legends experience and made it special to you. You should talk about what would automatically stand out to you about your PL adventures. Be it friends that have been by your side, that one pink you farmed desperately for ages and finally acquired, or a random act of kindness that renewed your love for the game... the options and memories are endless. So, it can be creative, funny, emotional, or anything else you want to throw into your message. If you want to include pictures, please limit them to only 2. Please, no flaming. You may edit your post because only the final version will be judged, but keep in mind that I will monitor this thread. Also, you'll probably get more attention if you write your entry in proper English. Legibility is a plus. The judges reserve the right to disqualify a person's entry if they feel that it is inappropriate or violates the guidelines.

JUDGES - DawnInfinity and Ayrilana

ENTRY FEE - n/a

GUIDELINES - Less than 750 words, up to 2 pictures. No flaming. Please make sure entries are posted in this topic and not PMed to me. Entries will only be judged here.

It was a warm august after noon when i stumbled across something that seem incrdible on the app store this app was called POCKET LEGENDS, I was so exited when i saw the screen shots I thought 'ooohh laa laaa it looks beautiful its awsome me want it!!!' and so i downloaded the game. The whole game seem really really complex, but i started getting the hang of it at that time my name was mikeygon and I met a cool archer we became freinds and then he was gone at that time i was now level 13 pure archer and i got bored i didnt play the game till i got a exciting message!! Dark forest is now free! So i reistalled and played again but then restarted when i saw the greatness of mage staffs i became an intbird my new name is how you all know me today, PHOENIXKING. I leveled and became better I got addicted and begged my dad to let me get plat and i slowly bought campaigns noobylishly pawning everything in my large screen.

So time passed on and I was leveling and getting some vanity things level 45 was still the cap I have acomplished this with my freinds and reached level 45 a new campaign came out it was named ALIEN OASIS III so tough I was leveling and became 46 i couldn't crush the keeper in the map crush the keeper so it was a pain until my freinds brought the might level 47 players and I said 'MY HERO'S" I was excited we beater T'paxx easily like and I became level 47 defeating gurgox was a challenge but was still acomplished till that time we where fighting the tough OVERLORD!! it was a real challenge I treid and treid and treid but I failed like a chicken running headless trying to escape from the chicken killer untils my freinds got a level 49 and we glitches him and killed him I got to the victory laps!! And it is victorious V-I-C-T-O-R-I-O-U-S!!!!!

OK, here is my entry =)

Alterra is a land filled with mystical beings, courageous heroes, and strange mysteries. Of course there always is the enemy, devious and cunning. To protect this land, warriors are called forth, and one of them is the brave enchantress, Enikazie. Born with a clear resolve and outstanding magical abilities, she started to climb to the tops of the ranks from level one. While fighting zombies, knights, mummies and aliens, she met many great friends. They helped her on her journey and made her who she is today. If it were not for her friends, she would not have had enjoyed her adventure to level 55. Because of them, she could joke around, relieve some stress, and have fun. Enikazie learned about teamwork, crucial in fighting bandits in the sewers. She also learned how to survive and kill, while playing around in pvp. She was happy to be surrounded by her friends, and knew they would always be there for her.

Later, I found the forums, an awesome place and a good way to meet even more people. Some of my really good friends are whirlz, wound, zeus, noob and phoenix. Whirlz, very pro at pvp, and fun to hang out with at ctf. Wound, super dedicated, caring, and overall awesome. Zeus, super funny, and very helpful. Noob, annoying, but always makes me laugh. Phoenix, crazy hyper, but cool to be around. These people are one of the main reasons I still play this game . Without them, PL would be just another mmo, rinse and repeat . So, I am really thankful for the friends I made and for all of the PL community and how helpful and kind everyone’s been to me. That’s what PL means to me, friends and family. XD

It's a little cheesy at the end lol, but I was smiling as I typed the whole thing <3

When I started playing Pocket legends, around a month ago, i had no expectation for. *I only downloaded it because I was desperate for a new game, and when i looked under free rpgs on my ipad, it was near the top of the list. *Their were many good reviews, but I have never trusted in subjective opinions.

I downloaded it.

About an hour later, I began to play. *I liked the graphics, and the gameplay, but I wasn't really looking forward to the people, as having played Runescape before, I understood that as a noob, I would be preyed on for my money. Sure enough, in my 8th day of playing, I was, out of 13000, no less. *Needless to say, I completly lost hope, until I met, for the first time, someone who actually wasn't scamming people. *Though here he will remain anonymous, he was very kind, helped me level up, and I was for the first time, genuinely happy with the game. *I met other nice people, saved some noobs from my fate of being scammed, and enjoyed Pocket Legends more and more. Soon enough, I figured out their was a Pocket Legends forum, and before long I became a member of the community.*

*I still play around at least 2 to 3 hours of Pocket Legends each day, and am still enjoying it. Pocket Legends is a very well created game, and all the people here are kind and helpful. I thank the developers, and all of the helpful members od the community.

It all started on a cloudy stormy day in the middle of april 2010. I was looking through the apple store under rpg. I saw this game called "pocket legends". I was thinking to myself is this a game where little monsters in my pocket have magical quests? Sadly i wqs wrong , i downloaded the game and made a almight player called ARCHEY. i got to like lvl 4 and though it was the worst mmorpg ever! And again thank god i was wrong after a year i played again.

when i first started pocket legends i had no idea what to do lol. i was getting scammed left and right, but didnt know it. i eventually cuaght on and became a rich person. considering the fact tht pocket legends was kinda new. at 500k i decided to buy evrything i wanted. (death shotgun, void blaster ect.) so i went completely broke. i was only lvl 34 so i eventually lost interest in the game. but i logged on for old sakes, and some one said "giving away 50k to low lvls limited time." being exited i went to him. he gave the money as said then we started talking about why he did it. turns out he was leaving pocket legends due to phone and internet loss. so for some reason he gave me an extra 300k. from there i decided to start playing again and i some how managed to complete my goal. to complete an entire void and death set. only to find out that custom set is the best dex. set. so i have set a new mission for myself, and this prize gold would really help. thats my story.

Here's my entry!

It was that day somewhere around Thanksgiving in November. My iPod was gathering quite some dust, there was nothing that I felt could make me happy anymore about it. Then out of the blue, I typed in "top 10 Free iPod MMO's". I saw Pocket Legends, the name seemed creative so I took a look at the reviews. There were so many positive comments about the game! So I tried it out, and I was shocked. It was so amazing! The graphics were awesome, it was smooth, and addicting! Of course it wasn't long before it became my most favorite game ever. I've been through hate, depression, but also lots of happiness. It goes on around even today. I've learned a lot by playing this game, not just the skills and builds and all that, but people too. It seems that whenever when I'm in a town, I always see a fight, maybe some drama, and just some players advertising their weapons and such. And then, the Amazon servers crashed one day. I can almost imagine how bored I was in those days I could not play. Then the forum came around! I was definitely amused for once that I thought of it, so I signed up. And from that day and on, I realized that I had never met such a close community before. I have friends who are fun, cool, and just plain nice. Sure, of course it's not all Sally Sunshine. But you know what? It was worth it. Pocket Legends was a big adventure for me, and it still is.

One cold January evening I was bored out of my mind. I took out my old iPod and turned it on. I was searching the app store and came across pocket legends in the adventure section. I took a look and was hooked. I downloaded it and started playing right then. I started out as a bear because of the description of it. When I leveled up to level 2 in the old bear tutorial I didn't know if I should add points to str, dex, or int. After a while I chose int because I wanted my bear to be smart. As I leveled to 13 I discovered dark forest and the map. When I was 18 and couldn't level anymore I found the "Earn free plat button." so I bought all the campaigns in order and stopped right before the oasis town. Then I found out about pvp and twinking. So I created my second char which is now piosidon. I didn't know anything about buffs so I kinda sucked at pvp. Then after experience I became better. After I retired piosidon from twinking I made my mage aitis.Aitis was a voodoo Mage. I don't know if people would consider aitis to be good or not. Then I decided I would level my chars to 50 since the main spine was free. Then I made deathssscar leveled him to 50 and here I am today.

The End
