Show Us Your Hype – Garden of the Gods Contest!

The Garden of the Gods: birthplace of magic, the Gods you know, and of Erenor itself! Created by the Mother Goddess Thiol, it has been for many a legend, and for others, a dream of paradise. The only thing keeping you from the secrets that lie within the Garden of the Gods is the Garden’s door.

Dangerous monsters, more dangerous bosses, secrets, quests, and beautiful scenery are just a few things that await you on the other side of that door. From June 4, 2020, until June 10, 2020, we want you to show us your hype in the Navel of the World for a chance to win either an ArcheAge – Garden of the Gods Archeum Pack or ArcheAge: Unchained Garden of the Gods Archeum DLC! Nothing is as fun alone as it is with friends, so grab your friends to join you in your screenshot, video, or GIF.

Gather your friends, family, and guild members for a screenshot, GIF or video in front of the Garden Door in the Navel of the World from our Public Test Server! Any GIFs or videos should not be longer than 15 seconds and should reflect your creativity and wit. Edit it with text, filters, cool transitions, and a whole lot of emotes. If you aren’t sure where to go, the Navel of the World is located in Eastern Hiram Mountains!

You can enter our contest via Twitter using the #ArcheAgeGotG or through our Facebook channels (ArcheAge Free-to-Play post here, and the ArcheAge: Unchained post here for a chance to win!
