Challenge winners announcement!
Below you can find the names of the winners of the first Challenge round “Build The Battlefield” in the different categories. We will soon contact these winners by email. The prizes will be delivered using a new coupon system. These coupons codes will be usable on any server by any player. If they are used on the challenge server though, any item rewards will be lost after the round during the reset.
The next round will see some difference in categories and some of the existing ones will be tweaked. We are going to start a feedback thread in the forums in order to find out more changes required for the next round. We will also declare the start of the next round asap.
For now though, congratulations to the winners below and of course an honorary mention of Laststand who legitimately can claim to have won the whole shabang!

Clarification on Magic Turret Functionality
Challenge skill increases, Siege Barrier fix
Some changes to the Challenge server:
- The light shafts have been modified to show approx thirty minutes before the central or perimeter spawns.
- The Spike Barrier is now notake and may only be created and finished on ground and hence not dropped in mid combat.
- Removed some impopular items from the central spawn.
- Rubble can no longer be bashed.
- New accounts start with 21 in all skills instead of 20 in order to allow for riding and wall bashing. The skill values of old accounts have been raised to 21 if they were lower.
Improvements to Challenge
- Approx once per hour on the Challenge server, the village tokens now spawn rock shards and an iron lump of moderate quality level. Since the current map lacks those vital resources in most places this was deemed require .
- The central spawn rates have been tweaked since it was a bit too much in some cases
- Sleep bonus has been awarded on the other servers due to the extensive downtime during release
- Graphics and sounds have been added to the most important spawns on Challenge. The initial problem where they caused lag is also fixed.
- New players are now recommended to use the Far bases when selecting Challenge->Storm on the login server.
- The Storm server twitter account has been activated at https://twitter.com/stormchallenge
- Finally a note regarding Unique creatures and Artifacts on Challenge: Some Uniques exist, and Artifacts have spawned.
