Xenohunt!

Hey Spacers!

As you all probably just saw, this weekend's Xenohunt is now live!

It runs from now until sync on Sunday so you have 48 hours.

What's a Xenohunt, you ask? It's Starmourn's version of the Great Hunt, which you might be familiar with from other IRE games.

It means that the following things are now in effect:
- Double XP for hunting
- Double junk marks cap
- Each mob you kill that would grant you experience will grant you a number of points based on its level. Collect points and climb up on the XENOHUNT RANKINGS. There are 3 brackets/tiers:
* below level 50
* levels 50-74
* levels 75 and onwards

If you enter a new bracket during the hunt, you will be ranked according to the new bracket. It is -not allowed- to manipulate your xp to go down in brackets in order to rank in a different bracket. Offenders will be disqualified from the Xenohunt. Once you reach level 75, it is unlikely that you will be ranked in the 50-74, even if you go down in level (see the next section for why)

- At the end of the Xenohunt, the top 6 players in each bracket will receive credit prizes:
1st: 300cr
2nd: 250cr
3rd: 200cr
4th: 150cr
5th: 100cr
6th: 50cr

The winner of each bracket will also get an honors line! That's obviously the real prize

- Also, simply by participating, you can win some prizes, by reaching the following point thresholds
100 Points = 5 Bound Credits
750 Points = 10 Bound Credits
2500 Points = 15 Bound Credits

- At any time you may use the XENOHUNT command to check out your score and see the current rankings. There's also HELP XENOHUNT (which is basically just this email!)

Good luck everyone! Have fun!
