Imperian's birthday is coming up, so that means it's time to schedule another one of everyone's favorite Tournament of the Ages!

The full schedule is up now at http://www.imperian.com/anniversary.php, along with a description of events and of the unique artifact prizes that are granted, once per year, to the champions of the tournament.

At the beginning of the tournament, on April 12th, each character that has logged on in the past 30 days will receive 30 bound credits!

This year, we've opted to condense the tournament a bit, holding more events each day, as well as removing a few of the unpopular and unwieldy events. You'll also notice that there are off-days scheduled into the tournament, as we don't want to interfere with Iron Ticket Tuesdays or with the IRE Earth Day events planned around the weekend of the 24th and 25th.

Some of the events have both an A and a B variant of each. This is to help us allow as many people as possible to participate in the tournament. If you participate in the "A" variant of an event, you are not eligible to participate in the "B" variant in any way, or to attempt to influence the outcome of the event with that same character. You may participate in different variants of the events with different characters.
