Event

Events (formerly races) are special short-term temporary leagues that players can participate in. Events often include additions and changes to the mechanics or gameplay loop to create an experience different from the base game. Events are occasionally held near the end of a challenge league's duration and often occur during winter months.

Players can receive microtransaction items for participating in an event. Players can receive prizes for having a character reach a certain level or be entered into a raffle based on their highest level character. Events also have special prizes given to players on the top of the event leaderboards, to characters with the most amount of experience.

Most events will send characters created for the events to the Void league when they end; there are exceptions, however.

Races were a series of seasonal events where players compete with each other to reach the top of the leaderboard, whether by gaining as much experience as possible or reaching a certain objective within a time limit. Races awarded reward points based on the player's placing, allowing players to acquire unique items with alternate artworks or special event prize uniques for top racers.
