09.08.2012New Test Server Event
From August 9th to August 27th, we will be hosting a huge testing event where you can win loads of cool prizes for your regular account. All you need to do is log into your test-server account between any two of the specified dates (on the picture, 10th to 13th, 13th to 15th etc...) and play for at least 15 minutes. For example, if you login between the 10-13 you get a prize, but if you log in between the 17-20 you get a different prize. There are 8 prizes to earn in total. You will receive rewards for your testing at the end of that specific testing phase (13th, 15th, 17th etc.) that can be used on your main TSO account!
Don't miss out on the very special bonus on Monday August, 13th! Log in from 5:00AM (PT) to 3:00PM (PT) for a special reward ;)
