Greetings Ghosts!

A few weeks back I sent an email announcing a very special event - GOTR's fifteen year anniversary as a gaming community, and coincidentally the fifteen year anniversary of the PlanetSide franchise. If you didn't get that email, it may have gone to spam. Please read below and spread the message to any GOTR or former GOTR in your contact lists, we'd really appreciate it.

Even if you don't feel that you're an active member of the community, we'd love to have you with us for these special events. And bring your friends!

15 Years of Raiding

Here's the quick version: Next week on Thursday, May 24 and Friday, May 25 at 8pm Eastern (5pm Pacific, midnight GMT), Ghosts of the Revolution will be celebrating our 15th anniversary in gaming by raiding in Planetside 2, VS Emerald as always. Expect every division to be activated as long as there are interested members online: infantry, armor, air, and special ops. Thursday night will be a traditional divisional raid and we hope to do the same on Friday - one of the only times in GOTR's history we've raided two days in a row! That's pretty great. We're expecting some other outfits and communities to join in on the fun, there will be plenty to shoot.

There is also double exp gain in Planetside 2 for all players, all week, starting today, Friday May 18 and running to Friday, May 25 - if you're a subscriber to PS2, you'll get quad exp next Friday (May 25) because that double exp will stack with the "members only" double exp weekend running next Friday to Sunday. That's a lot of certs!

Raffle Details and Prizes

There will be a RAFFLE to help us raise a bit of money for GOTR's expenses - the TS3 server, game servers, web site hosting, and the other hardware and software costs associated with running our community. 100% of this money goes back into the community, as usual. In addition to the raffle, you can always donate directly, but we don't like asking for that - so this way, you have a chance at winning a video game instead!

You can buy raffle tickets in the GOTR web store at https://gotr.us/store (you will need to be logged in to see the raffle tickets). Winners CHOOSE ONE out of the "pool" of prizes they purchase a ticket for. Feel free to buy multiple tickets in multiple pools. All games are for PC and will be sent via a Steam code, except Destiny 2, which is a Blizzard/Activision code.

The drawing will likely be done sometime on May 31 or June 1, you do not need to be present to win! We'll reach out via discord, email, or whatever contact info we have for you.
