Gold Rush 2017 (Gates Open) 3rd March 00:00:01 UTC - (Gates close) 12th March 15:00:01 UTC (what is UTC? click here) Attention Gold Rush Enthusiasts The annual Gold Rush event is upon Planet Arkadia again. This year the event comes with outstanding prizes. The Gold Rush will be run over a course of 7 months, separated into 7 events, each events will last a period of 9 days. Rules Hidden within the loots is a set of Event Tokens. These tokens have points allocated to each of them. These points are as follows. (one set of tokens for each instance level) Cat.1 Event Token - 1 Point Cat.1 Event Token - 5 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 10 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 20 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 50 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 100 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 500 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 1000 Points Cat.1 Event Token - 5000 Points You will need to obtain the "Gold Rush Category 1 - 5/7* (2, 3, 4)" mission from the Gold Rush Quest giver first before you will be able to enter the Gold Rush instances. You can enter these instances however many times you like during the Gold Rush and there is no key required to enter, the mission itself acts as the key. Please note, that these tokens cannot be traded. Once these tokens have been looted, the points will be automatically counted towards the mission when you loot any of the "Cat.1 Event Token - 1 Point" from within the instances. Total score will be calculated based on hourly point averages to derive each participant's 20 hour normalized points. Example of how it is calculated Avatar 1 Total points: 2000 Hours: 20 Average points per hour: 100 20 hour normalized score: 2000 Avatar 2 Total points: 3800 Hours: 39 Average points per hour: 97.44 20 hour normalized score: 1948.72 As the event uses normalized score that means that Avatar 1 would win as their normalized score is higher than Avatar 2. This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account. YOU CAN ONLY WIN PRIZES IN ONE CATEGORY If you abandon the mission at any time during the event, all points will be lost and they will NOT be replaced. You will have to start from scratch. So make sure you decide which category you want to compete in beforehand. You will have to complete a minimum of 20 hours in the Gold Rush Instances to qualify for winning a prize.

Late just like usual!!! Which is why I don't even bother going there when they say the Event starts... GJ Arkadia Team!
I had no previous tokens...Ive never done GR before... counter says I have 8155 points but I have 9165 points in tokens in my storage
Looking forward to seeing the results on this one, although I'm being told by many that it takes a few weeks to get the results
Typically he responds eventually. It just seems to take awhile sometimes. I know it's still supposed to be awhile before they release any results or anything.
