Still confused or have some lingering questions? Well hopefully here you can find those answers!
Players can switch between points at any time! However if you do and essentially back track, any 'progress' made on the previous point is then reset. The event is meant to simulate an actual expedition after all so if you want to start at a new point your character would then have to back track and move to the new point. Any of the points can be revisited at any time!
A players make progress from their start points more of the map will be revealed! So literally, you guys will be revealing the map the more you explore and do! : D But keep in mind, each point will comes with its own exciting discoveries, treasures and dangers. Tread carefully...least you not come back at all...
Sadly, explorers can't just start off at the end of one of our launch points. If someone wishes to explore the mountains or grasslands they will need to pick the appropriate launch point. They will then need to submit at least 3 exploration pieces detailing their journey before they will be recognized as arriving. This is out of respect for our veteran players who poured countless time into numerous exploration pieces to discover these points.
Originally this event was meant to be released in segments but due to art block and real life nonsense things were...delayed. A lot.
So technically nope! Exploring the FZ will always be open to players who want to voyage out. Eventually, the map will be completely uncovered and all special 'Reveal Images' posted but you are always welcome to venture forth!
Story wise, the Queen will ask that explorers take a break before pressing on through the land. After all, she and her advisors will be looking over all the loot you bring back and that takes time to analyze and document!
All entrants are allowed to "swap sides" once. Story wise, your lack of commitment to one side would be noted so if you tried to swap sides AGAIN why would they take you back right? You already turned on them once! So for the sack of story, each in-game character can only swap sides ONCE.

Each team has a featured comment where you can link your loot comments! An admin will reply back to you with the amount of tokens you receive when they are available.
Yes and no. Images drawn for the event don't have a set limit per say (IE has to be at least a head shot of a drac) but should clearly depict your characters exploring. Walking through the jungle, woods, grasslands, mountains etc would all qualify a piece. However exploration pieces could be other things like your team setting up camp, consulting a map or reacting to something you receive in an 'optional prompt'. So long as the image clearly shows your team exploring it will count.
Literature submissions need simply be at least 600 words to qualify for loot rolls.
