-LOCKED - Anti-Poaching Event
Posted on 2015-03-03 07:30:28

World Wildlife Day


Today is World Wildlife Day, and with that we want to honour what we may lose if we don’t fight for it as civilization, as a whole. Every day should be wildlife day.

2014 alone, according to data published by South African Department of Environmental Affairs, 1250 Rhinos were poached. It's double than 2012. Just in january 2015, 49 Rhinos fell to poachers. Imagine how bad it would be without organizations who try to save those animals. Not only Rhinos, but Elephants, lions, leopards, all of them.

Many poachers will hack brutally the the entire face off of the rhino with axes while the animal is still alive to ensure that they get the entire horn as well as this "serum" as it is worth more.

Living our everyday lives might seem helpless in a big fight against such endless problem. It might not occur to us when we drink our morning coffee, drive to work or play a videogame, that we actually can do a little something, to help people who are professionally prepared to fight against mass animal massacres. We can give them a hand and share what we have with them, and help spreading the word around the world. Helping to save the lions, rhinos and elephants, and all other endangered animals is in our hands as well.

Anti-Poaching Event

Anti-Poaching Event is creating oppoturnity for you to defeat poachers in Explore, gain Prevent Points to unlock the secret area and defend the Africa!
What is great that the wandering poachers have randomized encounters AND some outcomes too, and this adds a lot of variety to your choices! But be careful! If your level is too low, you might not stand a chance against a large number of poachers! There's traps everywhere!
Killing poachers and just shooing them away is affecting your karma!

Prevent Points are gained for public bar unlock, but you might notice you also gain "RB". These are Rhino Beetles, a special event currency! Keep onto them as you unlock the secret area!

But Poachers aren't only lurking in Lioden, they already did some evil. You might stumble upon the results of their doings in explore as well. It might be horribly sad but it's horribly true in real life as well. We want to raise awareness, and we want you to be prepared for sad times.

But be wary! If you guys don't manage to prevent poaching in time and unlock tier 3, there will be harsh consequences!

Charity


Just like last year, we will be donating part of our March income (at the end of the month) to organization we trust and believe in the most. The person who founded it, Damien Mander, used to work as a sniper and in the military but gave up that and all his life savings to start IAPF when he noticed how bad poaching was when he went to Africa. They use the top notch technology to fight poachers with best tools possible, such as trap detectors, drones and military training, scoring arrests with constant ambushes. They do everything to prevent animal extinction in Africa alone, not just post sad posters around the world.

To learn more about Damien Mander and IAPF, you can watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0yxeQYca-U

Event update for 2015: as you unlock tiers, a few more encounters in explore will appear. Also, new rewards in the shop will be available in higher tiers.

Good luck, and good night!

In reply to why poachers don't tend to go after the baby animals is usually because the babies can then be sold on the black market to idiots who want to 'own their very own tiger/chimpanzee/lion/etc'. The babies are worth more alive than dead, whereas their parents are considered the opposite.

In all, this event is heartbreaking but a very real look into the impact of poaching. I'm proud to be a member of this site, and am likewise happy to spend my money here so that it can go to both a good cause and to helping maintain it.

I always feel bad when I have to choose what to do with the baby animals after their mother has been poached. I want to see all the responses and what happens with each option but I don't want to kill any of them. :(

Does any one know if when we reach the end of the bar there will be forth tier items for sale?
Also, does anyone think we WILL reach it? Not saying it'll be impossible, but more along the lines of it just not having an end.... Mainly just wanting to know if I can spend my RB now or if I should wait to see if there'll be something better?

CopyCat- There are a few new "locked" items up in the sales search, and while i'm not sure it is related to this event, I am fairly confident they could be. c: However, i'm not sure if these are decors, toys, backgrounds, or something else entirely. Anybody's guess what they are, so i'd say just buy whatever calls to you and perhaps save the leftovers, as we may not even reach the final tier this year.

Hopefully our lions can hunt enough poachers, so we can find out for sure! x3

Icy the next month is still too far away that the locked items could be for that month so i am pretty sure they are for this month still. but i dont believe we will reach the 1million poachers (500.000 from 3rd to 4th) to unlock... and still i have huge horror imaginations what the mentioned consequences may be <.< i just hope we wont loose any lions...

I just did the math, and if we continue killing the average number of poachers we've been killing every day this month then we will make it to 1,000,000, which is what I assume the ???? number is. This means We'll get to the goal number some time on the very last day of the month according to my calculations.

Average per day: 36,000
Number needed: 121,448
Days Left: 5

If we keep killing the average we've killed we'll defeat about 1.06 million poachers by the end.

This is all estimation, of course, but let's hope it works out this way! :D

the pictures you get when there are the baby animals and their dead parents make me cry, honestly 3

so so happy we're raising awareness, and it makes me happy that my lion is helping prevent poachers, even if it is in a fictional game.

Now that we managed to prevent the poachers from doing something extra terrible... could we possibly be told what that terrible thing was going to be? I'm quite curious what we all worked so hard for, since it wasn't a reward.

Yea, I'm curious about that as well.

Also it's a little disappointing that we didn't get an extra tier of anything after killing all those poachers. Still, I'm happy with the stuff I got any rate. All in all I think it was a very good event.

No 4th tier items? Quite disappointing *back to hiatus*
