Overwolf's App Quest!
LFM To Save the Gaming World!
Hear ye, Hear ye!
The time has come for us to offer you a most excellent quest, fit for only the best code warriors of the land. The gaming world is a dark and frightful place, and we need you to be the light, leading through the dark.
The road to saving the gaming world is long and winding, so this first quest of a series will be the test of your courage, for you to learn what you’re made of.
It is a perilous quest, riddled with adversities and mischievous ghouls, who will try to sabotage your doing.
It’s a code scribing, bug slaying, world saving adventure, that starts here, on this day.
Should you choose to embark on it, you may encounter plenty of obstacles down your path, but we’re certain that you will get the best of them and prevail.
For those who do not fear the responsibility, a more challenging quest will be given out in a time not far away, so polish your swords and start honing your skills, so you won’t get caught with your pants down by a giant ogre.
Of course no quest comes without epic loot, not even a starter quest. So we’re giving out sacks of gold (monetary prizes) and the finest war attire (gaming gear) to our champions, who will be handpicked by the Wizard Council at the Overwolf fortress.
