The Golden Ploggle Awards celebrate everything that makes the game memorable, from in-game favorites to the players who help shape the community. Each award is called a Ploggie, a Golden Ploggle statue inspired by one of the realm’s most recognizable creatures. Whether earned for impressive achievements or unforgettable moments, every Ploggie is a celebration of you. There will be 10 Ploggies for Player Awards and 10 Ploggies for Game Awards.</div><div data-contents-type="text"><br class="ProseMirror-trailingBreak"></div><div data-contents-type="text">For now, we will host the Ploggies only in Blade & Soul LIVE to celebrate the 10th Anniversary.
