🐸🌟 Announcing… The Golden Ploggle Awards! 🌟🐸

Game Type: Blade & Soul LIVE

Nominations Period: January 3 - January 6 (ends at the start of maintenance)

Award Ceremony: During the 10th Anniversary Livestream Celebration: January 9, 11:00AM PST

Blade & Soul is turning 10, and that calls for something special. 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.

For now, we will host the Ploggies only in Blade & Soul LIVE to celebrate the 10th Anniversary. In the future, it’s possible we may bring the awards to NEO. If NEO players would like to participate, we only ask that you have played LIVE enough to form an opinion on the categories you participate in. Please keep all Player nominations LIVE players only. Thank you and let’s have some fun!

How it works

All nominations will be done via Discord in the #ploggie-game-awards and #ploggie-player-awards channels. Navigate to those channels to leave your nomination.
Each player may add only 1 nomination entry per category. If you’d like to edit your entry before voting begins, you may do so by editing your message.
When voting begins, the nomination channels will be locked and voting will be done via Google Forms. The Google Voting Form will be posted on January 6.
Each player may only vote once. Player names and Discord names will be collected to verify the legitimacy of votes. Newly created accounts or accounts linked to other accounts will be removed.
Votes will be counted and winners will be revealed LIVE during the 10th Anniversary Livestream Celebration!
