Events

Events on 4thewords are global storylines that are released to all players offering new quests and challenges. Themed events usually revolve around holidays such as Valentines Day or in-world celebrations over site landmarks and anniversaries, while longer, more story based events are usually released for NaNoWriMo in November and Camp NaNoWriMo in April and July. There are some exceptions to this such as the 2019 Pride event, which lasted for two weeks and had a full zone and event story attached.

Past events have added content such as new NPCs, monsters, wardrobe items and weapons, and introduced new gameplay features and temporary world areas or zones.

While some events are small, lasting only a couple of days, others can last as long as a month, often remaining open for players to finish up quests before the event monsters and zones disappear.

Smaller events such as Love Week usually offer one to three new monsters, no new areas, and a few global quests. Players can participate from any zone, though historically they have needed to travel to Luciola Forest to begin the event.

Larger events have varied drastically with regards to new content, but tend to have their own world area or zone which the player must travel to and stay in while participating in the event.

With the re-introduction of badges participating players can earn an event badge found in the Community Badges page.
