Beyond the winter-themed look of the server, to set the festive mood we recommend installing the winter addons collection: link.

In addition to the main prizes, for active participation on all servers, the top 10 places will receive points in double the amount of their earned score. And players on the Coop servers will additionally receive... a winter trail that will follow your character until the end of winter! Besides the winter trail, the server also has something magical that will appear right at the start of the event. Maybe you will be the one lucky enough to obtain this mysterious artifact? The legend of the mysterious artifact (Quest) Open the way — and the frost will remember your name... ❄️ They say, winter knows how to ask for silence. Not a loud one, not a triumphant one — the kind in which you can hear how the snow whispers underfoot, how ice breathes steadily, how the air becomes transparent, clear as glass. On such a night, on a smooth white plain, a tiny cold spark is born — ❄️ Ice Spark ❄️. It cannot be taken by force; it comes to those who understand the language of tracks. It is not order that matters, but the truth of the path: five signs, and one — the last — that completes the pattern on the ice. The first sign rarely comes in advance; more often it finds the traveler by itself. Sometimes, out of white dust, emerges something whose voices are alien — steps not like those of humans, a bite unlike the breath of the living. In such moments, the snow seems to grow heavy, and the air rings like thin ice on a brook. Cut that alien thread, make the silence even again — and winter will notice that you hear its language. There are things in which fire sleeps, like a little star in a cloud. Some love bright color, as if paint itself remembers the road; others — smooth metal that keeps the stern temper of the wind. Sometimes a single sparkling word or a short loud breath is enough for the cold to see light where it has long wanted to awaken. Do this carefully, but not timidly: winter favors courage that doesn’t break what needn’t be broken. Every road has a faithful thing that follows behind and knows the story of every day. Its fabric rustles like dry reeds, smells of the salt of the road, and its clasps click like tiny icicles in the wind. Unfold this thing like a page in an old book: sometimes the needed lies right under your palm, simply waiting for attention. Nothing mystical — just order that helps the snow not to confuse your tracks. And the forest in winter does not sleep; it simply speaks more softly. Under white caps hides a modest gift — not great, but wise, like a ring on water from a stone. Its taste is tart, like morning in fir shade; it does not love hasty hands, but it thanks the attentive. Accept this quiet sign — sometimes it is exactly what makes the step softer and the thought winter-clear, like morning hoarfrost on glass. The path is not only tracks in the snow; it is also warmth you do not let the wind carry away. When your companion walks beside you and frost clings to their step, with fingers and attention restore the steadiness of breath and clarity of gaze. This is the ancient law of travelers: shine for each other when the night grows denser. Winter respects those who do not wander the ice alone. ❄️ When the five true signs remain in the memory of the plain, seek a small coffer in which sparks of past fires live. It is not loud, but it is felt in the palm, like a stone that has long lain in the sun — only its warmth is different, winter. Open it when the silence is ready to become action: this will be the Final Seal. The icy mark will touch that to which you most often turn on the journey — your reliable and faithful friend — and make it an ally of the cold. Thus the Winter Path is complete. Do not count steps — count shadows. Five invisible marks form a single pattern, and the final seal makes it alive. Walk calmly: the Ice Spark does not like haste, but respects those who hear the snow and share warmth. ● Winter Path progress resets upon death and round change, but persists when the map changes. ❄️ I hope our event brings you winter vibes and a festive atmosphere. The results will be summarized shortly after the event ends. And even after it ends, the server’s winter theme will still remain (with snow and gifts!). Wishing you success and good luck! ❄️
According to the current Santa’s list, you are marked as "naughty". The holiday amnesty does not apply. We recommend following the rules and submitting a new request later
An explanation of how points are awarded for the gnome/cola has been added to the topic. The "Winter Path" quest progress now resets upon death and round change, but persists when the map changes. Hint for "Winter Path": you need to perform five actions described in the legend, in any order. After completing them, perform them with the "final" action.
No. But for your interest in the riddle, I can give you a hint: all correct actions you perform are accompanied by a special sound (a beep), and it does not play again if the action has already been performed
nooooo why u give this hint, everyone will get it now (im surprised people hasnt realised about the beep sound lol….) --- добавлено: Dec 14, 2025 4:09 AM --- Thx anyway
❄️Winter event❄️ has ended — time to sum things up! During the event you diligently cracking open gifts, helped the team, warmed the gnomes, and shared the taste of New Year cola in the safe room, and on the Versus server you unimaginably deftly caught coins and gifts. Let’s highlight the players who paid special attention to this and took the top spots: Пчёлка (Coop), Shayk (Versus), Leon Sensei Ω (EU Coop), Iwatani_Naofumi (US Coop). They earned a truly impressive amount of points during the event. A reminder that active event participants who placed 1–10 won’t be left without rewards either. They will receive points equal to double the amount of points they earned, as well as a winter trail (except Versus).
