Daybreak Games is thrilled to share its plans for this year’s Extra Life charity campaign, which will include the yearly Game Day on November 2. In addition to being selected Extra Life’s Partner of the Year Extra Life Award 2024, Daybreak Games has already raised over $40k more than its $100k target, all of which will go toward supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals around the country.
In the spirit of friendly competition, the community is encouraged to support one of the four studio teams and join Daybreak’s Super Team. With open invitations to their communities to join, each game and/or studio team has established its own fundraising target and incentives. The local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals for each team will receive all donations, which will then be utilized to benefit the most underserved areas.
This week’s Extra Life schedule for each Daybreak Games team includes Game Day events on November 2.
Our goal this year is to cross the $20,000 mark, but we have rewards for everyone in the game when the team crosses other milestones on the way. Curious to know what they are? We’ve got a lineup of brand-new rewards specifically curated for Extra Life 2024, as well as the grand return of several fan favorites! Our community has already unlocked the first three milestone incentives, giving players the Glimmer Wings, Helper’s Halo, Patron’s Plumage, Star Crown, and Angelic Drone Emblem cosmetics. There are five tiers to go, so be sure to join our team and help a great cause.
Fans of D&D Online can watch a special Extra Life livestream. On Saturday, November 2nd, the team will broadcast live from 8 a.m. to midnight ET. As they encourage participants to raise money for underprivileged kids, the team will be giving out prizes and other treats. Through random giveaways, players who donate $10 or more will be rewarded with three tiers of community benefits for reaching the $10k, $20k, and $30k milestones. Additionally, players can select their own prizes from the Community Loot List when they donate $10 to $60 to Extra Life. View all the information HERE.
To support Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, Darkpaw Games is mobilizing their community. A Lustrous Flying Carpet, three Overseer Packs, “The Kindhearted” title, and other goodies are available to players who contribute $5 to $100 or more. There is no need to choose between EverQuest I and EverQuest II codes; players who give to Darkpaw’s team will receive codes for both. Check out the complete lists of community incentives for EverQuest and EverQuest II Extra Life, which include a staggering 160 percent increase in loot drops, 250 percent more rare spawning, up to 200 percent bonus XP increases, and much more.
Similar to previous Dungeons & Dragons Online initiatives, Standing Stone Games is rewarding players of The Lord of the Rings Online with Extra Life rewards. On Saturday, November 2nd, the team will be hosting a livestream from 8 a.m. to midnight ET. In addition to entering the randomly chosen lotteries for additional Community Loot List picks, LOTRO Points, and the newest expansion, Legacy of Morgoth, donors can select from a variety of things in the exclusive Community Loot List.
