Community Spotlight

SupportScape & ScreenieScape

These two communities who are focused on being diverse, inclusive and welcoming bastions of friendly players will be hosting the following event:

World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 ~ Change the Narrative ~ A Living Ribbon!

This year’s theme is all about Changing the Narrative on Suicide by talking and sharing, shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support. Every conversation, no matter how small, helps to contribute towards a more supportive and understanding society.

They will be gathering at Fort Forinthry for some fun dancing and chat before getting together to create a wonderful symbol of hope, a "Living Ribbon", by placing our characters in the shape of the Suicide Prevention Ribbon and making some lovely screenshots together to mark the occasion!

• When: Sunday, September 1st @ 18:00 UTC
• Where: Fort Forinthry
• World: 119

Feel free to come dressed in one of the colours of the Ribbon, either purple or teal.
