Last week we told you about Perpetuum's impending one-year anniversary and the robot-powered shenanigans that the devs at Avatar Creations were cooking up for the celebration that took place over the weekend.

Well, the results are in, and Perpetuum's first official PvP tournament (and a PvE scavenger hunt) went swimmingly according to the latest dev blog. Avatar even handed out a few tongue-in-cheek rewards including the Dale Earnhardt, Jr. prize (for the most laps around the combat arena) and the Baby's First PvP award which was given to the best newb group brave enough to enter the event.

If you missed the event, or if you're just interested in a free look at Perpetuum, you can watch the archived video stream at the game's official website.

Great to see these guys continuing to improve the game and having fun while doing it. I wish them a ton of success.

This sounds to have the same idea as the EVE alliance tournaments. Live tournaments imo aren't as popular as they could be in MMOs, but most are fun to watch. The fact that another MMO started doing them with what could be a good direction (haven't seen it yet) is great.

Cheers for the link, gonna check out a match now.

The game allows the larger corps to share accounts and temp bans offenders for a few days. Game if full of cheaters. Not very fun in a sandbox. I'd stay far far away from this one.
