Sorry for the radio silence! I’ve been juggling the upcoming animated series, album #2, comics, as well as some additional stuff regarding the 360° Hexperience, our virtual ”live gig”, which just came out a couple of weeks back.
The response to the Hexperience has been amazing, and I want to thank all of you who've raised their horns and crabwalked with us through this painful yet rewarding journey. You rule! 🔥🤘🔥
And yes, if you’re still interested in checking it out, you’ll find the info on igg.me/at/belzebubs. Please note, though, that Indiegogo doesn’t offer an autoreply to which I could add the necessary details to, so I’m always sending out the infos out to you manually, so to speak. 🙂
So apparently you can attend Aurora’s concert while stormlocked. I had like 6wl left at that moment lol. But once you’re go home, it’s still stormlocked and your only other option is use return shrine to eden.
As I was going to return shrine, there was the pop up inviting me to auroras concert so I pressed A. Totally did not expect it to work.
CRK x BTS Collaboration Stop #1: BTS Ticketing Pre-Registration
⚙️ Welcome one and all to MY special booth rented out for the Baker’s Street Newsblog to cover the BTS collaboration at a reasonable distance from everyone else, where I can continue my PERSONALIZED coverage and tinker with my router’s missing components some more. Here we have stop number one in the collaboration: Pre-registration.
Follow the instructions on the webpage btsincrk.com to submit an entry and add yourself to the list, where three hundred (300) lucky pre-registrants that opt into a separate raffle during registration will receive one free ticket to see the World Expo 2030 Busan Korea Concert, where you will see BTS perform “Yet To Come” live in the Busan Asiad Main Stadium. There’s a whole other side to what happens if you win, but those usually require personal details that would crumble you in more ways than one if they got to the wrong guy.
Even if you opt out, you’ll still retain an entry to see a BTS concert in the game itself credited to the email address you used (and possibly to your DevPlay account if your email is associated with one), performed by the BTS Cookies themselves in Cookie Bowl Stadium on October 13th.
Entry Submission Dates: 9/23, 10 AM KST - 10/3, 12 AM KST
Winner Announcement: 10/6
In-Game Concert Date: 10/13
Live Concert Date: 10/15, 6 PM KST
⚙️ You might ask yourself, “Well, why should I?! I don’t plan on seeing them!” Well, you know what? That’s a sentiment that has a 99.9999999~% chance to be shared by others around the Earth. Even if you have zero interest in the band, there are a number of milestone rewards that will grant EVERYONE a bonus if those numbers are met:
500k entries: 1,000 Crystals 💎
1 million entries: 3,000 Crystals 💎, 10 BTS Crossover Gacha Pulls 💡
2 million entries: 5,000 Crystals 💎, 15 BTS Crossover Gacha Pulls 💡, Braver Together! Concert Decor 🎁
⚙️ If all the milestones are met and ALL of the listed rewards are granted, you could win 16,000 Crystals and 45 attempts at the event gacha where you could meet the BTS Cookies yourself and win a LOT of decorations (a lot more decorations than Cookies if the Disney gacha was anything to go by). There’s also a few starter decors, but those are minuscule compared to what could be listed in the gacha. If you’re not here for the music, do it for a quick haul of free Crystals. You’ll win either way, and I know everyone loves a win-win situation.
