UberCon Contest
The UberCon Contest is a regular feature in-game for those players who can't make it to New Jersey for the UberCon. Each contest is slightly different, but involves the purchase of an in-game character, usually a remort class or race, and a leveling competition. Typical prizes involve decaying insignia, but players get to keep their remort character. This is a great way for players to purchase a Sorcerer, Berserker, Demonseed or other character they couldn't otherwise create due to a lack of time.
