SSX Looking for 50,000 Virtual Riders

SSX Looking for 50,000 Virtual Riders

Join in to get your Global Events Badge

Written by Matrarch on 14 March 12 at 17:53 | Credit to TalkingJROD

One of the main selling points in EA's SSX is the large scale global events that take place in the title. Thousands of riders from across the globe can participate in them and if a large enough number do so, in this case 50,000, players can earn a badge to show they participated.

Of course, getting 50,000 people to play the same game in a fairly limited time window can sometimes be challenging, so EA has stepped up by posting a two-week long Global Event in an effort to attract 50,000 Riders. The event, which is listed on its Facebook page as being located at "Alps - Vorassay - Beyond the Fall - Trick It!", will run for two weeks, hopefully giving everyone ample opportunity to join in.

Getting this event to 50,000 participants will help all involved make progress toward the following achievement, which you'll need if you want to complete the game:
SSX The Gold Spender The The Gold Spender achievement in SSX worth 215 pointsCollect all Gold Global Events Badges

As an added bonus, if the event eclipses the 50,000 rider milestone, EA has promised that they will unlock Level 11 for your riders and a collection of Level 11 gear.

The event is active right now and will run through March 27th. Make sure to bring your friends!

Might rent it from Red Box just to lock it in before there aren't 50,000 people on it later.

So I am assuming that even if you play before 50,000 have participated you will be credited with the badge upon the counter hitting 50K or will you need to play again after the 50K mark?

Everybody must play or die..sorry I was one of the people who played when it was 49,000 and got screwed because I was at work when it passed 50k
I know I missed my chance too. Maybe we'll get lucky and more people will be on this weekend.

I can't believe EA has put another one of these achievements in after NBA 07's "Be online with 1,000 people" achievement. They never learn...

i played in the one that did go to 50k when it came out and didnt get it so im guessing you have to play in it when it has over 50k riders
