Would you like to help us create better events? Do you want to, one day, host your own event on PikaNetwork? If so, you have come to the right place! This article contains everything you need to know about becoming part of Team Events on our server.

Overview

Team Events serves the purpose of creating Discord and in-game events for the players to enjoy. These events are announced by Event Managers on our Discord server. Members of the team receive a Discord role for their efforts.

Team Events applications are reviewed by Event Managers and Event Coordinators (team members hand-picked by the Event Managers). They may take up to 2 weeks to be reviewed. Getting a response should not take longer unless unexpected circumstances occur.
