I remember back in the day you guys did a rune-art contest. A lot of people participated and there were some good contributions. The winning piece looked professional and polished (the maker was a professional artist iirc). You guys ended up using only one of the art pieces while the top 3 was pretty usable (given the other 2 may not have looked as polished). Maybe you guys could consider doing this again and use all the decent ones as rune art (saving some money perhaps). Maybe after the active player count raises again so the chance of usable art increases.
Okay guys my self-hosted rune art contest is over. I will now present to you the top entry : Congratz to Baskitkase, you win one of the rarest runes in my collection. Fire Blast.
I think that its a great idea. Valuable prizes would motivate everyone, so at least 2-3 works would be good enough to use.
For those of you claiming I plagiarized Smaug from LoTR, just stop now. Those are Great BATS in the background, not Great Eagles.
There were bats in the third hobbit movie too. The vulcano makes it obvious it must have been plagiarized from another movie.
