Meet the Leaders: Day 15

You have until Tuesday night to pick up the Ultimate Leader Upgrade in the shop ON SALE, get all the benefits - worth over $2,000 - AND share in the amazing Leader Milestone Jackpot that leaders will enjoy this week.  The Jackpot ALONE is worth far more than $100, so head to the Upgrade Shop and join the leaders now. New players welcome!

Remember: Through May 31, 20% goes to Operation Supply Drop to help fund video game rooms for US, NATO, and ANZAC troops. 

BIG NEWS IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE FULL PRICE: The Empire.Kred Leaders have stepped up to make more 50/50 scholarships available to those who can't afford even the discounted $100 price for the Ultimate Leaders Upgrade. You pay just $50 and the Leaders pay the other $50 so that you can access all the benefits that come with leader membership. (It's yet another example of the wonderful community you're joining when you join the Leaders. They are generous with their time, their support, and even open their wallets to help people join.)

HERE'S HOW TO APPLY: Contact (e)NANCE right away. 50/50 scholarships will be awarded based upon need and commitment to the game and some are available for new players. There may also be a few full scholarships available, so if you are unemployed, from a country with a punitive exchange rate, running a small nonprofit, or otherwise unable to pay, it's worth putting your name in the hat.

5. While you are on each leader’s page, be sure to take the time to ConnectUP. Plus, watch for gift and invest missions. They will run some and other leaders will also run them, so check the mission feed. (You never know when a mission may trigger an achievement.)
6. Not a leader? Consider joining TODAY and YOU could still be featured in the Quest. Go to the Upgrade Shop and select the Ultimate Leader Upgrade – it’s on sale.
