Entity #038 - The Winter Equinox
Description
Entity #038 is a serverwide event that first started to appear in December of 2009 and has been active ever since. It technically does not have an appearance, however, the supposed “cloud” that causes #038 is its physical appearance; being a flat, semi-transparent brick in the sky stretching over the map that it appears in, with particles falling from it. #038 has 5 phases when active. If a player gets through all 5 phases, they are rewarded with a Roblox badge titled “It snowed.” with no image for the badge. However, people who have participated in #038 and did not leave the game reported that they felt colder than before, but they usually heat up over time. It is currently unknown whether or not other entities react to #038 due to a lack of evidence. #038 is rumored to not be controlled by any scripts, and somehow seems natural.
#038-A
Surname: Phase One
Type: Event
Risk: 1 - Harmless
#038-A is the first of five phases of #038 and is the least hazardous. Lasting only 10 to 15 minutes, #038 can be seen forming around the map. It doesn't do anything else to the map aside that it's quite literally, the calm before the storm.
#038-B
Surname: Phase Two
Type: Event
Risk: 1 - Harmless
#038-B is the second of five phases of #038. Lasting for 20 minutes, #038 starts to produce snow, but only in small patches for now, which will grow to blanket the entire map in later phases.
#038-C
Surname: Phase Three
Type: Event
Risk: 2 - Moderate
#038-C is the third of five phases of #038. Lasting the same time as #038-B, a thick, white fog fills up the map while piles of snow continue to grow. Staying outside can slowly damage the player, so it’s best advised to find shelter.
#038-D
Surname: Phase Four
Type: Event
Risk: 3 - Hazardous
#038-D is the fourth of five phases of #038 and is the deadliest by far. Snow has now blanketed the entire map and strong winds are throwing unanchored objects around; some anchored models may become unanchored and get blown away. Players can be seen dying or getting booted from the game if they didn't take shelter beforehand — their player will die in-game and seemingly “disconnect” from the server.
#038-E
Surname: Phase Five
Type: Event
Risk: 2 - Moderate
#038-E is the last phase of #038. #038 has seemingly left due to the strong winds during #038-D, leaving the map a frozen wasteland — but being outside will not damage you. It’ll stay like that until everyone in the server leaves. Players who survived #038 can be rewarded with a badge named “It snowed.” with no image attached to it.
