Become a 12th Upholder

Support AQWorlds and Become a Legend!

12 years ago, AdventureQuest Worlds went live and players jumped at the chance to become the first Members of AQW. These lucky, early supporters of the game became the game's Founders. Every October after that, we hold the Upholder promotion - anyone upgrading their account during that period (or whose membership ends in early November of that year) becomes an Upholder... making them one of our most Legendary supporters. AdventureQuest Worlds would not be what it is today without their support.

And now... AQW is coming up on another birthday! Starting now we are once again offering the chance to become an AQW Upholder, and unlock the 12 exclusive 2020 Star Swords, plus the Sentinel Class, Dragon Road zone, and more! And next week, ALL Upholders, 1st - 12th, will unlock 12 Star Swords themed after the Lords of Chaos.

We could not build our games without the support of our long-time loyal heroes. You make all of our weekly releases possible... and allow us to keep most of the game free to play for ALL heroes. Thank you for helping us keep AQWorlds online and updating since 2008.

How do I become a 12th Upholder?

All that we ask is that you help support AQWorlds as we continue expanding the game each week, and continue working to bring AQWorlds mobile to life.

  • Have an active membership that expires after November November 2nd, 2020 or

  • Upgrade your AQW account with a 3, 6, or 12 month membership starting today or

  • Upgrade your AQW account with ANY membership ANYTIME during the month of October

If you are ALREADY an upgraded Legend and your Membership expires AFTER November 2nd, 2020 then you are already a 12th Upholder. On October 1st, you'll automatically unlock your new badge, 12 Upholder StarSwords, and gear. Congratulations! 

Please note that only Upgraded Legend Memberships count towards 12th Upholder.
