It means the characters go to void at the conclusion of the event. You can't play these characters or access their inventory in game anymore. Characters in the void can be deleted or kept as a sort of trophy (you can still post their items to the forum).
They often make them void when the drop-rates are too good (in this case the character becomes too good) in comparison to the normal game.
Race was going pretty good till there was a power outage :(
Lags and disconnection and the very beginning. I was too frustrated after that to play after this calmly. I kept dying a lot. I think this race was pretty hard, due to lot of yellow mobs and their curse mods. Couldn't get past Mud Flats, restarted and died when some corpses exploded, restarted and died at Brutus, giving up finally. Horrible race that was. I hope they will buy better servers in the future. Too may dc and desynchro in this game, but I guess it's what you can expect from f2p game.
Love the concept, when it worked it was awesome but when it didn't work it was frustrating.

Tried Duelist and that was the biggest mistake ever! Hey rare guys, come up and smack me in the face till I'm dead!

Trapper started well but needed some assistance for killing due to that stupid 3 traps restriction.

Lastly went with Ranger and that was going really well, till I got boxed in at a tunnel by a group of crabs that then spawned a rare Immortal aura crab. No way to kill the rare, no way to escape and at that level, no move skill gem to get out of trouble. Very disappointing :(

Initially my ranger was kicking ass thanks to an awesome drop before Hillock:

Just brilliant in this type of race at a very early level. Shame I died to cheap mechanics :(

It seemed that killed a volatile rare did not grant you any mods.
