Originally posted by Admin Hey all, Just a heads up - as with all of our contests - we don't take any action until we have all 250 winners confirmed. This almost always is a process of 1-3 redraws - each with 24 hours between them. Once we have all the winners confirmed we will send the list over to Spellborn and they will place you in the beta as soon as they can. Congrats to the winners and good luck as I can almost assure you there will be redraws Keep in mind though that this was our #2 largest contest of all time with 22,500+ entries!
Im taking a screenshot, havent seen you post in what seems like years
Im guessing mmorpg.com is more time consuming nowadays than it was back in 2002-2004 when you posted quite a bit.
Boy, isn't that the truth - even with 3 full time employees there is rarely free time these days! But actually I still do manage to pop in and from time to time - whenever I can - even if only once or twice a week
I really do miss interacting with this community on a day-to-day basis and I hope that someday I can hire someone to take over more of these tasks so that I can mingle with ya'll a bit more

Wow, 22,500 entires is a ton-o-people, congrats to mmorpg.com for even being able to get those kinds of numbers in the first place.
And of course, congrats to everyone who won, I'm sure you'll all have a great time!
Originally posted by moxuout2 Well first off I would like to say congratz to everyone that won. Terrible thing is that I didn't get in and I signed up for the closed beta first day of last year:( I was really hopeing I would get into this contest giveaway, sence I won the Tantra3 giveaway and was confirmed for my free pre-payed card. The thing about that I dont understan is I NEVER GOT MY PRIZE! All my info was correct, I even downloaded the game so I could play it when the prize got to me. But, its been a few months now and no prize. So if anyone wants to give me your prize from TCOS contest ill gladly take it:) Congratz again to all that won.
Yeah I never got mine either.

I am still unable to confirm my winning status, could I please have a helping hand from someone in charge please so that I can confirm, it's driving me nuts at the moment to think that I'll lose this chance =(
Alright, has anybody downloaded the beta client from Fileplanet yet? Once you install it, it opens a dos box and connects to a private torrent tracker to update the client. There's like 3 peers listed and it's downloading at like 3kb/sec (however it makes sure you upload at 30kb/sec or more). All I can say is it's strange as hell and I hope they aren't planning to keep this. At any rate, it won't keep me from playing. Just thought I'd say how weird the update setup is.

I'm struggling with this myself.
Left the client downloading overnight for like 6 hours, and it doesn't seem to have done any good, as it's only just now starting to pull down data.
1.54% and counting...
At this rate I should have it patched by next month.
In regards to the Tantra cards, check your junk mail boxes and hope they're not set to clean themselves after like 30 days or something - mine was in my spam filter box on my gmail account. It seems they just mass mailed it in a manner to get it picked up by spam and junk mail filters very easily.
In regards to this contest, you won't get your key or anything until after all 250 have been claimed/confirmed and even then it will most likely be a couplemore days as after MMORPG.com reports to the developers that they've confirmed them all, the developers then have to send out the keys and activate them on their auth. servers - this has been the standard modus operandi for these contests from what I've heard and witnessed myself.
Hope these helped.
(and yes, I'm still keeping my fingers crossed at a redraw and a chance to get a key myself. )

I already warned Lvcifer about this when he sent me a PM on the first day of winner confirmations. Since he feels he is above the rules everyone else has to go by, I don't feel bad reporting him.

Hey, pirrg. Stop raining on the parade already.
*sigh* 2.84% on patch download.

The Spellborn devs have already said they won't be giving out keys 'til the end if the month.
