    One more thing... if MMORPG broke the rules to make sure that someone in Asia won, then it wouldn't be a fair and random contest.

    Everything Works if you let it

Especially if they reset the timer and throw all the members out of the contest if they are stupid enough to be on the site when they change the timer.
    Cheating always seem to work better than loyalty
    Oh cmon quit the fracking whining allready about a contest, its free things their giving away, veteran on the site or no veteran, its a random number the computer pulls up of the hat.

EVEN if they did have the money to give everyone on the forums a new computer or some other prize, why whould they want to give it to dumb-ass people who cry foul everytime something doesn't go their way. Pulling that race thing REALLY makes me mad



    HOLY COW, cry and get it the hell over with.



    up for that one :)

    What the hell r u talking about ? I''m not talking about my winning.I'm talking about the so-called random drawing process which was not random at all.They have prepared the blueprint b4 the contest that what to give & whom to give.It's not possible that there r not even a single entry from Asia .Who the hell is saying that I-Buy should provide new PCs to everybody.According to the rules ,every country should be given the same chance of winning which unfortunately didn't happen coz  they did discriminate.Believe it or not.

    Since the majority of ppl who reads/registered on  this board are from NA of course they will be the majority in drawings also. As I stated above only 68% who won are from NA, the rest are from mostly Europe and there are some from China, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. Also some of  em from SA too. So I still dont get what is the fuss about.  I have won an actual prdocut not just a key from mmorpg twice and have received both, actually I was really amazed that they shipped those over here to Troll country. 

     

    Again many kudos to all the mmo staff and happy new year:):)

    Could u please explain that , how can 99% of winners r from the same country in a " random Drawing"  ?
  • KraptorKraptor Member Posts: 359
    Ugh, they are not from the same country...
  • lobeslobes Member UncommonPosts: 127

    There are winners from China and Singapore on the list.

    Last time I checked, these were "Asian" countries.

    So what is your problem again, oh that's right, its just that YOU didn't win.

    Still always having winners that made maximum 15 posts on that account kindof make me think people are making multiple accounts just to win stuff.



    Especially with "everyday log" thing being broken



    Whatever , i am not a loyal member here because of prizes



    But because i love mmorpg.com crappy members

    No they are not. 87 of those ppl are from diff parts of the World then NA and that is a lot more then 99% if the total winners  are 271 people.

    and still 90% off those who win are from NA, this is bull .... excuse me, if you look at that list you will see something like 10 or 15 winner's from outside North America , i had enough is the n contest i participate and in each one is the same . If you want my opinion i prefer those Prints NA only at least i know i can't participate me and all the others from outside NA



    Actually more like 30% or so of the winners are from outside NA.  Considering it's a NA website where the vast majority of members are from NA the fact that 30%+ of the winners are outside NA is pretty impressive.



    But people will always find something to complain about I guess.

    I'd say u'r a vet , mostly because you have been a member of the site for 2 years, like me , but i never showed much activity to the forums, i've allways only read the article's here on games etc. and interview's , but hey its not about winning, its about the great work MMORPG.com has put into it :)

    Yep I really don't care about the prize.  I entered on a whim.  It's not like the prize I won is all that great anyway.  Silly SOE Collection thing.

    You sir have serious issues.  over 32% of the winners are from outside NA.  Get a grip on reality.

    Hehe, well i played SWG my self for a good year or more till they ruined the game with CU / NGE , then it was time to pack it up, but i wouldn't mind the collection thing , allways good to have something on the shelve from them, in memory of the good time there was, but Eve Online is a great game also, from looking at your signature, but it would be a waste of time for me trying to catch up to the old vets there even tho my char has 16 million SP, but apart from that he's ruined ;)

    Heh :)  Actually SWG is what causes me to want nothing to do with SOE ever again.  When they rolled the CU I was unhappy but stuck it out seeing that they really were trying to improve things.  Then they slapped us in the face with NGE... So I went to EVE.... Loved SWG Pre-CU and even after the CU it wasn't horrid.  NGE really ruined it though and I'll never go back probably not even if they create a "classic" server.   They burned a major bridge with me (and most other SWG Vets) when they rolled out the NGE with no warning whatsoever saying it was what we had been asking for when it patently was not.   What's sad is I had beta tested both games from VERY early beta and had chosen SWG over EVE even back then.  I could have been in EVE all along but I made the mistake of trusting SOE to stay true to their Vision.   I never pay for more than 1 MMO Subscription at a time so I missed out on years of skill points in EVE due to my mistake in trusting SOE.



    As to EVE, if you have 16mil SP you are more than capable of competing in EVE :)  I only have 6mil SP or so and I do just fine even against vets that are 3 years old in the game :)  My 6mil SP is pretty much exclusively in combat skills.  :)

Just because you logged in 1000 times doesn't mean you get a prize. Also, 99% of the winners are not from the same country. Mmorpg.com was nice enough to put this FREE competition on in the first place. Get a grip you whiny bastards.

    My char in Eve is roughly as old as when retail started, but i never played much, for a time i just kept my account active, but still logged in to train when it was needed, as for SWG, yea they really pissed on all the vets, and pretty much every vet left the game and won't return even tho if they start up a classic server, but i'm also keeping a close eye on a community who is trying to see if they can get a Pre-Cu server up and running, time will tell, yea my SP is enough for me to go around in the game and my skills are also mostly in gunnery / engineering etc. so im able to keep people from fleeing from me ;) , but its been so long now since i played last, that ill be missing so many skills so i won't be able to handle T2 stuff etc.

    Didn't these same kinds of posts show up after one of the last contests?

    Not everybody could win.   There was no grand conspiracy.  

    You lost.  

    I lost.   

    Get over it.
