Gaming is life...
Nope, this contest was only 5 drawn, 5 win. Starting with our Jump To Lightspeed contest we starting running our contests this way...no one liked the old way.
That was just a typo in the "contest closed" message. The rules before the closing of the contest read:
WINNER SELECTION
Five (5) ticket-winners will be selected on 11/15/2004 at 9PM EST. These tickets will be selected by a computer random number generation algorithm designed by CCI.
As a reward to dedicated members, they will receive an additional chance at winning for every 5 days they have logged into MMORPG.COM, up to a maximum of 5 chances. Only one login per day will be counted. Only dates from 10/17/04 through 11/15/04 will be counted.
The winners will be notified by email within 24 hours of their member number being selected randomly as a winner. Only the first five (5) people to claim their winning ticket will win a prize. Winners are confirmed on a first come - first serve basis. Only the original recipient of the prize email is eligible to win. Winners will be required to respond within 24 hours to claim their prize. If after this time no names have been confirmed, we will disqualify remaining tickets and select the remaining winners by a method of our choosing.
Winners will be required to provide proof of eligibility (age, name and address). Information will have to match your MMORPG.COM account values.
Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of the prize. CCI is not responsible for late, misdirected or damaged communication of any kind including computer failure. All decisions are final. The odds of a winning number being drawn are approximately 1 in 500. A list of winners shall be available by sending a written request to Cyber Creations Inc. c/o contest winners, 75-5751 Kuakini Hwy. Suite ##204, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740. By accepting the prize, winners agree that CCI, its directors, employees, representatives and agents shall have no liability for, and shall hold all such parties harmless against damage, loss or injury that may arise in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from the acceptance, possession, use or misuse of prizes or participation in this giveaway.

Bottom line is, there always has to be someone to whine about everything.
People think the whole world should be fair, even though it is impossible to make it so.
I think Admin should just tell the whiners to quit whining and ban them from future contests. If you don't like the rules, don't play. Frickin' cry-babies ruin everything.

Sorry to have offended you or anyone else, but I was asking about what I saw, I was not aware of the new rules. Ty admin for answering me.
