Well, I officially call BS on this contest. Wow it got delayed at the very last minute AFTER the drawing was supposed to happen. I think someone else other than one of their "Pets" was drawn so they decided to say it didn't happen.
I have been around here for a long time and seen some awfully shady crap in my time, with ballot stuffing, selling ratings according to advertising, reviews based on BS, etc. I have kept coming back here and after this may very well end my time here. The forums have turned into just a troll hangout for people watching their post counts and claiming to be superior because of their high post counts and with this BS now I say goodbye.
I remember when this site stood for something, a place to find out important mmo news and beta news, but alas those days are gone.
Well, have your opinions if you must, but none of the things you mention have ever happened at this site. We tried our hardest to get the contest drawing system online but we just can't. We have a totally new network layout with a firewall and some things are just not working yet - we have only had the entire site up for a few hours - please give us a little slack.
We only have setup the machines and services necessary to get our basic site online and we are missing a lot of admin functionality at the current time. We will be working through the night to continue to reformat and migrate old machines int our new secure network.
Again, your patience is very appreciated.
No problem. Afterall, nobody said that you had to give us a kick ass computer anyway. O I hope I win, I'm going crazy
Hi guys this is my first post on these forums and ive been playing mmos for 3 odd years now starting with coh and i entered this contest god almost begining of april i really hope i win money is real tight for me so this comp would replace my old rig which id give to my brother so we can play at the same time finally so fingers crossed.
p.s thank you mmorpg.com for this great chance for someone to win an amazing computer.
Anyone can search the internet for a pic like that and say its theirs thats not hard i mean if i had to upgrade my comp i would have to by 1 piece at a time and it would take maybe a year lol as i work for my father i dont get payed i just get tips so its real slow going.:(

Take a deep breath and step outside.
QFE relax man! All this stress is going to kill you early!
Not really. IF I won it would be my new pc. I am looking forward to winning. So if one of you win it must have been a mistake. Please go ahead and fix the mistake by sending the computer over to me. thanks.

If I won I would give it to my significant other. I would tell him it was so that I could have a computer to myself (even though I really do...because he never gets on the computer). Secretly though it would be so I could get him to play a MMORPG with me. He loves video games, but refuses to play a MMORPG because he doesn't want to "sink to that level of geekdom". I am determined to get him to play though, and this computer would be perfect to help me.

I tricked mine into playing Guild Wars with me. He didn't want to sink $50 into a copy of the game but I found one that was mispriced at $9.99 while at Best Buy and he couldn't argue with me. He now owns all three expansions and plays more then I do.

If only mine was as simple as that. He rarely uses the computer so getting him his own PC would be a huge waste of money (espically a gaming PC). If I got him into the games on my PC it would kind of defeat the purpose because I wouldn't be playing with him (and I really don't want to compete with him for computer time). There is also the fact that I think he would be looking to hate the game, end up playing all by himself, and actually end up hating the game because all he did was solo. So pretty much I need to win him a computer, and guide him through the game.
since allegedly the data for entry into the competition is lost - they cant find a deserving winner... they are struggling to find a non-trolling account holder...
PS - this post has no basis in any knowledge of the situation
I have a nice alienware rig that is a bit better, but I play alot of PS with my kiddo and one of us has to play on a much lesser system which chugs thru big fights. Would be nice if we both had solid systems 8)
It would be a real shame if they lost the data for the contest, that's for sure... :S
I initially forgot about it but now I remember I've been rather excited. I know there's only a slim chance of me winning but that awesome beast would definately replace my current one for sure
If they really lost all the entry data for the contest then I think they should just keep it simple and give the computer to me! Heh Heh.
Actually, they will probably draw the winner tonight and of course the winner will be some random name that we have never seen on the forums anywhere before. And it will probably be some lucky putz that won the 347 million powerball lottery in 2005 or something and already has a $40,000 home computer lol. ...That's just the way the cookie seems to crumble most of the time it seems.
The computer would replace my now dead, Pentium III-level computer (800Mhz AMD, 128MB of SD RAM, GeForce 4400). After years of service, it finally died last week, perfect timing for the new machine to move in. If I did win the new computer, I'd first, weep like a small child with joy, followed by using the money I'd save to upgrade a friend's computer (who's running practically the same machine I was, which oddly is the computer I'm using to post this).

Back to topic: If I win, im giving my current rig to some type of charity... or I may sell it and donate the money to Red Cross.
Although I don't think i'll win since I JUST won something in a raffle last week, but maybe i'll be on a spree ?
I guess I better go kill myself.
lol I play wow on a 6 year old computer using dial up....
theres a few mmos out that id like to host
