But yea im not really mad im just kinda confused i thought they said the winners have 24 hours not 2 days? and i want the redraw to happen so i know for sure if im picked or not i love this game
All I wanna know is where all the people are who are still pending, I mean they've given them long enough so what are they all on vacation? If thats so then I feel sorry that they don't have enough determination to find some way to see if they've won so we can get this show on the road.
Bottom line is, MMORPG.com STATED in black and white that these people had 24 HOURS to "confirm" their prize of Roma Victor beta. They CREATED the rules, they SET THE RULES IN PLACE, they above all POSTED these rules on their website. They selected the date and time being 7/01/05 at 9:00PM EST. They also STATED IN BLACK AND WHITE, that they draw the winners and they have 24 HOURS to CONFIRM or they are disqualified. THEY WROTE THESE RULES IN BLACK AND WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now they are letting these people have longer than 24 hours to confirm???? That's so incredibly unfair it's unbelievable that the reputable mmorpg.com has done this. ALOT of people are appalled. Of course alot of you are saying, "mmorpg can do whatever they want" and "they are trying to let people confirm who haven't yet" and the only reason you guys are saying that is because you ALREADY HAVE WON YOUR SPOT!!
Once again the BOTTOM LINE is: (and i repeat)
DON'T POST RULES ABOUT A CONTEST AND MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE RULES AND REGULATIONS REGARDING THIS CONTEST, IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO ABIDE BY THEM AND UPHOLD THEM. IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO COMPLETELY AGAINST WHAT YOU STATED ON YOUR WEBSITE THEN WHY BOTHER TO DO THE CONTEST AT ALL.
I mean seriously, when I saw how many confirm last night at like 9:30PM, it was 130 which means 50 had not confirmed by the deadline THAT MMORPG.COM posted about the contest. And if you look at the numbers now, there's like 140 confirmed now. That is not fair. If you were expected to let people slide in after the 24 hours then you should have just left that part of the rules out of the contest and NOT MENTION IT. By letting these people slip by and letting them confirm after the 24 hours ends up making others that didn't win even more upset because mmorpg.com isn't standing by THEIR OWN RULES to the contest.

Completely unfair and ludicrous, IMO.
Then why not expunge your sorry ass from the contest altogether? Shut up, you whiny bastard. Learn your place--one that does not involve scrutinizing people you have never met. The people at MMORPG.com are doing you and everyone else a favor by organizing this in the first place. Without them, you would have NO shot at competing for beta. Count yourself lucky, as I do.

Though I too wish I were picked for the beta and have not yet been, those who complain that the "rules" were violated by MMORPG.com can look at it this way:
They redrew. You lost again. Man are those other guys lucky -- they won twice.
im confused why are they repicking the same people that didnt confirm their win in the first place? am i just insane or is my eyesight that bad? did that many people not get the answers right? give some one else a chance at winning if im right. it annoys me that so many people dont confirm it and everyone who did has to wait for them. im really addicted to this game i cannot wait.
The best reason I could think of for it not being redrawn would be a server error and it being the holiday weekend ( noone knowing how to fix it being there )...but thats not all that great a reason, either =/
I think the last 40 or 50 slots were meant to be redrawn...what I'm wondering is, even if the server records the time when the people claimed their prize, for the people whom could claim it late because it wasn't redrawn...would the site admins go strictly by the rules, and disqualify them even though they had already claimed the prize? That might cause some confusion with the late confirmers and make them rather angry, regardless of the facts.
i heard some people got mistaken and put greek fire as one of the things in the game but still they are rechoosing the same people so in all they will get another 2 days to confirm their win and everyone else has to wait not fair to all who didnt win.
Thinking back to the past contests, I doubt thats possible, because all the people whom didn't claim the prize by the time of the next drawing were still on the contest page listed as *disqualified*, so I don't think it'd be able to redraw the same names.
Did they and if they did when did they redraw i have been lookin for like 3 days and then i missed it? and yea the people got like 3 days to pick when they said only 24 hrs....

Actually joecc, before you get your panties in a bunch, i was one of the persons who told you that mmorpg.com created the rules and can change them at will, and i didnt win.
People have given good reasons as why some people were still confirming past 9:00, as the website will not be updated by the minute on this contest. Maybe peple did get thier confirmations in before 9:00 but it didnt show it on the site until later.
Honestly, if you don't like it, leave. No one is forcing you to come here, if you are so radical about your view.
Its NOT unfair and its NOT ludacris. No one forced mmorpg.com to bring you, a FREE member of it, the opportunity to partake in this great opportunity. Even if they did let people confirm past the 9:00 mark (which i dont even think they did, i remember seeing 139 confirms before 9:00) so what? its really not that big of a deal, i dont see what your crying over, it was just a few people. If you ask me, your name should just be taken out of the contest altogether for being such an asshole about the whole situaton.

yah they need to forfeit the remaining spots already and draw my name!

If i remember right the questions were either obvious or could be found with a bit of reading.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
