Krunchy96
DestineeWoodchild

Congratulation! Your info has been sent on to SOE and you will be recieving an invite into the Closed Beta very soon! (We hope today 10/15)

If you didnt win this week you are still in the drawing for next week and the week after. You wont need to re-enter. Your name carries over each week!

Attention: Due to a growing community concern, we have made a minor change to the drawing process to assure that the slots will be claimed. Please see the note in green on the original post

Esperant · #5 10-15-2004, 12:31 PM

Congradulations guys!

I'm increadibly jealous but congrats! Even though I looked most of you up and you never even posted once to the site but who cares... just a sign of my jealousy!

Congrats again and play hard for me

Kudane · #6 10-15-2004, 12:34 PM

Yes, sadly I bet at least one or two of them came here filled out the entry and then never came back.

BUT we didnt require posting as part of the contest, so that is just life

Hey! maybe they will start posting here now that they have won.

hhehehe

Esperant · #7 10-15-2004, 12:38 PM

No offence but I highly doubt it.

Someone posted a couple times and she stated the ONLY real reason why she was here was to win a chance at beta. *sigh* My personal feelings aside... wait, what am I saying...

its just wrong! lol

Grats to the winners!

Well, theres always next week for us not so lucky

shemaxxx · #9 10-15-2004, 12:56 PM

Well I don't post a lot, but since finding this spot I read it a lot

My thoughts on this is you really should have a time frame for winners to come here and "claim" their slot before you send the names in to soe. If the winners dont come here to post and claim their slot within 12 hours you should draw that slot for someone else. That is a pretty common practice and I think it is a fair one.

Oh well, grats to the winners this week and good luck to us all for next week

i am actually trying to work with SOE on this. My hope is that I can re-raffle any unclaimed spots at the end. No word back yet from SOE, but I am hopeful.

mortis42 · #12 10-15-2004, 04:38 PM

woohoo!!!

Grats winners!!

wolfe26 · #13 10-15-2004, 04:46 PM

Just let me get my hands on that picker program for a couple mins. We will all be winners next week.

Kudane · #14 10-15-2004, 04:52 PM

In talking with SOE, I have found the best way to assure that the winners claim thier Beta slots it for me to email them first and tell them they won and have them confirm with a reply that they can claim thier prize.

So we have adjusted the drawing rules a tiny bit to allow me a day to email all the winners. The change is they have to confirm it within 24 hours or we will draw a new name.

This should assure that all the remaining slots will be awarded to an active person.

This sounds fair... (Woot first post...)

Zual · #16 10-15-2004, 06:46 PM

Well while I was at work, all I could do was think did I get lucky for the Beta drawing lol.... I am sure we all will be excite if one of us get in.... Congratz to those that got in.....

Will this site be adding more information as Eq2 starts like helpful things like quest and items and such... I really like this site, seems friendly and cool.

#17 10-15-2004, 07:57 PM

well im sure as hell depressed, I was hoping to maybe get it but instead my guild leader did heh....

oh well story of my life, im never ever lucky, if I want something I have to work extreamly hard for it. Grats to the winners.

Stout · #23 10-16-2004, 01:36 PM

Gratz to all who won

it will be cool to see it pre-released & how it evolves.

May want to consider a 48 hour winner confirm period. Think how bad it would be to be out of town for one day,then check to see if you won...you did...but missed the confirmation due date...what a bummer

. I just checked today, with my fingers crossed. Just mho.

BTW thanks for doing the contest!!

Serpentis · #24 10-16-2004, 05:50 PM

I think 24 hours is fair enough. It's bad enough when they announce the winners and your not listed, then given a 2nd chance by someone not bothering to check....but being made to wait 48 hours is just mental cruelty LOL. It's like holding onto a handfull of sand, watching it slip away thru the cracks of your fingers...only to be caught by your other hand and then not knowing how long it will be able to hold it all until it once again slips away.

Mulone · #25 10-15-2004, 09:55 PM

Gratz guys save some gnolls for the rest of us
