			It's really nice that you are arranging more giveaways. If I were allowed to leave a little note though I would like to ask you to consider the EU players more (equal chances for both regions) next time as the NA players basically have 2 shots to get a code :)

The EU got a shot at codes because gamescon was in the EU.
----
			Since EU codes only work on EU accounts, then no an NA player couldn't just make the trip to get a code.

			lemurian are you really that ignorant? i heard you can get a brand new car if you just fly to brazil reckon you can make it? i mean its easy to get to right you live in america?

'Murica!
 
I guess depending on how many people got codes at Gamescom versus how many are being given away online, the European folks may have more access to the codes.  Speculation of course.  So if they give away 10 on twitter, 10 on tumblr and 50 at Gamescom, well then...   The EU owes us 40 codes.
 
In all seriousness though...  this is from the TUMBLR post on the News and Announcement thread by Big_V
 
"1. Eligibility : Except where prohibited or restricted by law, the WildStar gamescom Giveaway on Tumblr (the “Sweepstakes”) is open only to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia and residents of the European Union who are eighteen (18) years of age or older as of the date of entry."
 
So which is it, NA only, or EU/NA?

			I can't get past the frustration of Carbine locking two highly desired and simple items behind a wall that so few people will get to access. I mean, the table is the table you see all over Illium. Why shouldn't everyone have access to that thing?

My point is, if you're going to quibble about the number of chances one group gets versus another, you should at least count all the chances each group gets.
 
In any case, the whole argument is pointless. They're going to keep giving away codes until they run out. This isn't the first time and it won't be the last. Just like the people who flipped their lid thinking the gamescom giveaway was the only way they were going to be given out, and that meant the NA was shut out entirely were wrong, complaining that in this round the NA gets some more codes given out than the EU does is wrong.
 
Which side gets the most codes or making sure each side gets precisely the same is pointless.
----
			
Oh...yeah...jumping for joy...have to create another social media account for a chance to win a WildStar code. Instead of giving away codes to your subs on your very own forums. Oh, yeah, so brilliant.

			I'm a total twitter noob. The instructions say to retweet, but when I did so, i wasn't able to say if I was NA or EU. So I did the retweet, and made a comment on the post with the requested hashtags.... Confusing =( I mostly use Twitter to follow WS news, so I've only ever done all of 4 tweets, two of them today...

			Not to be an asshat but for an old grump like me that refuses to use twitter, facebook, tumblr and similar social network thingamabobs this makes my chance to get some fun stuff 0 and that makes me a bit sad. I know you want to promote the game to non-players, but you should also consider rewarding X randomly chosen EXISTING customers to get some of these too.

{| class="blockquote"
They are rewarding existing customers, they're just not rewarding the few who don't accept that the internet is a thing. Sorry.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well, that kinds contradicts what Tony said? Since he said they wanted to promote the game for new players, so it's not actually targeted to reward existing players when he explained the purpose of the promotion. "It boils down to us trying to help promote the game outside of the forums to catch the attention to those that have not heard about WildStar"
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, but he's not rewarding the new players, he's rewarding the existing players that participate.
 
Potentially....
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Potentially, new players can surely enter? The promotion could potentially drag their attention to the game and they can also win a code I presume :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No, the participants will be "potentially" rewarded.  They've got a hundred codes to give out.  Many will enter, few will win.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No I meant since you said he's not rewarding new players, they actually do since they can enter as well as potential new players ^^
----
			Haha no worries :p

----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Well the fifty (50) United States and the District of Columbia isn't North America...  Does that eligibility mean us Canucks don't get a shot?
----
			Well I wouldn't complain at not getting a chance to win, but it would be disappointing...  Congrats Carbine, you're now one of three tweets I've ever sent on a twitter account that was set up solely for entering contests, ha!

Darn it! Darn it! Darn it! I just read just by now about this...
 
Darn you Tony, add those informations on the homesite of WildStar and stuff like that. That's for it. This post just got up on the forum, to cach my eye. I bet, a lot of other people had the same problem.
 
You dev's have a lot of new informations, worth learning about, but this goes down like a rock in a lake here in the forums. <_<
----
			
Well, la-di-da. I am watching once a moth the Nexus report, because I don't have the time for that. and all the others I don't use. Those are the devil's work!  :P
 
No really, they are posting it everywhere but not on the most obvios channels, like the mainpage, THE MAINPAGE!!!! Any freaking MMO out there is using their homesites actively. All but WildStar.

And now begins the long wait for if I won. They say that all codes will be out by Monday at the latest.
 
Gotta hope for it. The dream's gotta live.
 
And I can trade a good amount of plat for a NA code if anyone has one yet.	
----
			C'mon! I wanna be fancy, I need that code!	
----
			
Heh, I am actually really wanting that Dominion Table.. it looks.. so.. bloody good. :D
 
Good luck to all of us who participated! (now.. if only we could add a couple of zeros behind the 50 available codes and it would be rather excellent!) :D

			Well, excuse me for not watching in every corner of the forums and not having any thirdparty communication bull. And only watching once a day on the main site of Wildstar. I simply want obvious informations at obvious places. Nothing fancy.

			So, I got a notification on Tumblr that I won and responded to it and haven't heard back yet from anybody. Have the codes been given out and I just screwed something up?

			Aw. That means I didn't win :( I guess I'll have to continue being normal fancy for now.

In response to post #7 (sorry my quoting isn't working...)
 
You do realize Brazil is not the same continent as North America right? As such, saying a North American should travel to Brazil is not quite the same as saying someone in Europe should travel to another European country.
 
In any event I think the arguments on both sides about the # of codes is a little absurd. Who cares? They're just fun little items.
