| Greetings! As many of you seem to be curious about the status of the Nomad Mog Bonanza, I’d like to take a moment to explain the current situation. The North America and European Community Teams have been working diligently preparing for the Nomad Mog Bonanza, but unfortunately due to changing times and differing global laws, we will not be able to hold a Mog Bonanza for NA and EU regions moving forward. While Japan will hold the Nomad Mog Bonanza at VanaFest 2012, it will mark the final Mog Bonanza of Vana’diel. Furthermore, to make sure that our players in North America and Europe aren't left out, we will be holding a separate event where players will be able to win similar prizes (all the goodies from tier 1, tier 2, and tier3…plus a bunch of other rare in-game items), so rest assured we will be giving you a good opportunity to make all your Vana’diel dreams come true! Also, even though the Mog Bonanza will be gone, we will be offering a different event for our end of the year celebration for a chance to win the items of your dreams! We will be announcing the NA/EU event very shortly, so hang tight and look forward to it! | |||

Final Mog Bonanza At JP Vanafest

Final Mog Bonanza at JP Vanafest
[+]
I +1'd that post and now I regret it. ; ;
[+]
The event will be called "Pay SE another monthly fee".
[+]
Its a Kalilla post! That alone deserves a [+] :P
Anyway, hopefully this separate event doesn't cost us RL money. "Buy XI collection 4536463 and get a code for a chance to win big prizes!"
[+]
Inb4 “SE favors JP Players”
Who am I kidding. That blows :(
[+]
What they are really saying is that this is the end my friend.
[+]
I'm honestly a bit relieved, I never won anything above rank 5. Keeping all those marbles in my inventory for a month just to find out that I wasted 10 inventory spaces for some statue in my mog house was annoying as hell.
[+]
All of my Vana’diel dreams come true, one statue at a time.
[+]
What kind of new event will we get? Ideas?
I'll miss the bonanza. But on the bright side, I won't miss having 10 inventory slots on every character taken up with marbles. ^^
Edit: Kalilla beat me to the punch so hard I felt it all the way over here! :p

Now, "we will be holding a separate event where players will be able to win similar prizes (all the goodies from tier 1, tier 2, and tier3…plus a bunch of other rare in-game items), so rest assured we will be giving you a good opportunity to make all your Vana’diel dreams come true!" Can't wait to get that Behemoth Hide... to make my dreams come true.

I'm kinda confused. I thought the "nomad mog bonanza" was the real-life one they've held several times in Japan, whereas the regular "mog bonanza" is the one that occurs in-game. I can see doing away with the real-life one, especially when they can't offer the same thing in other regions, but what exactly is wrong with having their normal in-game one that's available to all players?

It would be nice to know the law(s) that are stopping this event from going forward in game, would be interesting.

lol it's illegal to gamble in a game in NA or EU now? it is a game where you spend fake money for a chance to win fake prizes how is that illegal in US EU oh i get it. it is because we are playing a JP orny game. if that is the case i want my Godzilla mog house statue for rare item so i can bazaar that. every time a jp /c me bamm scared to death.

The whole game could be boiled down to paying real money for a chance to win virtual prizes. Sounds like another cop-out excuse to me >_>
[+]
So wait... all those lotteries, like Powerball etc., that go on are illegal? I find that hard to believe.
Must be the drawing of the numbers/balls/tickets they do in their office that is somehow illegal. :|

That's not illegal

Don't other MMO's have this issue now as well? I don't play anything else but I've heard about it happening a few times before.
Japan just made it illegal to make a game that people will soak money into like "gambling to win a prize"
