Final Mog Bonanza at JP Vanafest
I don't get why mog bonanza is illegal. You're gambling in a game, there's no actual money being involved. If anything, the REAL bonanza at vaanfest should be banned since that's Real Money.
If the law is a Japanese law, why would they be the only region participating in the gambling lol? I just figured it was an EU law because this issue has come up before in respect to that region.
There are possibly some states that have laws against this type of gambling as well, although I don't think any state has a law against fake money gambling.

If SE has another idea for western gamers, I don't see why the Mog Bonanza has to end for Japan. I'm worried they're thinking about pulling the plug, but I'm sure that won't happen just yet, right? It's quite possible that SE may be jumping the gun because of the incoming FFXIV 2.0 Update MONTHS from now. I know what it is Because waiting around a month to see if you won makes you smoke more therefore giving you cancer making it illegal to pass over seas due to Califorinas strick may cause cancer law :p

Anyone remember how they changed the Game Corner in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver from slots to some silly card-flipping game that doesn't actually take your money when you lose? Probably the same deal. I stopped playing bonanza about 2 years ago and haven't missed it. I knew people that bought 10 marbles for their main and 12 of their mules and still never won more than a rank 4. Pointless.
I don't care if it comes from bonanza or some new event, just sucks I have to wait till the end of the year now to proc scythe on mnk =[ Was the only reason I was looking forward to bonanza tbh
final bonanza? i liked that event. well we haven't had it in awhile (it seems) anyways though... Does SE themselves really think the game is about to fold? That would suck. Least I'm having fun on 14 I guess lol.
I'm guessing sub numbers have continued to drop in the last few months, despite the "new" content.
They may say final mog bonanza, but I wouldn't worry right now that it means the game is winding down. If that was the case, I doubt they would be increasing storage space on the PS2.

The replacement mog bon will most likely be a free raffle where everyone gets 10 tickets or something without having to spend any gil.
Did the nomad bonanza have gil as a prize? I can't recall. Without EU and NA sale of marbles I'd imagine the pot would be substantially smaller.

personally i think that they're pulling the plug so that NA/EU players dont get butthurt if it were to only be offered to the JP community. That is of course if this law thing about time zones is true. i highly doubt it has anything to do with gambling. how crappy would it be if only JP players could win statues! xD

This is how you say JP onry without actually saying JP onry.

There's enough of this ***in society as is. I don't need more of it when I'm playing games and supposed to be having fun. I just wish equal treatment wasn't so much to ask. Or a least someone send the man a dictionary so he can learn the meaning of "balance". Reality denial. It's a ***. I heard something about this. It's because of a mobile game in JP that caused this huge uproar about gambling for items in games, but that was the REAL $$, not an in-game currency.

I'm thinking it may be the way the new law is written thats has caused all this. Conviently this newss breaks after the law change in japan. It's because people making laws don't know how to check their own e-mail.

I got two torques and a sea cape from the Mog Bonanza. I also won a higher rank (forget which, was awhile back when things like Striders and equal level drops were like Rank 2 or 3) on a mule before they added the whole mailing ex to mules things, so I didn't even bother claiming it. (Only prizes at that rank were ex, no gil). They added the whole ex mailing thing a few months later, so that was a pretty big kick in the Proverbial Balls. =(
Small chance to win anything good, but I always found it fun/exciting.

well, this is up to a point, where i think its acutally better if they really close the game while it has at least some rests of dignity left, instead of re-re-re-re.....recycling stuff and calling it updates.
they could of course make it free to play and get in the server maintenance costs by selling ingame stuff for real money. then again this "laws of doom" may make that illegal..... i really wonder if SE, as a company, realizes at all what kind of image that gives away, or if they really blocked out reality that hard. oh well, guess ill play Tales of Graces F and Ni Nu Koni when it comes out here. |
