They're not "Forcing" you to pay for another month of anything. And honestly, if the only reason you resubbed to XI was for this, then you really need to rework your priorities. Entering for a chance at winning a mythic while you're on a break is so wrong... shame on them!

Don't want to make it by delivery box? That's cool, just use the moogles that have no real purpose sitting around starter cities. I just want my loot already. It's seriously back-handed, yet brilliant on their part to force another month's payment out of people just to collect their prizes.
SE said they were testing the Athena Orb today. And since that is part of the prize bag, it makes sense that they haven't distributed them yet.
Why people are getting so bent out of shape is beyond me. It's only a game.Only a game that we're paying for, yes.
I'm payin for it too, but yet I've managed to not get my panties in a bunch. It'll happen, when it happens.

Not even the mythic, forgoing a scythe that's all jobs, when you know you're going to play again is silly. There's not much game content atm and I've been subscribing off and on only getting on when friends really wanna do something. But I remember not having that stupid pitchfork and kicking myself in the butt for not getting it every month till last October.

Not sure why people assume SE owes us anything. These prizes are gifts. We didn't pay anything to enter, there was no fee. It was a 100% chance easy question to answer which took 2 seconds of your time. People getting mad at not receiving something free as if they deserve it.

Free? lol
These aren't free - - this is part of what they are offering with your membership subscription.
By Ophannus 2012-07-27 22:02:16
It's free because the giveaway is a bonus. They could have not given us one at all, they get nothing out of it. At least the JP bonanza was profitable to them because they charged an actual fee. They're doing this for other regions as a courtesy.

actually they didnt have to do this in the first place. the only reason people are eligible to enter is the fact that you are a subscriber to their GAME. if you would put more effort into actually doing things than expecting everything handed to you, you might feel what is known as a sense of accomplishment,?not a sense of entitlement. Mom! I Want my chocolate chicken potpie! NAOW!!! be grateful if you are fortunate. after all, it is a lottery. with that being said, if youre only hanging around thinking you have a RIGHT to these GIFTS, the game will probaby be better off without you.

First that's my opinion, there's not enough content in this game atm to keep me entertained enough to maintain a subscription. I've been playing this game since NA launch and am not really interested in doing the same things I was doing at 75 so these updates to nyzul, salvage, and dynamis aren't really appealing. I do enjoy a bit of voidwatch but it's hard to get the 18 man group whenever you want to go and I clear most new VW content within a few weeks.
The main content that is missing, and what I enjoyed most, was leveling. Leveling in this game is laughably boring. I use to plan what gear I was going to get, merit some skills before leveling up and then join some people for a bit of fun and grinding. As it stands leveling is a day long event to go from 30-99 and you're likely to be in an alliance that is 2/3rds afk. There is 0 demand for low level gear and it's a shame what abyssea has done to the game in that respect.

The comment was to the "it's only a game", not the fact that they're being slow with distributing prizes.

Sure they get something out of it. Look at all the people claiming to have resubscribed specifically to take part in the contest. Beyond them there could be people that put off cancelling to see if they might win something good. They do these things for customer retention, obviously.

Going out of the way to get some neat r/ex gear was always my favorite. I'd hoard things like nardrs and those lvl 50 jse just to use on the off chance I might level a job. All that gear is on a mule now because I couldn't part with it, but the mule isn't active because I'll probably never need that stuff.

Be sure to notify me when your opinion on my financial expenditures means anything to me.
$13 for a 1 in 584730354 shot at a mythic was fine by me, particularly since there were loose ends that I had to tie up. I mostly did it for the much more reasonable chance at a scythe, however, as that isn't something that can be guaranteed as readily available and is actually pretty useful.
What I did not realize, however, was that "prizes will be distributed in the month of July" meant July 30th, or actually meant "the month of August".

| | Hey gang!
Just got confirmation that things are still moving according to schedule (our "in July" time frame) and that prizes should hopefully start appearing in lucky adventurer's delivery boxes soon! I don't have an exact time for you for when it begins, but one thing to keep in mind is that prizes will be delivered in order, so it may take some time before all of the prizes are completely distributed.
We'll make sure to post once we have confirmed that all prizes are sent out!  | |
The sneaky and stealthy goblins were able to infiltrate the FINAL FANTASY XI in-game item vaults and pilfer a ton of items right from under our noses... It turns out that it was all for a good cause because they are creating a variety of Golden Gobbiebags packed to the brim with goodies for some lucky adventurers to take home.
We have prepared a special survey based on the events and announcements of VanaFest 2012 to be posted after the event. By filling it out and answering the “Gobbie” question correctly you will be entered into a competition where you could win one of many Golden Gobbiebags, each exploding with a variety of rare in-game items!
