It's still a substantial amount of FREE GIL (or item that can be converted to gil). Is it really free if you have to buy marbles?
That's why it's a contest and not "take this free stuff."
Even the rank 3 gil amount (from 2010) was more than 28 times the amount required to buy 10 marbles. So, yes, it is a significant amount of free gil, if you win, relative to the investment.
Is having to pay to enter a contest the thing we're going to *** about this time around?

I want to say your account has to be at least 3 months old (total, not your current subscription). Then all you have to do is activate to buy the marbles, and then activate to check your numbers.
It will be 2 payment cycles, just write down the numbers you pick so you can check online if you need to get on or not.
Just thought I would point out (in case people never thought of it) since the billing was changed to 30 day cycles instead of monthly cycles you can get everything done in just one billing cycle. If you start your 30 days billing cycle in late February to buy your marbles, the prize collection period will start before you get to a second cycle. That'll show SE! They're not getting an extra 2 dollars from me.

I think some of the prize options should include extra inventory space (special sack or something) or 1 piece of that fancy-pants GM equipment lol. But that's just me I think :\

No abjurations from legion or provedance? Only rank 1 and 2 have anything worth getting excited about. Just my 2 cents.

Rank 6 - Mog Missile, but not Moogle Suit + Masque.
Another slap in the face for people who got nothing from Gobbie Giveaway.

At least ALL of the ark weapons are rank 4? They even added the saber, tabar and tachi!
edit: though honestly they should be rank 5 (i misread it the first time)

I'm kinda disappointed at the choices, but I'll be happy if I get anything besides mog missles...which I know I will probably get.
In other news Japan already selling SoA soundtrack (pre-order by the looks of it anyway)
http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/SQEX-10362
And pre-orders for 360, ps2 and probably PC 2. Still no pre-orders this side of the globe Q.Q
But really just ONE pulse cell? really? so much for trying to get a Coruscanti for my Galka thf & dnc w/o bothering with VW (no one does low tiers anymore, and everyone knows no one wants you in the good ones unless you have the proper meds so you are not constantly dieing lol) I know what I'll go for, though i'm going to rage if one of my mules wins the kupon rank (RW, MW & EW) since you can't Dbox them anymore, so I'll just grab something good that can be Dboxed, but still be a Sad panda that my Galka wont get a dnc mythic, or tohi drg mythic.

Nono, read it again. It says "taichi". Clearly an Ark Angel workout.
Seriously SE, spell check your ***! You'll get people's hopes up offering Wyrm Bears and Ark Tai Chi. Sounds like Noah's running a luxurious ark vacation package or something.

I read it with the typo in tact, but used common sense to figure out it was a tachi lol :P.

I'm getting the same number 10x so I can get a mythic for every job I don't have 99'd B-)
(but seriously, this is the lamest, most irrelevant prize pool they've done.)

So I've never used mules for these bonanza's before. It seems pretty simple though. I just need to activate a bunch of content ID's on my account, send money to those level 1 characters, buy marbles, and then if I win anything, just send it to my main and then I can deactivate. Am I missing anything?
I'm hoping for a mythic just like everyone else, but I at least want to give myself the best chance of getting an ark scythe.

It's just such a downgrade from the goldengobbiebag that is why people are wanting the "utility" prize. I mean where's the HQ abjuration pieces? the moogle suits? Why just bodies from NNI, why not just make a Platinum Astrarium the prize instead?

The dont need to give a KI they could make a Mog voucher NI same as the relic mythic and empy weapons.
Edit: thinking about it they could have added vouchers for:
Limbus v2 in rank3
New HQ abj gear in rank2 w/o the honor
Limbus v1 in rank4
Old abjs in rank5 only the abj not the actual piece of equipment.
They could have stuck marrows, cinders, dross and the mythic items in rank2.

Hell if their excuse is about getting multiple items they could make marrow cluster, heavy cinder/dross pouch and mythic item cluster. All of them ra/ex like the cats eye and will count as adding the amount needed of that item for the level 99 trial.

There is usually a minimum required number of days the character needs to be active before it's eligible to participate. In this case, it's 32 days. And since the contest ends at 12 AM on the 28th... I'm very sorry but I hope you did this already. :(

I think they meant for every losing marble though. Instead of a guarantee 1 statue we get missiles! :P
Slycer said: They had their legal teams in each region working on the issues around the Mog Bonanza to get it resolved. They're happy to announce that they've come to a settlement on this and will be able to resume hosting the Bonanzas with the next one scheduled for either late January or February. Usual suspects will be around including Cat's Eye, AA weapons, etc. (they asked for recommendations, too), and obviously more details will be announced as it gets closer.
