    i'm all for sending the code out again, but only by email to those who didnt get one in the first place. think about it. if they were to make a universal code which everyone could redeem once per account, then the people, like me, who got the code, either on one or multiple accounts, would then have a free second box to get another toon to RB2lvl100. a universal code for everyone to use would be unfair to those of you who didnt get the code the first time around. and from my point of view. i got the email on all my accounts. those toons still require culti and getting gear and leveling up skills and learning to actually play them well. I admit if there was a universal code then i would use it. not to make more toons but to use the exp pills on the toons that already got the gift the first time around. So dont make a universal code. find a way to track all the accounts that didnt get the code, and send an email only to them.

    due to mishaps in my past few years in game, I do NOT accept random invites (faction/squad/friend no randoms period) NOR will I give buffs (cleric/barb/sin/exp if i have it) to random people because they ask. If I DO give buffs to a random person, it's because of a random whim (much like the red detonator button sitting at my desk that i will one day push at a random whim)
    Also do NOT look at my gear and then proceed to pm me asking to buy my gear or for a loan of coin. It's just plain rude.
    I have too many toons to name, but if you play on Etherblade server and you come across a toon that acts this way, or if the world is suddenly destroyed, it was probably me.

    The problem with that is the code never came with a description for what it was. People sent it to their main toons instead of a toon that it would have benefited the most so even many of those who did receive the code got shafted with it too. No need to disenfranchise those who received it but didn't send it to the proper toon just because they didn't know what it was for until they redeemed from the character's mailbox. That wouldn't be fair now, would it?

    i'm going to copy and paste what the email said

    The month of May is Girl Power Month! Did you know that PWI’s Operations Team is composed entirely of women? Join us this month as we take your questions for the developers! Learn how they were able to break into an industry composed almost entirely of men!

    It’s a month long celebration of girl power!

    To celebrate the powerful individuals on our team and in-game, redeem the account bound code below for a Loyalty Box Token, used to acquire a FREE Reawakening II Level 100 gift box including LV 95 gold gear!

    as i bolded the email did say what the code was for, so if someone put it on the wrong character it's their fault for not paying attention

    But it does not state that the Free reawakening II level 100 gift box included other than 95 gold gear. It did not state that it included pills to level a char from 1 to 100 x 3 at all. A gift box could have just as easily included mirage sky pills, barbaric bloods, etc. used on 2nd reborn characters instead of leveling a character. People sent it to 2nd reborn characters because they thought the gift box included items for 2nd reborn characters.

    Oh..it also states it's a Loyalty Box token to celebrate powerful individuals on their team and in-game. The inference of selective targeting is quite clear from that so perhaps those who got the code were indeed actually meant to get it and those who didn't get it really were not meant to get it after all.

    Still will be interesting to see what they do about it.

    ok i can understand how some understood it as items being for a RA 2 toon. putting it like that the wording is kind of vague. as for the "selective targeting" still not sure how they determined it, but since all my accounts got the code, it doesnt really matter to me.

    The vague nature of the email and requirements is the issue.

    no. a code like that should have gone to well established players with existing accounts and character and never ever to new players.

    We shall await and see if @thenamesdomino has any updates before the weekend for us, otherwise hopefully next week we will get some information, it's been three weeks. The sky crystal npc issue is suppose to be resolved by 22nd june, that leaves time for the other 7 issues on the list.

    As for suggestions on how to resolve this code problem, everyone feel free to open a new thread in the suggestion section and provide your suggestions there. This thread is for information update, not for solutions, ideas, bashing or venting.​​

    So is it safe to assume then that those people are not available when there's some Chinese celebration going on?
    Lol.​​

    The funny thing is, most banks in canada do a dragon boat race at some branch/head office or another. So we can not be sure those people are in china onion-12.gif.

    We would want pictures + videos of said people in the race as participants as proof.​​

    You do know the face book event ended 5 days ago, they gave out the code for the prizes that expired 2 days ago?

    I will wait until next patch to see if there is a credible update, otherwise i will take out my mount for the protest.​​
