    Where did you come across this information? I have not seen anything where they say how they determine the winners, or how they contact them.

    If they are doing it like you say, that basically made it so nobody wins because you and I both know that the vast majority of the face book accounts that were fanned, were fake/created only for this contest. So if they are going to go that route, they will have to weed through close to 40k or more 'accounts' before getting winners. Seems very inefficient and ineffectual to me.

    ^this, it would make more sense that they would use account emails, and match them up with emails on facebook. this would also eliminate the chance for people to enter more then once, but for us people who have more then one email, we'd be s.o.l. b:cry

    The suspense is killing me...... Levels would be nice but that statue would be so awesome.

    Also, yeah how they are actually going to determine proper, valid entries is beyond me. Im checking all possible notifications daily though...

    We are verifying all winners to make sure that they do indeed have a legitimate PWI account and character, and that the facebook account is actually linked to it reliably.

    For this reason, the process of selecting, notifying, and verifying winners will take a little time, but we are committed to getting it done, and we will post the winners here just as soon as it has been completed.

    So, if I read this correctly, PWI has already known the winners, but it is still in the verification process?

    /agree with last post. I use a different account for "gaming" versus my FB account. Guess that means I'm automatically hosed.

    That sucks, if that is indeed the case. b:sad

    so i did some thinking, and i think they prolly just matched up emails, but what they could have done, for the sake of fairness, is just sent out a mass message to people in group, asking what their charrie in game was. if person replied they didn't have one, no free lvls, if a name showed more then once, no free lvls or statue. that way, people who have more then one email could still get the free lvls.b:shutup

    more possibility for ppl who helped by making fake accounts LOL
    yeah, tht should be really appropriate as they've made such an effort!!

    you really think everyone's F***ing stupid to reply "oh, i got 5lvl," "got another 5 lvl on fake account, can my alt have one?"

    well, i understand ppl saying "its pwi's responsibility to support fairly," but dont u think it was possible to guess they may not be able to consider ppl using different email?

    Forgot to mention. u can put more than 1 email address on Fb, u know it?
    it may not be late if u really wanna hav a tiny chance of getting 5 lvl.

    Do u mean fake FB accounts, or fake pw accounts (multiple accounts)? if fake facebook accounts, they can see if the charrie is on the same username as another one; and if the person didn't own up, neither get it. thus it would be hard for someone to win twice if both charries r under the same username. as for multiple accounting, one ur not suppossed to do that anyway, and if pw has a way of checking for it, then they'd do that as well; if not, oh well, they hit that very small % chance of getting picked twice and let karma bite them later (aka they brag about it, get reported, both accounts get banned, and 2 new people r selected; id also imagine they have the ability to take the 5 lvls away as well).

    i personally think this is funny. they just denied all the account farmers who signed up 5000 facebook accounts for a chance to win. cant wait to see the rage when i tell the 2 people i know of who claimed to each have made ~5000 facebook accounts to try and win this. i think i need to have a bag of popcorn and a case of beer ready because this is going to be some good rage when they find out they did it for nothing.

    I don't get all this "Email matching" business. My first thought was that they would pick 5 random people and send them facebook messages saying they won and asking for their character name...

    Yeah... I don't think it has to do with emails lol. Aadi's post makes more sense. Not to mention that, as far as I know, they can't see what email somebody used to sign up for Facebook on. It can be hidden can't it? If they were to message somebody asking for their email, they could easily lie and say it was the same as what they used here.
