    Question! For anyone who qualifies for these gifts, can they wait an unlimited amount of time to click that link to have them sent, or will that become invalid at some point. I've got someone who doesn't play much and they're being stubborn about coming on to get their mount, and I want to make sure they get it eventually. Will the link expire? If so, when?

    thats one for the GMs i guess.. but since we had Anni packs for a year (in some shape or form) it makes sense that the link will be available for at least the whole month to cover folks who may be on holiday etc

    LOL so some of us got 1 blessing...some got 8 and I know of one person atm that has 12 blessings and 18, yes you read right, 18 mounts.
    True this. I figured I'd be clever and leave Firefox "Refresh every..." running in the background, so that when the traffic on the Anniversary page eventually cleared up I'd automatically get my mount/blessing. The result was that I ended up with 8 blessings and 9 mounts. Oops...

    I have no use for more than 1 mount, and I prefer Jolly Jones' Blessing, so it's into the NPC sell box for them, but it's a good thing they're not worth anything to sell or this whole event could have turned into another Duke Rose fiasco. b:chuckle

    I have only one thing to say...Thanks pwi for a mount I don't even need. Its just gonna sit there in my inventory being usless. At least you could of made it tradable so I could give it to an alt or someone that actually needs a mount.

    complaining over.

    Question, what if you recieved a mount on an alt character that is on another server? Is it possible to transfer it over to the server you want?

    Sounds like fun
    I quit. Nothing ever changes @ PWE or PW CN . Expansion was over hyped. Guild bases (that looked cool) can be destroyed, so why waste the time if your a in a small faction like me.

    Thanks Dorset. I quit. Nothing ever changes @ PWE or PW CN

    I have a question, and if I may ask please do not send an automated answer. My girlfriend sent in complaint about the anniversary mount being sent to the wrong character to which she does not play anymore. The answer she was given was to pay to recieve 15gold, as named in game, in real price $15.000 USD. Last year, members were able to get a Free Item account exchange, where people who requested the character that the anniversary mount was to be placed in, would get it freely change to that character on that account. My main question is why does my girlfriend have to pay money for an in-game item that is generally free? Isn't this false advertisment, An item that's free is now not free just becuase the developers sent the item to the wrong character, which now makes that player having to pay $15.00 USD does not make it free, but makes that player pay to use the item.

    *Now remmeber all anniversay items given during the duration of the Anniversary Event 2010 September,03, 2010 to are FREE, if sent to your wrong character you now will pay $15.00USD.

    *All items are sent to the account are useable, but if the item cannot be used on the account do to wrongful explanation then there is gaming-technical issue which requires to be fixed by staff, and this abides to the conduct of internet sales and safe trade.

    *As International rules, you take in all legal directories of participating countries in active work of Perfect World International.(this includes their own conduct and regulations)

    Unfortunately, they're standing by what they've said about it. However underhanded it seems to us. I understand why they won't do all of the manual transfers now, but it most certainly is false advertising in some cases. And its hard to please thousands of people, but that's what they're here for. They've gone about this all the wrong way. They could have saved SO much trouble, complaining, tickets, and unhappy players by simply adding a 'choose your character' option to the link page they made. They should have seen this coming. If not, either they are not too bright, or it really was their plan to try and make money off of the situation regarding the stash stones.

    I'm in the same situation as your girlfriend and know how frustrating it is. I've sent in a ticket, and been told to purchase an account stash stone($15USD)/buy from other players(which is 6mil+?) and had to reopen it for support about...hmm.. 5-6 times already!

    Well since I am the Said Gf in Cred's post I'll add my 2 cents, It really Isn't right that we should have to buy an account stash, since it was a gift you think they could at least ask you what character you wanted it sent to as said by Shivalia, I mean it's free don't get me wrong i'm not upset or QQing over any of that, just really? we HAVE to buy an account stash, which we all know is costly, to get a "FREE" mount and even tho I don't need it and all. That sorta makes the mount not free then. The mount was sent to my BM who I quit but was lvl 94 so I didn't delete him, so What am I supposed to do? Not my fault I switched mains, and have put plenty into this game...

    And Yea canvaz I reopened my tickets too, Just cuz I don't want to pay 15 bucks or 6 mill + to get the thing transferred.
    Hell I even tried to get a live chat but they said We are sorry you could not connect to an operator try again later during regular business hours.

    Not to mention if I recall, did they say ahead of time it would be sent to the highest lvl, or did that happen after the 48 hours? I can't remember and I don't think they did.

    Oh and to anyone who would say farm it... I shouldn't have to it's FREE. Key word there. I'm just saying in all honesty, I just want PWI's staff to think it through better next time, that's all.

    Kinda upsets me that this game is on the brink of becoming close to cases where people will have to make PWI represent themselves in court*.. False Advertisment is meaning strong lawsuit..I remember when the game was simple.. easy.. wealthy. Now its the complete opposite.

    What made me upset even more that the website couldnt hold more then 400,000 active members on the website, and im sure you cannot say it was all the money's fualt. PWI must be Banking millions. In which this made unfair to many players that accounts recieved, and ill qoute this from a player in game "I just got 3 mounts and 4 anniversary blessings(also shown me on the all the alts)", duplicate items? When the ones who respectably just got one reward from what was given.

    You guys can call this QQ'ing or crying but also are you the guys the ones barely making it on game like 70% of the people on your server? i didnt think so...



    (* = When i say that, it means that there is alot of trouble through the system. I dont literally mean everyone should start taking court action.)

    Suing for false advertising? Come on...

    So if you won a car for calling into a stupid radio station, you would complain about having to pay the taxes, the registration, insurance, gas and maintenance? Because if you didn't pay any of that, you wouldn't be able to use it, would you?

    You got a 11m/s mount for free that would have otherwise cost $45, however PWI is responsive for false advertising because they didn't send it to the character that you chose?

    Ever heard the term, beggars can't be choosers? That phrase kinda fits the situation.

    Hey, can you spare a smoke? Oh sorry, that's not my brand, could you go to the store and get me my brand so I could have one? That'd be awesome. Why yes, it would, wouldn't it?

    Moreover: why the hell it the 2010 mount named 2009 anniversary mount? Two years the same mount is one thing- but not even a changed name?.....

    I got this mount on my Barb lv 64, it has no armor, no weapon and 0 coins. The only thing it has is a bounded Redback Skymanta(means i did give the suckers some money).
    They could atleast have given it to my lv 63 Venomancer...

    It's more like someone giving you a free brand new car. Just because you don't have a license, don't want to pay tax or registration, you don't want to pay insurance or have the oil changes, you don't want to pay for gas, you got ripped off.
