Dawn of Eclipse Raffle

I'm putting this here, as we had some issues with this raffle and because so, had to change some of the rules, along with start date.

It was previously supposed to start on the 17th, however with the expansion launch came a lot of issues. This caused us to delay the raffle a bit (now starts on 12/24/14 and ends 1/23/15)

Alongside this, we found a few issues that just wouldn't work, so we had to improvise. There will still be 20 winners, and you will still be selected at random. The major change is outlined below:

Previous

You had to use a code to redeem an Eclipse Package. Inside was a token that you would let you know if you've won a chance at the raffle (Think Golden Ticket) This turned out to not work...at all. So we changed it.

Now

All you have to do now is redeem a code for a maiden kissed chest. These codes will be in-game, on the forums, and our social pages. If you redeem it, you become eligible for a chance in the lottery. We'll then pick 20 of whoever redeemed it, and raffle their names for prizes.

The only other change is, we'll no longer have codes for Dragon Orbs after the 20 winners. This may change, but for now I've been told to hold off on that.


That's it for now, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask here.

    I'm a little worried that the chance of winning scales with the number of accounts people have. With the easy leveling added for level 95+ people have created dozens of spare accounts for multiclient purposes.

    Maybe you should add a minimum age requirement as well for the accounts on all entries.

    b:laugh omg , i was actually telling my friend about the raffle today and she said "dont be surprise if pwi gave you maiden chest instead"

    Maiden chest isnt anything compared to Eclipse Package, and the odds of you being in the chosen 20 are so low b:shutup...

    While I understand things happen to cause issues here and there...this seems to be a growing common concern.

    Maybe in the future, to prevent mini riots and mass disappointment, try preventing from promising certain things.

    Like times of events, items included with event, rules of event, rewards of event, hell...even the event itself.

    How can you compare Maiden Kissed chests that are full of...well, junk, to the packages you were going to send out?

    On topic, Sparkles, please clarify what the people outside the U.S. or Canada will have a chance to win, as all the past giveaways exclude physical gifts from being sent.

    Oh funny how when you bring out a brand new pack for the boutique they always work perfectly without an issue...

    but when its for a fun event.... oh why did I even bother getting excited about this.

    Maiden-Kissed Chests are full of junk...do any of you pwi staff even realise how much of a let down this is? Course not, you probably don't play.

    Oh yes because that has proven to be such a succesful venue for the people wanting to know when we are getting this promised new DQ system. You are right i should totally ONLY post my issues with not having the DQ replacement system we were promised ONLY on that thread...i mean its not like they are ACTIVELY avoiding the subject and not replying or anything.

    So, PWI is really doing this? Replacing the Eclipse pack with maiden kissed chests is like a restaurant offering a free steak dinner then as the customers are just waiting to be seated the restaurant says oops our mistake we can't give you steak but instead we will give you a peanut. A peanut is the equivalent of the maiden kissed chest. This is just a major bait and switch.

    For the most part I could care less about the "raffle" part of this. I play PWI on a computer and guess what I use a keyboard and mouse. Additionally 20 prizes for all of those who play is quite poor odds so the only truly good part for most people would have been the Eclipse pack. So without the Eclipse pack it is really not worth my time entering codes to receive 1 maiden kiss pack where I can get 5000exp, 3 mysterious chips, a buff pot or other such junk. Last year for the expansion release event i got 50 hyper stones; this year i might get lucky and receive 50 mysterious chips. I could do better auto cultivating on snowmen for 1 night.

    For the most part I dislike most of the QQ on the forums. This was just a disappointment to me as i was looking forward to this not for the ridiculous low chance at getting one of the "top" 20 prizes but for getting the eclipse packs. Will this make me rage quit, no. However this is just one more example of how we get promised something nice and get it replaced with worthless junk. I have been playing since 2008 so this type of bate and switch is nothing that I haven't seen before but it is ALWAYS disappointing when it happens.

    I can see why they changed the raffle item for this event; what would be the point of disallowing the insta 95 pills for the new race, if they can get free S cards for them? They'd be set up as OP, and any event with ranking based on class would be unbalanced by pure luck. If it's going to be unbalanced any, they'd better be paying out the *** for it, not getting it free in such a random method.
