I don't expect them to change the promotion (which is now almost over, but I never did expect them to do so); I'm merely suggesting that they include Google+ in future promotions of this type.
<snip>
I've had Gmail for over a decade; I was never forced to make a Google+ account, but I was offered the option to do so at some point, and I did. While it's not Facebook (figuratively), it's also not Facebook (literally), and that's groovy to me.
I'm not disagreeing with the idea of doing a G+ promotion - I'm all for it. More options, not less.
I was just pointing out that in terms of apparent reward per unit effort on the Arc promoters' part, Google+ does not have anywhere near the engagement that Facebook and Twitter do. All the available information bears this fact out.
The plural of anecdote is not data.
If we're going to make the case for Google+, we should make the case using verifiable information: for example, of active Google+ users surveyed, a higher proportion than the other services are in the IT field, ie, a target demographic for a Star Trek MMO.
You do know FB bans accounts made with fake names, right?
And if the prize gets awarded to said fake-name account before the banhammer hits, you'd never be able to claim it because it's not in your name?
Or is that too much logic for you to follow?
If you make up you a fake more realistic first and last name then I'm sure they won't notice that its fake and you can even create a 2nd email for those stuff.
I like how people thinking that giving a false name and making a false account to get free stuff and then deleting it will by-pass their details being siphoned off their machines.
Poor naive fools !

You shouldn't have liked and followed in the first place. ;>
Funny, actually. Most players hate the whole idea of Arc, yet are so gullible and willing to take part in PWE's silly marketing the moment they promisse them some "free" stuff. Kind of sad, really.
Congratulations to all the winners who I'm sure just love Arc right now and all their English names are totally coincidental.
Hm... not sure I like the disproportion of FB winners over Twitter winners.
You guys (PWE) can do what you want, I guess, but it feels unequal.
On the other hand, FB is more intrusive so I suppose you get more bang for your data crunching there.
Anyhow, congratulations to the people who won! Take out a few unsuspecting Tal Shiar and terrorize Ker'rat for me, will ya?

I have a feeling there will now be a mass unfollowing and unliking happening.
I'm not hating on the contest. It was nice of them to do it, but you know how some people are.
^ Agreed though I was tempted to throw in a Twitter follow I decided that being totally opposed to ARC my own personal morals were worth more to me than a Legacy Pack.
That being said Congratulations to all the Winners I hope ARC turns out to be what you want it to be though I have my doubts each to their own :P
It's your world Boss I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut!

its made a mess of 2 computers fo me. i gotta format 2 hdd's because of it. Im not using it again.
I believe God created the universe, because he knew we wanted to explore. So, he made us a playground...
I spotted my name on the list of fb winners, but didn't get a message. Although there are a lot of people with my name and last initial so it might not be me!
I see my first name and last initial for the facebook winner as well.
I don't know if I am one of the winner because of the reasonable privacy measure.
Can someone with the Studios Team post whether or not they have sent the message and to clarified what name/account will they be sending out these messages on Facebook?
