FrizzFreston.5290 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Well, you know how these days everything is "America first". Right? :p But seriously really, after they switched the terms to US only I didnt think they suddenly would account for EU and non US accounts, even if previously connected. They obviously couldnt manage it, so I really doubt they could now. Ofcourse, it could be they want players to start a US player-Non US player buddy exchange program so everyone outside of the US will get teamed up with one USbuddy to get a code. Who knows.

There's an app for that, or if you're using an emulator, it's a built-in feature. Unless they're planning on limiting it to 1 per IP, there was no reason for them to do this.

Gaile, can you confirm that absolutely nothing will be done to compensate the non-US players that cannot access the economic advantages you are giving to your US players with this promotion?

Menadena.7482 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yay! Just added the outfit to my main and finally upgraded my ftp account. I will confirm things when I get home (can not get on the game from here but can use the web) but all looks good. Two odd things I noticed: 1) There was a 60 second timer on the app. No idea what that was even for since it sent the codes in an email. 2) Oddly, my previous ftp account has a terminated forum account as I was checking if she had access now. Not sure how that happened but oh well. @"Gaile Gray.6029" maybe the forum mods were cleaning up ftps before today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewcifer.5198 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My app crashed when I redeemed the reward but I still got my email with the codes.

I am not sure what you are asking, but perhaps this will answer the question: We have policy of "One person = One Voice." This means that if someone creates multiple game accounts, they are expected to restrict their forum participation to a single forum account. Any additional forum accounts associated with the main account will be closed, that is, their forum privileges will be terminated. Play for Free accounts do not have forum posting privileges, but if someone logs in to the forums using that P4F account -- and P4F accounts are allowed to log in, so they can bookmark posts -- that activity will be reflected on that forum member's main account. We are not able to identify what kind of account has logged in, but the use of an additional account would result in closure of the secondary forum account. I hope that information is helpful, but do let me know if you were asking about something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just puzzled when the text talked about the number/severity of infractions when I could not have posted there before. I was not going to it to post, just to make sure I did not get the message that ftp players can not post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of marketing is done through word-of-mouth. If you approach "local bakery chain" and mention how there's this other company which has great artwork and expressive themes which could go well with cupcakes or pastries, you never know what might happen. If things click, then you've not only helped yourself, but two other companies _and_ the gw community in your neighbourhood. That's like a quadruple win ;) . To be clear, I'm not suggesting you act as though you're a representative of Anet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz.1857 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Please can you provide this outfit to non-US customers in some capacity?

Actually, that's a very helpful suggestion, and we would welcome the input from our community! We look at partnership opportunities with an eye to reaching our players around the globe in a number of ways. Depending on the partner and a few other factors, we may run promotions broadly or in a specific territory, country, or small set of countries. We’re lucky that we’ve gotten to work with a number of great partners and we always are looking for more with whom we can work. With that in mind, if you have suggestions for partnerships, we’d love to hear them. Is there a local brand that you recommend? A major company that we should consider? It would be very helpful to get those suggestions, so please do feel free to share them as you think of them. Thanks for sharing those thoughts.

Please see the [Kung Fu Tea blog](https://www.kungfutea.com/blog/ "Kung Fu Tea blog") for more information. So I'm glad as a Canadian who participated in the promotion that Anet advertised am getting nothing out of it. I downloaded the app, gave them my information for my social media, kept the app installed from the start in hopes for it to resume and in the end, i get nothing, not even a lousy Dragon Outfit (which is all I wanted tbh). Honestly, this experienced has left a very bitter taste in my mouth on how Anet addressed the situation with their loyal costumers, hopefully Anet will do something for those non US players who all installed the app for the promo that you guys advertised, if not, shame on you.
