I hope to learn that as well because I am not sure my account will be active on the 23rd. It ends the 20th and I hope to keep it going, but I can't be sure that I will be able to. :'(

I'm glad that this is based on account creation date and not "ongoing subscription length."

Good news for the few of us who have older accounts that have been inactive for a bit here and there.

It is sad to realize that even being a fan of WoW and customer, I'm not eligible to participate in any sweepstakes because I do not live in USA, Canada or New Zealand.
I find it odd that in a globalized world, where I can be charged for playing a game that is so extraordinary (even to the point of being addictive) no matter where I live, I cannot be a participant of a celebration like this because of country borders.

I hope that one day, players from Europe, Australia, Latin America (Brazil included), etc are allowed to have the same kind of treatment that you guys receive.

Alas, I send my best regards and a happy anniversary for everyone who works and plays this amazing game.

WHY BLIZZARD?! WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH? D:

Note: Take this message with a grain of salt ;)
Note2:Everything blizzard does is amazing, but every. single. contest. or fun stuff they do... ALWAYS. ALWAYS Exclude me?

Q u o t e:


The way the sweepstakes is setup is we pick based off of when the accounts were created and which of those had an active subscription on October 26, 2009. Activating after this date will not make an account eligible but if the account already had the subscription, even if you weren’t playing it, then it would be eligible.

---

Can you please talk with the people running this about moving the first eligibility date (Nov. 23, 2004) up a few days?

Like many people, I bought the game on the day of release but was unable to actually create an account until Nov 24 because of server issues.

Doh, USA, Canada and New Zealand only, too bad I am an Aussie, no chance of winning anything

My CE was 1 week late on delivery. And so I created my account Dec 2. :/

Ok, weird question, what if we a) qualify, and b) win, and c) don't want what we win?

My computer is brand new. My video card is great. And I'm not a huge collector of the items offered.

About the only things that I'd like are the free year of WoW, and a few things not offered by Blizz in this. I don't qualify for the free year of WoW, though.

Aussies miss out again.

We get shafted on most things. Worst being games refused classifications.

Not that it really matters. Like any other lottery, the only ticket that substantially increases your odds of winning is the first one you buy. In that case your odds go up from 0 to something. Every ticket thereafter provides such a marginal additional chance of winning that it is nearly irrelevant.

Not saying this to criticize the giveaway. That's cool. Just trying to reduce stress by pointing out that your first account is the only one that really matters with respect to your chances of winning. That said, lotteries in general are a tax on people who can't do math. This isn't a lottery in the traditional sense, because you didn't buy your account with this giveaway in mind. Just relax, have fun playing, and good luck winning real life lewts.

Incidentally, B, you may want to categorize the prizes by in game loot rarity: steins = blue, graphics cards = purpz, laptop = legendary. I.e., when writing the prize, put brackets around it and change the font color to the one appropriate to the lewt rarity. Just a thought. :)

To my knowledge of how it's running, the specified dates here shouldn't be an issue.

I'm confused, the last prizes state:

So if we created our account on the 24th then we wouldn't be eligible?

I just recently switched from the online subscription plan to a wow game card, and there was a week or so gap between the two. I think Oct. 26 might have been in there, I don't know, but if I was in the midst of changing payment plans does this mean that I wouldn't be qualified in the drawing?

I've only had my own account since WotLK came out, but it'd still really stink to not have my tiny chance to win just because of something like switching payment plans :(

Lame. I don't think I was able to create my account until the 28th or 29th because I preordered the collector's edition and it took that long to be delivered.

Edit: Much like this person above me. :(

For the Gunnar Optics glasses,
Will there be an option to have the lenses made perscription for those of us that wear glasses or will they be the off-the-shelf version?

That's kind of disheartening. I'm in the same situation, been playing since Nov 22nd 2004, but since I transferred my toons to another account I owned and stopped the original a few months ago, I'm out. If I had known contests worked off account age I would have never have moved them

I am also sad, I bought my game at a midnight release, but it wouldn't let me make my account right away, I figured because so many people were signing up. Now I miss the big prize by a few hours due to that :( (account date says nov 24th).

Double whammy because on that midnight release they accidently gave away my collectors edition before I got up in my place in line... oh this date brings back sadness again.
