Edit time:

Hey all N/A players...Above link is a competition your able to have a go at

Rest of the world:

No dice....

Seriously NcSoft can you stop doing N/A only comps. I know there's limits to what you can and cannot do that's kinda out of your powers, but the fact that most if not every big competition i've seen it's been n/a only (including Canada).

Surely if your gonna do a competition you can include the rest of the world still through other possible means..especially now as we've gone F2P and attracting new..curious blood (blood=players..yer ).

I'm not the only one either moaning about this, there has been plenty of people on facebook and on other sites that raise this issue..in this situation, for this competition (MMORPG.com) has said on their facebook status: " Sorry <insert name>, but we have to do as the companies co-hosting request mate"

and sadly this does come back to the age old topic of N/a v EU/rest of the world
I wouldn't mind as much if the competitions were different only if the rest of us was included.

yours
An EU player who would like a chance to enter a competition for once.

To let non NAers enter would mean looking up every country and regions specific contest rules then following them to the letter. It is far easier to just restrict to easy to comply to rules i.e. NA only.

Sorry you get left out.

EDIT: just checked out the contest itself. Grand Prize= FLOWN to Paragon Studios HQ. Of course they're not going to do international flights that's just absurd.

Technically, can Bald players enter? If you can't have a haircut, then you can't claim the prize.

Also (while I am complaining) I want the 5 minutes of my life back for having to google flowbee

For what it's worth, Posi just tweeted.

haha Possi tweeted xD

This wasn't meant to poke at any specific person, But as a whole; im sure if the time is taken to look thru the rules of (even the main countries, to start of with) there can be some comps that be held for everyone..Ofc i don't expect all to flow freely thru-out the world..i mean we dont even have world peace yet. (buut thats awhole another level of insane stuff) hehe.

As we do have people coming in and people staying (still) it does help to let people feel like their apart of the game outside as well as inside.
Im sure (in time) there could be say a meeting set up where the right kind of people (devs, lawyers, marketers, dinner ladies whoever lol) can sit and talk about what exactly X country can do and what X country cannot do, so ideas for comps can be "well this type of comp can easily be done for n/a /france/ germany/ norway/uk but this clearly is n/a only due to X reason."

or even...make the reasons known why you can only have comps in n/a for those who ask.. like you said posi (mention you purely cos u've just tweeted ) you dont have control and i bet dont really know the fine details, but maybe thats where a lawyer could just say basics like..this comp involves some sort of money purchase and due to x law its new york only etc

I want to enter, but I can't get my pic to post. :/

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I totally plan to participate in this contest

The contest and rules itself are all determined by the fine folks at MMORPG.com. In this particular case we have no control over what countries they make this contest eligible for.

We will, when possible, endeavour to make contests we host open to as many members of Community as we can.
