Or it could have just been done you pick if you win, and not otherwise.

I'm having a completely different issue, It won't even let me log in. I clicked the link to bring me to the event page. Then I click the link to enter and I am brought to the page where I need to log in. I entered my ID and password correctly (i've tried 15+ times) and clicked Log In Button and nothing happens. It's like the button doesn't work at all. I made sure I clicked on the NA version because I'm in USA. I even went to the main ffxi site and logged into my SE account to make sure I had the right ID and password and was able to log in with no problem. What's the issue now?

Is there going to be be a similar gobbiebag giveaway in the New Zealand/Australia Region?

Ok, after almost 2 hours I just figured it out after posting that. In case anyone else has this problem, here's the solution. Apparently, only the login page for that contest is not compatible with the newest version on IE. If your using IE, when you reach the login page you need to click on the image that looks like a broken page up in the address bar. When you mouse over it, it should say compatibility view ( and something about clicking it to make older??? webpages display correctly.) Once I clicked that, the page reloaded and login in worked. It was a pain to figure out, so hopefully this will help others with the same issue.

They only have JP, NA, or EU licensed copies of the game. You'll have to register with the region that your account is affiliated with.

Joining the "No confirmation e-mail received" bandwagon. Hope this doesn't destroy my incredibly slim chance of getting a Moogle suit, I was looking forward to terrorizing the denizens of Vana'diel. :p

There's very likely some delay on the confirmation-mails.

Don't fret yet!

They could have setup the choices as more of a survey to give them an idea of what players in the game want also. (Just a guess)

No confirmation e-mail either. And, it's been a day.
