10th Vana'versary Mog Bonanza

/sigh

Please elaborate on exactly which global laws are applying in this case. Laws are meant to be known so I see no reason not to name them.

Giving legislative advice to S-E's customers is likely not a part of the terms of the relationship between S-E and their legal representation; doing so may not even be legal, let alone ethical. S-E is in the gaming business, not the lobbying business.

This way we can contact our representative to have such laws repealed.

You're assuming that it's your local laws that are the problem and not someone else's. The problematic laws in question probably aren't even written in English.

No such law should interfere with a private company's internal policies.

This is your personal opinion. Your problem is that someone, somewhere, does not share your opinion.

I could see laws applying in this case if it was acutal monetary rewards

It costs actual money to play. This is business. Every country outside of Somalia regulates business.

The game was designed by YOU(SE) and you should have total control over the virtual world's global laws. Laws from the real world that interfere on the virtual are overstepping their bounds and should not be supported.

This is your personal opinion. Your problem is that someone, somewhere, does not share your opinion.

Please post exactly which laws so we can contact our representatives to make it known that we do not support such laws and think that they should be repealed.

S-E is not your lawyer. You're not paying S-E anywhere near enough to be your lawyer.

see this is where ur wrong, for example lets say some joeblow on a server wins rank 1 and choose the gil, whats stopping him from selling the gil for monetary gain memo<<<.i personally think its a great idea to stop all the bs thats been goin around with all the bonaza's.

we will not be able to hold a Mog Bonanza for NA and EU regions moving forward...

...we will be holding a separate event where players will be able to win similar prizes (all the goodies from tier 1, tier 2, and tier3…plus a bunch of other rare in-game items), so rest assured we will be giving you a good opportunity to make all your Vana’diel dreams come true!

Also, even though the Mog Bonanza will be gone, we will be offering a different event for our end of the year celebration for a chance to win the items of your dreams!...

After my original complaint about disenfranchisement, this thought occurred to me, that "regional laws may be creating an issue." And, after that thought, I mused "Surely S/E can find another way to include the general population."

So, thanks for proving my cynicism wrong and my optimism right.

but unfortunately due to changing times and differing global laws, we will not be able to hold a Mog Bonanza for NA and EU regions moving forward.

explain please?

10th Anniversary Special Items!
For the 10th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY XI we are preparing some pretty cool items that I think you would all be interested in

How would you all like to wield the same weapons as the Archangels?





These weapons are being prepared specially as cosmetic items. The one-hand sword is not a set, but there will be no “Rare” tag so it will be possible to get two and dual wield

We are planning to use 1 or 2 of these for our 10th Anniversary Mog Bonanza. Hope you are all looking forward to trying them out.

P.S.: Divine Might was probably one of my favorite battles (music-wise too).

I has a confused. I also activated some mules for the upcoming Mog Bonanza you directly announced. So, did I just get fleeced? Or is the nomad moogle version somehow different?

Nevermind.

After this happening to me a few years ago, All I can say is good riddance.

inb4 the NA/EU event is on the test server making it 1 character per SEID not PoL ID and no console players can participate

Holy crap. That is messed up.

Hmmm, I actually didn't even think about why any law would really come in the way of an in-game contest/event. I must have become so used to it of late, as it has been the given reason to quite several region related stuff not being possible.

Perhaps I just stopped caring, perhaps I was sleepy. Either way, while not saying it's a lie, it does puzzle my mind. Were the prizes real-life items, then it would make lots more sense but for in-game things?

Makes me wonder if those game-tables at certain spots in Vana'diel are legal or not...
