Announcing the "VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway"! (NA)

[Apie]

My husband was completely screwed out of this contest, so unfair. He has been playing this game since the USA release and since we linked our POL accounts into 1 SE account so we can use just 1 security token, he decided to be a gentleman and step aside to let me enter so I can potentially get a moogle outfit. So wrong, he wants a fair shot like everyone else but cant because we decided to share a security token...

Square, that is INCREDIBLY unfair and you should seriously look into having rules that don't alienate paying members. Together we pay $54 a month to play this game, over $600 a year and this is the thanks we get...

It's possible to unlink an account.

SquareEnix is actually against shared accounts.

I wouldn't risk it. That's how I lost my JP account. I un-linked it per the instructions from the rep at SE, so that I could link it to my NA account and not have to use webmoney any more.

The account did not un-link correctly and No one at SE will fix it. When it comes to FFXI, I would never make a change to your account unless you have to. Terrible is not a strong enough word when it comes to support at this company.

Any word on when the NA/EU community will hear about their winners?

Thank you for your patience while waiting for the GGG results.
We just wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that our Goblins are in crunch time, working 24/7 and coordinating with the Mog House Management Union to make sure your prizes arrive safely. I keep /poking them for an exact date but they only grumble about their plans to send within July.
Sorry we can't squeeze more out of them but we will be sure to let you know once the Goblins have finished all their their deliveries!

Tried offering them a reward if they gave us a date for ours? Goblins are known to like chocolate and shinnies if I do recall. Then again probably got them mixed up with the other species in game being my luck XD

Better to let them finish in their own time. I'd much rather that they finished it properly, than finished it quickly!

As mentioned, they're against account sharing (a violation of the User Agreement actually), so it's not really surprising it's like that.

Even so, I would hope for future events that they would restrict it to 'PlayOnline' accounts rather than SqEX accounts, because many players have more than one POL account linked into one SqEX account for convenience. For what reason are punished for it like this? They pay the full price and all... except for a plausible additional Security Token purchase. That must be it! >.>;

Account credentials are not to be shared, but this does hurt something that is legitimate just as well (as oh so many rules do, sadly).

In layman's terms: It sucks.

Nevertheless, I do appreciate the event, I'm not saying that it's all bad!
So thank you for making it possible in the first place ! !! !

Could of course be better in the future. ~wink~

I did notice someone in an Ark Angel costume the other day, so it's likely that they're indeed already at it (for the Japanese, probably).

Didn't check them, but I can't remember any other item giving such a costume so I'd guess that is as they say, that.

Thank you very much for the reply, as you can tell we're all quite excited.

That's what I thought, but it ended up being from the JP Bonanza, in which case, they already distributed the prizes.

Nope, actually it's not possible. Tried it. I'm in the same situation as Apie. The only exception is with accounts linked to the wrong region, and as FrankReynolds said, they couldn't even do that correctly.

Best you can do Apie is to complain about it to SE reps and hope that enough others are doing so that they'll change the policy. Edit: Oh, and by that I don't mean to submit the complaint via the forums, but through the support center.
