So it has been 4 weeks...

Where the hell is our prizes for the FC video contest? You said within 2 weeks, but we are still waiting patiently as you keep coming out with new contest.

"Prizes will be awarded within two weeks after winners are announced. "

I know right? The item itself isn't going to push my game further but my FC is looking forward to taking a snapshot together. :/

My FC has been nagging me non-stop about it. I am getting a little tired telling them that it is coming.

Try telling your company to have a little patience. I mean, unless they are itching to change companies waiting a little longer shouldn't be a problem.

Crybabies - it's just a item, im sure you can just have more patience - not like you will die or anything..

Please look forward to it!

Over a year ago the FC I was in won a video contest and it took months for the prize to be awarded, so dont hold your breath!

yeah, ty for letting me know the cold hard truth if this may be the same case.

Well time is relative :D It also isn't constant. Maybe they are stuck in a singularity and it's only been a few seconds for them. ^.^

So what you're saying is that your parents constantly promised you things and then never lived up to their promise?

I would agree with you if it was a handout, but some players and groups put a lot of work in their videos for these prizes and not seeing it for almost 5 weeks when they said 2 weeks is ridiculous. They can at least keep the community event forum updated if they are having trouble so people don't feel forgotten. A simple, "we are working on it, hang tight!", is all we want.

They have to round up thousands of people to hand these items out to. Takes some time.
That was their reasoning last year when the video contest prizes took a while.

This is what was said Last year:

First off, we would like to say a hearty "THANK YOU!" to all of the Free Company winners that have been extremely patient with us while waiting for their prizes to be delivered!

We are pleased to announce when prize distribution will begin:
Starting Friday, April 18, at 12:00 a.m. (PDT)/3:00 a.m. (EDT)/7:00 (GMT)/16:00 (JST)
Please note the actual delivery time may differ slightly depending on your character's World or Data Center.

There are a few precautions we'd like to make you aware of.
As the prize will be delivered via Mog Letter, the delivery may fail in the following cases:

• Your character has been deleted
• Your character has transferred to another World

If you have the max number of allowed Mog Letters, or maxed out your number of attachments, you can safely receive your prize by deleting older letters from the system.

We'd like to take this opportunity to explain why it has taken so long to distribute the prizes for this contest. In short, we have never sent prizes to winners on this scale before, and we originally dispatched prizes manually using Mog Mail in previous contests.

Unlike before, the winners of this FC Recruitment Contest were in the tens of thousands! So, in addition to extracting all the character information, we also created a system to take the data and dispatch the prizes automatically. However, we had to prioritize fixing system issues and bugs in Patch 2.2, which delayed our initial schedule.

This meant that although we managed to send the prizes for the Little Ladies' Day Screenshot Contest as planned, we couldn't deliver the prizes for the FC Recruitment contest. Once again, we are very sorry for the delay and frustration that this has caused.

Rest assured we learned a valuable lesson from this and will make sure everyone has a much better experience with our forthcoming events!

It's disheartening we are heading the same way as last year's. I understand there are a lot of winners, of course I will be patient. But at the same time it was also said we'd have a better experience with the distribution this time around.

Can we just please get an ETA on when we can expect the prizes to be sent out?

Curious about this as well, I'm assuming winners will see things sometime in September?

Maybe they are long lived like the dragons. 1000s of years is just a few seconds to them. :P

Time to gouge some eyes! (get it? :D)

In all seriousness, ETA please, it has been long enough! :(

Clearly SE operate on Valve time. 2 weeks must mean 2 years to them.

My FC just got our chokers.
Time to check your mogmail!

Confirming my FC got ours as well.

So it seems like my FC got theirs EXCEPT me. I got a name change while waiting but I would imagine that wouldn't do anything seeing as it's supposed to be sent to the entire FC. I will continue to bump this EVERY day until I get my choker.

We got ours too, thank you SE!

Looks like my FC got thiers too but I havent. Which is major bs considering I came up with a majority of the ideas for the video and am "second in command" for my FC.

We had one guy online at the time of my previous post that didn't get his mail.
But we also had many who weren't around at the time, including the FC leader of all people, also not get theirs.

Apparently they're being sent out in waves. Not per FC or anything, so just...hang tight?

I'll just leave this here first:

*Please note that only members that were part of the free company prior to the winners’ announcement will be eligible to receive the prize.

Anyway I can vouch for RavenL, it was just a name change, been around with us forever. Please fix.

So I still haven't received my choker in the mail yet. Everyone else in my FC has.

Still haven't received my item. There's also FIVE separate threads in the Technical Support forum that are about the same exact issue. Tried contacting a GM in game but they told me they don't deal with prizes and for me to contact a "Community Manager". There is actually no actual way to contact this elusive "Community Manager" btw.

I don't find the in-game GM's to be very helpful at all, they give the typical canned responses. Here's hoping a forum mod will answer you.
