Hairstyle contest, we getting the runner ups?

[Niqote]

Oh, it did. The voting system screwed it up and we got the flower style.

Hopefully they learn from it and use a simple Poll next time ^^

I also voted for the ponytail with braid and would loooove to see it ingame~!

[FallenArisen0990]

I want either this:



Or give me this SE:



I need my Side Ponytail ;-;!

I voted for that too, I would love to have it in game, I dont really use the one that we got D:

[ohmRICE]

I will forever pray for this hairstyle in game ;-; but it wasn't even a runner up so my prayers will go unanswered

[D-Gold]

I would love that braided ponytail if it doesn't clip with some of my favorite outfits badly like the Chivalric Doublet of Healing.
A nice french braid would be nice too.

I really want that last one for my character.

Aw... I would have loved to have had that one too. Since it's EXACTLY the kind of hairstyle I wanted for my character upon starting the game but have never been able to find anything close to! If that one was made available I would change to it in an instant.

Also, I'm rather surprised that apparently not many people seem to care about the idea of getting more hairstyles. Since with how many threads are dedicated to people showing off their characters you would get the impression that people actually cared about looks!

I was so bitter when this didn't win, lol. It had the most votes overall, but lost due to the vote counting method and the side pony being on the last page.

Hopefully we get it someday!

The worst part about all this is that they screwed up voting. After the voting had been open for some time only then did they tell us you only get to vote for 1 style (by using the Like button) and only your first vote counted.

No it wasn't.

"Vote results were tallied based off the last entry for which users pressed the “Like!” button." It was also in bright red.

"* Due to the way the forum works, the number of "Likes!" will increase each time they are selected; however, only the final "Like!" from each user will be counted, and there may be instances where the numbers shown on the forum are different than the actual results. "

^ Yeah but they did not add that until long after it started, and people who voted never went back and knew that only their last vote counts. Also are we forgetting how many people don't read? >.<;

I saw lots of people who came back for the results saying "WTF...only my last one counted!? I voted for more then one!!!!" -____-

You mean the disclaimers that were added almost two days after the contest began?

Idky the team would give runners up. It was the deal. The winners won their immortality with the hair cut designs and the runner ups got unique barding mounts. Sorry that you hairstyle you liked didn't make it, but thems the rules. Better luck next contest!

In the very first link you supplied SE implies that even styles that didn't win the grand prize may very well still be added at a later date if they were popular enough.
