About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Lambadelta]

Was it really that hard setting up an online system that we could input the codes into and then the mount would come from that? Surely entering the codes onto our accounts is proof enough that we have possession of them...

to encourage people not to steal the codes with a photo from the magazine

It's nice a rep responded but why did you choose to do it this way to begin with? it's still incredibly inconvenient.

Not supporting this promotion AT ALL, but I'm pretty sure that they did this promo because this magazine sends to over 100 countries, so it covers "most" of the countries which play on EU accounts.

I don't even want to know how much some people would have to pay for shipping... + 8.99€ for each magazine. If they had made it so that the chocobo is given to you if you buy ANY of the 3 issues, that would have been acceptable, most probably want the clothes + mount anyhow...

Okay ! So i will be the first to say i caved !... Bought the magazine in a store was rather cheap, had cute stickers in. Was all going great, put my codes in and low and behold they fucked up already ! I put in my code for the 50 aetheryte tickets and instead my code was for 30 Jandelaine's tokens which is next months rewards....

Actually not, July is Jandelaine, Aetheryte comes next month.

Oh, on the actual leaflet in the magazine it has "Enter this code for 50 Aetheryte tickets" haha

WOW okay, that is a different matter then and a mistake on the magazines side. Still, WOW. What a great start... > _ >

Wow so first we get informed that people cant even subscribe to two of the three issues and have to buy each solo with the hope that they will not be sold out, at the same day that the campaign was announced which shows really good planning but the magazine itself makes such a mistake on the first issue. xD Well good luck to all of those who will send their picture for the mount. Lets hope that they wont mess that up too..

Still kinda shocked why they took that route as a promotion. Fans angry, the magazine is not sold in big numbers so you wont probably reach a lot of new customers with that promotion so no real win win situation (imo). And to make it even better still no real post from SE. (Cluetrain Manifesto rule number 1: Markets are conversations.)

They even get it wrong in the article... ff doesn't even really get spoke about in it either, it takes up 1 page and it's more photos than writing (which is less than half a page). The majority of article is about the giveaway which they got wrong and act as if them "giving away" a 14 day trial is a big deal when you get that anywhere. This magazine is an actual joke, a really bad one at that.

The Online Shop has now sold out of copies:

Sorry, this item is out of stock. Available from all good retailers

And SE is still going to think there is no demand for this kind of thing in the future in the UK even though the magazine runs out of its SMALL print run

God damn it, I was still considering buying these and they're out of stock...

This is a joke.
