About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Alleo]

Personaly the thing that I dislike the most is the silent treatment. When will the other EU regions get their events? This year? Next year? Never?

I think the last post mentioned something about months? X_X Which would be horrible since that could mean that we will only get one event at a time and will never really know which one is better so we might need to choose the worse campaign.
So yeah it would be nice if they would post at least some kind of infos about the next events. :/ I have a bad feeling that these campaigns will still be a hot topic next year around the same time..I hope I am wrong.

Well to be honest if they doing it the same way here in germany as they did in uk i am not going to bother with it at all.

You have been playing the same game as the rest of us? Since the launch of 2.0 anything that is bad is silent treatment anything that is fluff look how awesome we are at communicating with our fan base.

Well Not sure if this was already said but I've believe that they wanted the picture because with the amazon thing, you could of just order something wait like 20 min then cancel that order without actually paying anything for the codes, everyone in brynhilder was doing that.

I'm not sure about that statement, because they cancelled their purchase didn't they?

The vast majority didn't. Amazon expects to get some orders that are cancelled along with a bunch of other orders that aren't cancelled. The ones that get cancelled are pretty much irrelevant to them. They only care about the orders that go through. Most people going there for this promotion will have found something they wanted and bought it. I, for example, picked up a copy of the latest Star Ocean game. (Fun game, by the way. I'd recommend it.) So Amazon got about $60 from me that they wouldn't have gotten if this promotion hadn't convinced me to go to their site and browse their video games. When the sales boost from a bunch of orders like that are compared to the "cost" of sending out an extra couple emails to a customer who cancelled instead, which do you think they'll care about?

Now, I don't actually know how successful this promotion was for Amazon since I don't have access to any of their sales figures. But when they're assessing how successful it was, it's going to be based on whether the revenue boost they got on completed orders is greater or less than the amount they had predicted it would be and the amount they paid SE for it. Though they might also track how many orders were cancelled, that number isn't nearly as relevant to them.

Except with what happened in 3.1, there was a satisfying bit of humble pie in that live letter.

I actually managed to find a magazine near my work, I was really surprised; my brother wandered across town asking and no one had even heard of Gamesmaster. My dad said he hadn't seen the magazine since some time in the 1990s when I was born, lmao... At least I know where to go to get the last 2 codes anyway.

Magazine 307 out tomorrow. (11th August)

Let the games begin.
