About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Rinuko]

Hello

There's been a lot of talk regarding the North American and Japanese promotional campaigns. We are working to setup campaigns in PAL regions with the new in-game items. They will also be available for purchase on the Mog Station at a later date. We will share more information as soon as it becomes available.

Please note that the North American and Japanese item codes won’t work on EU accounts.

Hello

There's been a lot of talk regarding the North American and Japanese promotional campaigns. We are working to setup campaigns in PAL regions with the new in-game items. They will also be available for purchase on the Mog Station at a later date. We will share more information as soon as it becomes available.

Please note that the North American and Japanese item codes won’t work on EU accounts.

The question is, when they go on sale on the mogStation will they be character locked or account based? In all fairness to our EU and other friends who were unable to participate in the US and JP promotions, all the items we received were account based, not character locked. If the ones put in the MogStation are character locked it would be a real finger in the face to EU players.

Seriously, I would like an answer to this question lakukisu, Why are non-consumable items on the mogStation now character rather than account locked? The switch from Account based items to character based ones has prevented a lot of players from purchasing MogStation items because they are simply a terrible deal - especially for players who already pay out more on a monthly basis to have more alt characters.

The maid and Butler outfits and other items from last year's promotion were account based, will they also be account based when the appear in in the Mogstation? They should be, but then again so should all non-consumable items such as outfits, mounts, minions, hairstyles and emotes. Why aren't they?

Well it seems that the German promotion will start at the 19th.

My opinion about this: This is horrible..we need to buy 24 cans of Dr. Pepper soda to get the codes, which will make this more expensive than the NA promotion. Also you have to buy so many soft drinks. It seems that SE really cares about our health >_>..at least in Japan you could buy water bottles. Really disappointed by that and I wont take part in this promotion. Really who creates these campaigns? ._.

I will wait for the mog station items and if they dont come to German, well then thats bad for me. But I wont throw out my money for something that is so unhealthy and useless for me.

I recommend that people actually go for this if it happens. I got my maid/butler from the France amazon promotion. Though I'm not french nor do I live there but I thought it was my only and last hope of getting them, and I was right.

So go for this if you can.

It remains to be seen what, if any, promotions the rest of Europe will get.
I kind of prefer the Dr Pepper promotion to the shady magazine deal we got last time but I'm in no hurry to go and buy 24 cans of a drink I don't care for either.
The promotion, or at least the associated raffle, seems to be running until 15.09. so I'll wait for a bit and see what alternatives crop up.
If France gets an Amazon promotion again I'll probably take advantage of that instead, any European promotion should work for EU Service Accounts, right?

I agree...

I don't even drink DrPepper! Please!

I am not even sure if someone outside of Germany can even take part in this. If I read this right you need to buy the cans that have moogles on them, which means that you probably have to buy them in a supermarket. If this is German only you would need to visit a German supermarket for that.

Also even if some kind of shop sells this near me (I have never seen this) I will not buy it. Simply as a small "protest" and also because its not worth it. At least with the Gamestop deal I got a game that I like. With that I would have to buy 24 (!) cans of soda..which I probably wont even drink. (I cant even use it to water plants or stuff :'D)

I just keep up the hope that everyone will get the chance to buy this from the cash shop.

(I would not have so much problems with this campaign if it was water or at least a variation of different kind of drinks. But I barely drink soda like stuff and I definitely wont drink so much.)

IF.

I don't drink soft-drinks, nor do I live in Germany but I have relatives there who do.

I certainly hope you guys get better deals this time around...

Last time was a real horror show.
