Only 4 eu countries can participate with the EU Gong Cha event, why SE???

[setti1994]

We have a Gong cha store in brussels/Belgium, but they told me they where not chosen by SQEX to participate in the event...

I looked on their website and they are mainly on the east cost and in Texas in the US they have like stores in 14 out of 50 states in the US nothing on the west coast or midwest at all.

I was going to go get some, and then I realized that I would be essentially paying the same amount as a mogstation mount, except this one is a pig with a crown and came to my senses. I'll just save that $20 for the Cloud bike when it goes on sale thanks.

Local store ran out of keychains already. Because of course they did.

Still had some mount codes, though. (Which also reminds me that I never entered the code from Encyclopedia Eorzea 3....)

[Asari5]

so... are there really people who get a code through buying thst stuff and start the game because of that?
or is it just like fancy puplicity and square just get money for it?

[bravefan1983]

Well I'm not quite sure where you see that. Gong Cha's website clearly shows all of there locations to be on the WEST coast....maybe you meant that?

[bravefan1983]

Their website shows stores only on the west coast...check again!

I never even heard of this Gong Cha here in Germany. I did not know this exists.

Edit: i researched it. There is no such Store in Germany.

There's quite a few here in the UK, but none are anywhere near me. The quickest and "cheapest" option for me to get a code would be spending £35 on a train, a 3 hour round trip, plus the £16 to buy the three drinks needed. I don't understand how SE can be this consistently incompetent and short-sighted with this kinds of promotions.

There are 3 gong cha USA sites, and they all have different coverage for stores and states
gongchausa.com
gong-cha-usa.com
gongchausaofficial.com

I have no idea what is and isn't being covered and who is and isn't a part of this promotion, SE customer service has been pretty unhelpful as well in figuring out who is and isn't a part of this.
