WoW giveaways part deux: the revenge
So a few of you may have heard about this obscure little game. We hear it's all the rage in Tajikistan and all but surely you understand, we have bigger fish to fry here at Massively. Therefore, we're giving away a 60-day game time card to you kind folks in the hopes that one of you might just pick it up and play it for a bit and tell us what it's all about -- think of it as field reporting. In order to win, you must have existed in this universe for no less than 18 years, and reside currently in these here United States (official legalese here). So you say you want this World of Warcraft game card, do you? Leave a comment in this thread by 11am EST tomorrow, Sunday November 4, and we will choose one lucky winner at random to spend 60 free days in this strange little world... of Warcraft. Good luck!
Like loot? Massively wanna give ya some.
As you may have heard, there's some new kid on the block covering MMOs (no, not that one!). Luckily, that kid brought along some bribes in a cheap and transparent attempt to win your love and affection, and all of today's giveaways are WoW-themed. We know some of you principled individuals have a firm stance against Free Stuff, and we respect that. For the rest of you, check in on Massively today to win some 60-day game cards, and even a special prize. We could tell you what it is, but we'd have to kill you -- because it's top secret. We can't even give you a hint, so don't ask us!
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 18
Well, it's 1:00 AM here on the East Coast in the US and you know what that means! No, it's not time to go to sleep, silly -- it's time for the next in our 24 hours of Tabula Rasa giveaways! This hour we're giving away a spiffy Tabula Rasa hat, and a nifty poster given to us by the powers-that-be at NCsoft. As with all the other contests, this one is nice and easy to get into. No messy screencaps, no "here's what I did on my TR vacation" or any of that. That's right! For the price of one measly comment, you can win a stylin' TR hat or a killer poster and be the envy of your gaming friends. You just can't beat free swag!Oh, and hey, just in case you're joining the party late, don't forget that you can still comment on the first giveaway to enter for a chance to win an iPod. That way you've got your tunes with you when you're out blowing things into the next life in TR. Sweet deal, no?
24 hours of Tabula Rasa: Hour 16
I can barely remember my short time in the Tabula Rasa beta, but I do remember something about aliens giving you super powers, and being a little unhappy about the fact that even though I had a gun and I was shooting at aliens, I wasn't able to headshot them.Anyway, it's now 11pm, and time for another one of our TR launch contests. This hour, we've got a hat and two posters to give away, so to enter, just be 18 and in the US (official rules) and put a comment on this post telling us the feature of Tabula Rasa you're most looking forward to. Aliens giving you super powers might be in there, although no headshots probably won't be. Of course, your answer doesn't actually matter (this is a random contest, and we'll randomly choose three winners from all the comments), but if you want to pretend like it does, we won't be bothered. Go hog wild.This contest shuts off at midnight, so hurry up and get those comments down. And if you miss the deadline, you've got even more chances to play-- our next contest starts when November 3rd, 2007 does (that's in about an hour, in case you don't have a clock handy).And by the way, did we mention that our iPod contest is actually accepting comments for the whole 24 hours of these mini contests? We didn't? Oh. Well there you go.
