Pretty much... I mean seriously, are we Europeans, for example, second grade citizens compared to NA and Canada? We're always getting shafted in these give-aways.

restricted to NA has been explained a few months ago: this is mainly due to shipping cost.

Even if i would be personnaly ready to take on my own this cost, i dont think euro players can do anything but hopping an Euro mmo website to organise such events :/

 

Good luck to all participants btw, and thank you mmorpg.com :)

Id be up for the give-a-ways from my site if I knew where I could organize them, I think its rather unfair that the EU is left out when it comes to MMORPG.com's Give-a-ways. Shipping of a game can't be too costly i'm sure, show a little love back to your EU fans mmorpg.com .

After all, your site is visited by them a hell of allot. :P

Argh, yet another NA/Canada competition.


So frustrating :( I used to love this site because they didn't have territory restrictions all the time, but that's seriously changed as of late.

There's a forwarding company here which i could send stuff to its docks in NY, and it'll forward it to me (at an excellent price). Problem is, the stupid IP restrictions. It should a "physical" address resitriction. Whatever ...

The game don't have any IP restrictions, but the NCSoft site does, easily to get around if you use a proxy. I got a friend in the states, she couldn't register the EU CB key I sent her, worked fine when I did it for her.

I guess I should point out too the fact that the drawing is happening in October... not useful at all for people who want to start on day one.

Fileplanet charges for its keys, you need to be a subscriber. Easier to just preorder the game from somewhere you can cancel your order than subscribe to a site that literally sells beta access.

I wonder why not just let the shipping charges to be paid by the winner in the case of a non-NA winner.

This is why I have never regretted having an active sub with fileplanet. In fact I pay for the annual sub and I have gotten into tons of betas. I also have a annual sub to tentonhammer.com and gotten into tons of betas through them also.

Indeed, I was wondering the same thing.
