Again, europe is not allowed in the contest :/ Why is this? Is there a mmorpg.com european counter-part? |

Speaking of laws... In the legalese on the contest page, it refers to NCSoft and MMORPG.com in the top, then switches to Monte Cristo Games and MMORPG.com in the fine print. I don't think Monte Cristo Games has anything to do with Aion? |

Sorry guys, shipping items from the US that are worth $50 just makes no sense. It costs $20-$35 to ship the item then when you get it 9 times out of 10 your country will require *you* to pay tariffs for receiving the commercial item. It just does not work. I am sorry but we don't have an EU division, we are a very small company based solely in the US. We try to make all contests we can open to all countries but some just don't work that way - especially when the sponsor says no. - MMORPG.COM Staff - |

Yes NCsoft does have an office in Brighton, England. It used to be there European headquarters but has been scaled down to nothing more than handling publicity and advertising for the European market. But in saying that i can't see a European version of this competition ever seeing the light of day so....MEH
Don't know if you can run it? |

Yeah, whats your point here, i said nothing in my original post about MMORPG.COM. My beef is with NCsoft...the sponsor....and their continual neglect of European gamers, seriously they wont even bother trying to sort out a European version of this comp. Don't know if you can run it? |

if I win I'll try this game. I wouldn't paid for a game, that's clearly only free to play quality. When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there! |

Well my point is, if MMORPG.com is hosting a contest, why would ncsoft step in, they already have a contest going on for preorder players for a laptop and some other stuff, so if you preordered you are already taking part in that contest, i doubt ncsoft is going to go out of their way and intervene in private contests just because they arent 100% fair to all regions.

I can feel your anger guys... Most of the usual contest open in the US and Canada bear the mention : (except Quebec resident).. which is a real pain... Thankfully, this one is ok.. |

Like DeserttFoxx said Its NOT an NCsoft contest! Its a MMORPG.com contest. So... Like the Admin of the MMORPG.com forum said above... "Sorry guys, shipping items from the US that are worth $50 just makes no sense. It costs $20-$35 to ship the item then when you get it 9 times out of 10 your country will require *you* to pay tariffs for receiving the commercial item. It just does not work. I am sorry but we don't have an EU division, we are a very small company based solely in the US." That means NCsoft has nothing to do with this contest. |

nice again europe is f... up, the reason that is cost's to much to ship it in europe is a lame excuse , if u can't offer the same treatment for all your ppl who joined this community stop making contests were u can win material stuff, you could have opened the box and put the cd-key as a prize , you wouldn't be the first or the last who does that . Anyway congratz to whoever wins |

Simple solution ... have the digital download from steam as prize ... not a box. |
