    • NVIDIA GeForce® graphics card
    • Crucial Ballistix™ memory
    • Killer™ NIC M1
    • NEC Accusync 24" LCD Display
    • Razer Lycosa™ gaming keyboard
    • Razer DeathAdder™ gaming mouse
    • GameRigs "Anarchy Online" BattleMat™
    • Lifetime account of Anarchy Online with all expansions
    • Jobe Deluxe Apartment
    • Leet Pet

     

    That website has so many "red flags" that there's no way they would be getting my information for the contest, despite Funcom being involved in the contest. From the information provided you get some AO items & a "gaming system". Ok. That sounds, decent.... until you see what that contains. A case, monitor, NIC, keyboard, mouse, mousepad, Unknown spec CPU, unknown spec GPU, unknown spec RAM, no hard drive info, no optical drive info, no motherboard info, no audio card info, no PSU info.  If you wanted to actually BUY something from them, you can't get prices on anything but 3 overpriced systems, despite the other items they supposedly "sell" & there is no clear way to even buy those.

    My favorite quote involving that company has to be from the following thread:

    Adacta: "mine is better anyway :P"

    Better than what? We have no idea what the grand prize system actually contains. lol

     

    I don't know what you're on about but i have many friends that have bought systems from them with no problems what so ever.

    
     

    If you can show me a link on the game-rigs.com website where I can actually get prices on each of the items they sell so I can buy something from them, I will be happy to rescind my previous comments. I wanted to price out a computer & buy a mousepad from them when I first went to their website, but since it could not be found, I became very skeptical.

    P.S.: Pricing/purchasing via email does not count for a legitimate online storefront since about 1999.

    Of course. Funcom is infamous for patching AO within a day of updating (even their last update had a patch within 24 hours), no matter how long the update was on the test server beforehand.  Granted, this occurs with many MMOs by many companies, but the odds are higher in AO, so it's fair to assume that their legacy will continue.

     

    Personally, I take very little of what Tharaldsen says as fact. We got the same sidestepping when he was working with AO. Since "Sil" took over with being on the frontline between the AO community & Funcom we get a lot more straight forward answers.
