Unfortunately, we had to make the contest 21 and older ( :( ) and you have to live in the United States. Do you still fit into this description?

Only Americans?! That's racist! I am very disappointed in you UBI. Going to protest in front of your offices now!

Yep, I am 25, and I live in South Carolina.

I also can't enter because you only seem to have a way to enter via facebook or twitter!

I do not use facebook and I refuse to use it ever as to twitter well what can I say I have no urge to be a twit.

You have fourms and Ubi has its own website not like you can't make it so we can enter via one of these other places.

rats a game on the internet that brings people from all over yet the contest is only open to one nationaliy - maybe have a two level contest extra gems to those who are not able to recieve the fine beer stien .

I agree with Morgan... I have no desire or plans to use Facebook or Twitter. However, if those are the conditions for the sweepstakes, then I'm okay with that as it is my choice then to not participate (by avoiding both sites). However, it would be nice to have the sweepstakes run through the game itself vs. a "third party site".

zultani. trust me... sweepstakes, lotteries, etc that are "international" are a huge legal pain in the rear... so I'm sure that decision is a "legal" one! But I do agree that in game promotions should be set up so that all players are equally eligible. Or, as you indicated, have a giveaway that does not involve physical prizes (i.e. only prizes that are "in game"). I would be frustrated as well if there was an advertised sweepstakes for only residents outside the United States.

I like the promotion, but I won't be participating for the same reasons as a few others. Good luck to the rest of you.

Ya why US only, canada not good enough anymore

As Archmage eluded, a lot of the specific changes were due to legal. This event was originally not supposed to be 21+ and it was supposed to encompass other territories. However, legal wins out in a big company. In the future, we will try to make sure that we can allow everyone to particpate. I am sorry if you were left out, but hopefully our next big event will be able to include everyone.

Thanks in advanced for your understanding!

Also, be sure to check out some of our other cool Oktoberfest events on the forums!

I, too, would like to enter, but refuse to be associated with either FaceBook or Twitter.
Wouldn't for my girlfriend, my best friend or my Mom!... :mad: (Actual fact!)
Shame, too, 'cause I'd been lookin' forward to those 10,000 gems... :rolleyes:

yes i too would like to participate in this also, but like others refuse to till my death be a facebook or twitter user. Good luck to all others and have fun in game...

Unfortunately you picked Facebook and Twitter as the only way to enter.

totally agree with what was said above.. im not a twit and dont want to use facebook either.. would like a chance to win gems.. seems kinda strange that the people playing the game cant get a chance via the game... and although the mug is nice.. i agree that just gems or in game items would be totally great.

Its a shame that most can not enter, I think this one should be temporarily put on hold until all legal solutions have been examined. All three of my sons are attorneys,
and they are all in a agreement, (For once ) that this may open a can of worms that can't be easily closed. Not to mention the fact that excluding so many of the people whom the contest was meant for to begin with, just doesn't make sense.

Hey Buck,

Unfortunately, our legal team has made these rules. However, we will be having promotions with various media sites that will allow you to win a Mug.

For example, RTSGuru is having one right now!

My old frat mug has been doing fairly well for the last 30 odd years. I think I'll pass, but thanks for the offer !!!

When will the winners be announced?

American isn't a Race its probably a shipping issue grow up

LOL just read through the whole thing you guys make social networking seem like the most evil invention ever devised

Any info on who the lucky winners are? Or an ETA for such an announcement?

I won! Very cool!!!!! Got an email from Kate saying I won and asking where to send the Mug!!! I can't wait to get those Gems and drink a nice cold one out of my new mug!!

I did personally email the users and am waiting to recieve emails back. Unfortunately, I can't ship out the mugs until I get all of the addresses. I can't currently post a list of winners as I don't want to use players full real life names on the forums. That information is private. If I do get a list of player usernames I will post those!

Congratulations to all the winners! :)

Aye, grats to all who won! Ya bums! =)

is the un-watered dieing plant included? "hint hint get the plant some water...." :)
