Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! This was in the News on the Notice Board.
I am wondering if they are doing this to test the sever as it will only happen on Emerald. You know, make sure it does not crash. I guess OOO thinks the tablet might bring in a ton of pirates and even bring some back. I hope they are not ALL sent to Emerald... EDIT: not sure if this goes here or in parley...move if need be!

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! /rant I aint gonna waste my time on emerald for some crappy apple product. But on a more concerning note Sub players wont get credit for there time on their ocean for the ipad which is utter BS. Aint right. And triple poe on pillages if that don't cross all ocean I have never seen a bigger pile of crap in my life. I will poo a chicken if all oceans dont the get the triple poe, and you can count on that. That just chaps me to no end. /end rant On a positive note they are making progress on the tablet stuff so props there. I just hope they dont throw the sub ocean under the bus in the launch. And to any grammar nazi's I am sorry for the spotty grammar and spelling. One of the parts of being a southerner. lol ---------------------------------------- Happyjoey Cerulean (Cobalt native), Captain of "For Noobs" (The Best Crew in the Ocean) =p, and King of "Knee Deep" |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! More information regarding this promotion will be revealed as we approach the 24th however, for a chance to win a free iPad one must log into Emerald Ocean between 12pm and 3pm Friday the 24th. The increased payouts and injury chances will be exclusive to Emerald during that time. Other oceans will see increased payouts and injury chances later in the day for the same duration. - Pro |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! I hope the increased payouts and injury chances will come to the other oceans too. I love our sub ocean and I want it to be supported like the rest of the oceans and I know many others do as well. Thanks for responding Pro. Hang on to that chicken Joey! ;) ---------------------------------------- Seatexan - on the Midnight side of Cerulean LOW RACK PRICES AT DRESSED TO KILL - NAMATH Always looking for Pollack Sloops! |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! The notice board links to the Spyglass but there is no corresponding blog post here. Is it forthcoming or what? I petitioned about this but got a cut-and-paste answer from Bia who did not read my question. ---------------------------------------- Retired as of August 2015. Sic transit gloria mundi. |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware!
Yay! I love those ones. Just copy/paste the petition ID and ask the question again. |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! The Notice Board says "check back as May 24th approaches for more information", so I assume there will be a Spyglass entry forthcoming. ---------------------------------------- Loathe/Forever. Cremate tells ye, "i think i just broke my hymen" |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! Hahahaha!!! I am a Texan (not to be confused with American"), born and raised and way too proud for my own good! ;) I was just "awwwww"ing b/c there are so many players from around the world that love this game, that have no chance to win an iPad. ---------------------------------------- Seatexan - on the Midnight side of Cerulean LOW RACK PRICES AT DRESSED TO KILL - NAMATH Always looking for Pollack Sloops! |

Do I actually have to be a legal US citizen, or could I get it shipped to my friend in the US? ---------------------------------------- ~Twittly~ on Avatar by Yumisa! Check out my gallery of other avatars |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! OOO, you haven't released the details yet, so hopefully you're smart enough to have alternate in-game prizes available for the non-USers, or dubs, or something. This giveaway is a minefield in a lot of ways without off-the-bat alienating most of the globe. ---------------------------------------- Aethera of Princess of Maniacal Menagerie Blockade staff on any ocean Avatar by Bunnylaroo |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware!
Yes, you have a point. But it's an IPad for a reason.... This way, the lucky winner will be able to enjoy PP client on the new tablet version...thus the IPad-to play PP on it. Anyways, this tablet version sounds very promising. ---------------------------------------- Zakilla You've seen nothing yet. |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware!
Sure it is and it is a wonderful gift. The issue is not what the gift is, but how not everyone is eligible for it. ---------------------------------------- Seatexan - on the Midnight side of Cerulean LOW RACK PRICES AT DRESSED TO KILL - NAMATH Always looking for Pollack Sloops! |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! Your right it should be totally easy to give non US citizens dubs instead of the ipad and for that matter give a random ceruleanite sub time as a good faith jesture. really you would be giving away virtual goods so that is a good deal for OOO. If they have to give the ipad away for promotion reasons then redraw the pirate until it is american but still give the dubs to the first person if they are non US citizen. ---------------------------------------- - Jublain (Cerulean) - Captain of Knot Working - Avatar By Jublain |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! It's a bit annoying that a company owned by an Englishman should be so US-centric with this kind of thing. You have a Doctor Who/BBC tie-in, surely you have the legal apparatus to give stuff away in Europe. ---------------------------------------- Bobjanova on Viridian and Malachite Shops and stalls with fair and profitable wages for all: Jubilee, Napi, Chelydra Stripped/Barely Dressed (Malachite) Phantasm/Reign of Chaos (Viridian) |

Re: Lay siege en masse to our new server hardware! When I was getting ready to travel to Japan last summer, the helpful people at my local Apple store told me that you can only get Apple products serviced in the country where they are purchased. Assuming this is true, this could be one reason that the IPad prize is only available in the US. In addition, different countries have widely different rules about wagers, and contests, and prizes. Complying with all of them is probably impossible. Not to mention potentially expensive. Personally, I am looking forward to all the creative ideas people will come up with in response to the apparent invitation to try to "break" the server. Hope to see lots of you on Friday! ---------------------------------------- Winklecat SO of The Bootleggers on Emerald Royal and occasional monarch of The End |
