Quoted from "zidlef"

Ok so this is a lottery?? mmmhhh are they registered to hold a lottery??

Also a lottery for a 7 day mount?? like really?? too hard to give away a permanent mount to the winner, loll, that is very sad.

Well hopefully they give us codes for the mount and we can pass it along a new player that might pop up on the server.

Really not that great of an effort on this one, sorry

Better than a shoe full of coal...

Quoted from "Myste"


It's a solution, but it's not a good one.

I'd be interested in knowing how many players bother to enter a lottery for such a temporary item, especially when there's supposed to be so few winners.

Might be only a few winners, but look at the total number of whiners..


Quoted from "Borella"

A lottery for a seven day mount when 99% of the player base (And almost surely everyone that bothers to read the forums/homepage) already have a permanent mount. What a slap in the face... if the whole calendar is like this I guess I won't participate.

Would you rather it be a 100 point talent orb?

Quoted from "Almondnut"


A lottery is a slap in the face to your customers.

And what is to say some people on the forums don't deserve to be slapped?

While growing up, the advent calendar my sisters and I got contained 24 1$ and 1 2$ scratch off lottery tickets. Any money won was split 50/50 with the Salvation Army red kettles.

I think my issue is more that they're doing it under the name of *advent calendar*.

If they wanna go this route I think it woulda been better to scrap the advent and redo the event under a name like the Snowflake Festival Daily Lottery.

Booo Gameforge. Boo.

The old system (while flawed due to multiple account abuse) was perfectly fine!

Christmas is a time for GIVING, not seeing who gets chosen at random... Go back to the old system, daily free stuff (even if it wasn't great stuff, a free puri or daily quest ticket can make a huge difference to a newbie).

:grumble: Bring it back :grumble:

I guess that is how they stop making it possible for people with multiple accounts to abuse the system made the prize so bad no one wants it. A chance at a 7 day mount sick just plain sick. What is tomorrow a chance to win 1 gold.

No link runes, sorry. But some transport runes, pets, tickets, storage chests, potions, etc.

1 Winner? They should of given out 7 day Runes disks to everyone that entered. They would of been riding around going WOOT! I got a prize on the Advent calendar. Then everyone would want to participate too.

Then put rune disks on sale a week later.

Why don't these people want to make money?

166 participated and only 1 got a 7day mount. Yea tis the season to be jolly. They gave away free wings on facebook for a year and want to change the advent calendar which gave out lame items and concept art because a few too many players were using different accounts. They got their priorities a bit off. Xmas seems to every year get less and less giving and fun. lets see what else they got planned, still time to salvage this lame fest.

I think Gameforge is where the people that work carnival games moonlight in the off season.

If everyone had been given a 7 day mount, we would have all been hopping around on our ferrets telling all of our friends to come and play. I would have felt compelled to log in and ride the ferret all over the place just for fun. Maybe I would have even added a permanent one to my collection of mounts if you decided to put them on sale a week or so after they expired. You could have given one permanent away in the lottery. That would generate a lot of interest in the game and encouraged people to spend their diamonds.

Official statement from ThePit on the European forum is that there is a single winnder per day. Given the high value of the prizes (looks like a big angel sigh for today) I can't help but think that their markting budget must already have run out of virtual items during the course of the year. Yeah, I know, it's technically a free giveaway for 24 people. I still suspect that people would have been happier (or less disgrunteld) if they had just posted a "Merry Christmas" instead.

The European forum is currently running an advent calendar donation fund, so Gameforge can spice up the calendar with some real gifts. 3700 diamonds so far, wonder if Gameforge is going to collect.

Quoted from "Mika"

Every day, click the Advent Calendar button on the home page of our forums to see what prize you will get.


Hmmmm... will get v. have a chance to enter a lottery to win. I see a difference there. Did Mika mis-type the announcement?

Since this is my first time seeing this i will say you give better gifts in game from arena manager, so you feel free to keep your chance of this stuff.
