Funcom & AO Universe February/March Contest!

Post by Windguaerd » Wed Feb 15, 2006 1:24 pm

Funcom and AO Universe bring you the February/March Contest! Our friends at FC have provided the following Prizes:

ATTENTION: DUE TO THE LONG DOWNTIME OF OUR FORUMS THE CONTEST IS NOW EXTENDED TO MARCH 24TH!

First Prize:

Lifetime AO Account with all the expansion and all Pre-Order bonuses

Second Prize:

Shadowlands and Alien Invasion Expansion with Pre-Order bonuses

Third Prize:

Shadowlands Expansion with Pre-Order bonus

The Bonuses for each expansion are:

Shadowlands: Luxury Apartment (this place looks amazing, great for parties)

Alien Invasion: Pet Leet (yes, you can summon one of 10 different pet leets)

Rules of Contest:

Current Members of the AOU Team are not eligible to win any prize (also because they helped with the questions, hehe).

One entry per person, or you are automatically disqualified. You can't send 2 e-mails if you realize one of the answers you sent in is wrong.

Your account must be in good standing with Funcom and must not be suspended or banned.

Your account must have be at least 2 months old, this is to avoid people creating many fr00b accounts and web-email addresses to increase their chance of winning.

Trading or selling the Prizes is forbidden and against Funcom EULA, if this happens the prizes will be revoked. In other words, don't try to ebay it, sell it to anyone or trade accounts or bonuses.

Entries with 100% correct answers are entered in a raffle to decide the winners of the contest. Yes, you get all of them right and you have an even shot.

2nd an 3rd Prize winners will have their accounts upgraded which means that if they are currently on the AO promotional free account offer (a fr00b account) they will become pay accounts where monthly fees will apply.

How to Enter:

There are 15 questions related to the Official AO Timeline. Each question has 4-5 possible answers, of course only one is correct, you will have to read the timeline to find out which one is true.

Nope, first prize is a payed account! All accounts access all 3 standard servers.

You just have to have an account that is in good standing with FC & is at least 2 months old...

If you fill out the E-Mail as stated, send it to the correct address & only do it once... Then it's a valid entry...
As for raffle confirmation, you mean like being told that you've got to catagory B? No...
However, all answers will be posted after the raffle closes, so you can check against your entry.

Remember, only one entry each, duplicate entries will disqualify you.

Good luck.

You would have to ask FC about that, we have no account details (apart from our own (& even then we don't know if they're in good standing)).
