You might have noticed that we are in Germany, covering MMORPG news from the biggest European gaming convention. As announced before ArenaNet is not doing anything “spectacular” in terms of presentation because the game is about to launch and everyone is hard at work to make that happen. Luckily, we came across several very friendly community managers and some old Aion friends and managed to get something really exciting for you guys. As you might be aware, Arena Net is giving away in-game codes that will unlock a special item (It’s a white T-shirt with red dragon on it.) for your character once the game launches. You can obtain these if you visit Guild Wars 2 booth at Gamescom.
For those of you that are not at the show in Cologne, we managed to obtain some codes and get the item anyways. We did not get many, only four, but it’s better than nothing. The only thing you need to do is use the widget bellow and enter the giveaway by following us on twitter (you get 3 entry points for this) or leaving a comment here on the site (you get one entry point for this). The winners will be chosen at random on August 21st and notified by email so make sure you leave proper contact information when you sign into the widget. Duplicate entries will not be accepted and will be removed. Thank you all for participating and good luck.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to an unprecedented demand we are forced to end the giveaway prematurely. We initially wanted to run it for 4 days, but we had 4000 people apply within the first 8 hours. Letting this continue with only 4 keys to be given away would just be pointless, so we have decided to cut short the giveaway. We thank you all for participating and we will be contacting the lucky winners with their codes within the next 24 hours. We talked to NCSoft and we were told that a larger batch of keys will be available for us to giveaway so all of you have at least a decent chance of getting one. If we continued this giveaway, the ratio would be one key to 1000 applicants and probably 1 to 10000 within a few days. You might as well play the lottery with those odds …
