The question is, do you have
The question is, do you have to be doing dungeons in order to receive the prizes? As they said you had to be playing. Does that mean not afk? Or that you have to physically be doing things?

Does a GM just randomly show
Does a GM just randomly show up and trade you items/crowns/CE or do they automatically insert such things into your account if you're logged on?

The in game mail is capable of sending all sorts of items. Especially when the mail comes from Spiral HQ.

Sounds like they want a bunch of people to log in and go AFK so that they can claim that they set some record for concurrent players online.

Lol, at least one person has something negative to say about anything Three Rings does, even when they are doing giveaways.
Sounds like people are butthurt.

Every hour, Friday - Sunday = 46 hours? Yes, that's not wrong at all.
Sounds like they want a bunch of people to log in and go AFK
Except that's impossible given the fact, y'know, you can only idle for 10 minutes before being disconnected.

How is that the opposite of what they should do? Suddenly a big influx of players who didn't give the game a chance might take notice and be interested, potentially increasing their profits. Such a horrible idea indeed.

Allow me to rephrase.
That's the opposite of what YOU should want to happen. More players = less chances for you to win. Then again, I'm pragmatic so take that with a grain of salt.

Wasn't here in beta
Can a player win more than once? I know the odds are I won't win at all but just curious if anyone knows if you can win multiple times.

Thanks, just what I came here to ask :D
Also, indeed, little events like these should increase activity notably.

This is awesome
I'm loving this, there won't be inflation because the amount of give away is not big enough to have much impact. Even if there is inflation, the price of CE would probably decrease since they're giving away CE, not crowns, the more CE in the system, the cheaper CE will be, so that's good, the only down side to it is that it will be crazy unplayable lagging during this weekend since many players will be logging in at the same weekend.

Just to Clarify
There will be 54 or 55 winners, depending on whether or not there is a winner at 2pm on Friday. Not 46 as I read in another post.

You can only idle for 10 minutes before you auto-disconnect.
The giveaway events in Preview were always so much fun. I won a nice little bundle of CE one time, feels pretty good.
