News: For EU Players: Win a trip to SOE Live

[Brollywood]

Hey guys, I didn't see anything about this mentioned here yet so I thought I would drop by and shamelessly promote a competition to win an all expenses trip to SOE Live (flight, hotel, SOE Live tickets & some spending money) that we are running over here on EuropeSide:

Sign-ups are running until June 17th @ 17.00, so if you are living in Europe and are 21 or over and want to take part then we would love to see you sign up.

We're also not limiting this to those with only ProSiebenSat.1 Games accounts either btw, so if you're living in Europe and playing with a Station Account (or through Steam) we think its only fair you can take part too.

More details here:

oh boy, lots of playing ahead

wow this sounds epic!

just a question, i'm an EU player with a SOE account, not proesieben, am i still eligible for this Competition?

i've signed anyway

[Brollywood]

Yea torokf, if you are an EU player with an SOE account you are able to take part too.

thanks for the fast answer anyway

but another important question, do I get access to these benefits aswell even though i'm no ProSieben user?

The winning soldiers will get to go on an incredible trip. The Las Vegas adventure begins on July 30th, 2013, and lasts until August 4th, 2013. ProSiebenSat.1 Games will give each winning player USD 300 spending money in addition to the return flight and transfer to Las Vegas, hotel and admission to SOE Live. You can meet with PS2 fans from around the world at SOE Live, as well as take part in PlanetSide 2 panels and meet and greet all your favourite developers of PlanetSide 2.

or it's all up to me then?

I'm not too fond of these kind of contests tbh. You're basically pushing people to give up real life to make it to Vegas, which is sad. SOE as company should take its responsibility and not promote any gaming addiction. People who absolutely love this game but log in only one or two hours a day should have an equal chance.

Marketing Fail with a big "F" imo.

Feedback noted for next time Rolfski! We just wanted to build a competition around score for PlanetSide 2, rewarding the guys who put a lot of time in but I reckon next time we could take a look at letting those who can't play a ton (but who play well) to also have more of a chance.

@Torokf - if you win as an EU SOE player you still get the prize. We decided explicitly not to make a distinction here.

Come on Rolfski, you euro's barely work a 25-30 hour weeks as it is, not to mention all the holiday time you get, plus consider all the unemployed out there, plenty of time to head to Vegas if they win. Heck the current President would make then honorary US citizens and offer them free healthcare and tax exempt status too.. lol

For the love of god, Stop posting in here! I dont need more competition!

Here's a tip for all of the EU players out there, if the current president offers you US citizenship, don't take it.

That's one way to look at it for sure. They deliberately made this a competition for the unfortunate under us that are unemployed and offer them an opportunity to escape their unlucky lives and join the Land of Plenty.

Thanks for the heads up and while I do agree with Rolf I still think it's a great competition for the EU community. It's good to see that you guys will be making three EU players very happy.
I won't be taking part myself, since I don't stand a chance in farming enough points (Nor do I really have the interest in gaming more than I already do)
