Prize Cards?

[Souldier]

I just noticed this in the e-mail sent in the inbox under the Mail tab:

PRIZE CARDS
Starting on Monday the 25th and lasting until further notice, there will be a chance to get a “Prize Card” in the Shop’s Lottery. Prize Cards can be exchanged for a variety of real-world prizes. If you’d rather just have the Gran, the Prize Cards will also redeem for 150 Gran each.

What kind of prizes are these, or is it too early to say?

Another question - like most real-world prizes does one have to live in the US to claim such a thing?

My guess is that they will vary, but I'd be surprised if they don't include prints. Here's hoping for shirts and puff ball plushies. I think shirts are always great prizes cause they also serve the dual-purpose of cheap advertising.

Probably has something to do with your Canadian trading laws.

No, I believe it has to do with US laws and them giving prizes to non-US residents or something.

I think it's the Canadian laws.

you also got to remember that the company that brought it to the u.s. is based in new york thus it will cost more to send it to another country...especially over seas. not that canada is overseas.

Um... yeah, we gathered that much when you suggested such the first time, there was no need to post a second time saying the same thing.

Incidentally I don't personally know the specifics but I find it HIGHLY unlikely it has anything to do with canadian laws because as I understand it Alteil is US based, not Canadian based, and they don't ship to anyone out of the US. While people not in the US may include people in Canada, it includes people in every other country in the world as well.

Whatever floats your boat.

Licensing and cost. We are the official publishers of the game in the US. So, technically we don't support other countries. Thankfully the guys in Japan are very reasonable so if someone outside the country has a paypal issue we do help. However, sending prizes out of country is a no no. Plus it would be more expensive.
