    I live in Sweden..I had hoped for at least a chance for the 3000 crowns at least..but

    NOPE

    I mean, it makes logical sense that only Finland and Norway are available to enter, after all. Its not like Sweden are neighbor with both those countries.

    *** you ZMO (Still love ESO <3) And *** you Sweden!

    Shouldn't it be the other way around?! Us players who've had to struggle with a constant ping of over 400 should be the only ones allowed to enter, as these other guys get their stuff already (like actually having a chance at being good and not having a 1-sec lag on absolutely everything).

    I want to swear a lot, but I was brought up better than that.

    No. Players with "constant pint" over 400 does not deserve any special treatment in regards to this contest.

    THIS would be something to complain and feel victimised about.

    The rest of that comment, not so much.

    Why do some of you guys dramatise everything so much?

    Do some (privileged) people need to feel victimised that badly?

    I for one still feel just as happy to be Polish as I did yesterday, and every day before that. :) Sure, I'd like a chance to win - and I think we should all be able to at least get the crowns - but I'm not going to rage over something ultimately quite meaningless.

    Why is my state/province restricted from entry?
    When we came up with this crazy idea, we wanted everyone across the globe to have a chance at winning the million bucks. However, it turns out that giving away that much money isn't as straight forward as we had hoped. There are different competition rules per country and even across states and that ultimately determined for us the final list of eligible countries and states.

    Whilst I admit I was in an awful mood at ZOS about the selling of Bites on the Crown store at the time, I stand by the gist of my comment.
    I certainly don't actually expect any special treatment for being in an area with bad connection to the servers, however I do expect ZOS to try and show at least some kind of respect to us players who are in inelligable countries.

    As I said in another discussion, I would have been happy if they'd presented some small alternative prize for people in the other countries that can't enter, and suggested a custom costume/mount etc that could be added. This would be both awesome, and would cost ZOS a whole lot less than 1mil.

    Part of the reason NY and a lot of other states/countries are excluded are laws like they are required to post a bond for the total prize amount. It also has requirements that the bond be posted 7 days prior (florida) or up to 30 days prior (New York) before the contest.this is required in any contest where the prize exceeds 5000 dollars.


    Now, one thing I'm not sure of, can we be entered into the 3000 crown give away but not the million dollar give away @ZOS_GinaBruno ? The 3000 crown give away would be legal for a lot of states/countries since it wouldn't exceed the prize limit.

    Yeah I just read this when I did 30 seconds research into why Florida was excluded, to answer someone's question. I'm in the UK, so I guess one of the lucky countries with laws a little more lax on sweepstake prizes, but I didn't mind looking up at possible reasons why other places are excluded. People continue to say its ZOS' fault though, that they are discriminating against those countries, but that isn't what they are doing. But I agree about the 3000 crown giveaway, that should indeed bypass any issues with the ineligible countries' laws.

    If a country isn't eligible for $1kk then give them a million dollars worth of crowns, because let's be honest, we're only going to spend it on that anyway.

    Oh I agree re the bites. Especially about skipping the quest. I am not sure whether I'd mind if it was just a bite which led to the quest.
