[p]*arches an eyebrow* So you are wanting us to submit pictures of our messiest, crammed packed, "oh! I didn't know I had that!", totally disorganized, bed stacked on bucket, rat infested ingame rooms?[/p][p]For the chance to "win" items to be decided? [/p][p]Hmmm .. [/p][p]----[/p][p]btw your picture link appears to be broken. [/p][p] [/p]
/groan Why is this contest only valid for people in the USA? What about those of us who have messy houses and live in Australia? Canada? Europe? It's annoying to always be left out of these little fun events.

My only question is what about homes that are already stuffed with crap? Could use some decorating in my library area I guess. :lol:
While ah'm disapointed that the rest of the world got ostracised yet-again, instead of adding more crap to an already overcrowded apartments (shuffling things around doesn't change the fact you have run out of room) how about a free upgrade to a bigger apartment (if applicable) with a free delivery service to relocate your items to your new apartment
I have tried with both Thunderbird, which I use..and Exploder..which I don't... to read the rules and I keep getting an error page. That is what I get below. Am I doing something wrong? type Status report message /contestsRules.vm description The requested resource (/contestsRules.vm) is not available.
A note to our international friends. Contests like this are run through our legal department for authorization and approval (since there is an actual prize). There are different ways to do things like this for our international friends, and we do seek out those opportunities where we can find them, but it's not always possible, or concurrent. So I do feel your pain and would love to find a way to host this for folks around the world, but right now that's not on the table.

"send a .jpg format in-game screenshot of your character's house in EverQuest II " silly question here.....do you want those of us with larger houses to limit it to one screenshot or do we send pics of entire home?

Considering that these are RL prizes... I think it would be rather creepy to have a Gnome in my house hanging wallpaper. I might be able to get used to it if he also cleaned the litter boxes however. XD

If that's the case, there should be no issues with international players such as myself participating. Local and regional laws only apply to tangible prizes such as cash & merchandise.
