Though I like the idea, there still is alot of problems for those, like me, who wear glasses. The SoEmote doesn't track those parts very well so expressions don't work or partially do. This seems like a contest better left for when it is fine tuned better witht he models and expressions.
Any chance of moving up the anouncement of the contest winner a little bit? The rules say that the winner will be announced on Sep 27th which is exactly 3 weeks before SOE Live begins. That's cutting it kinda close. Flights are disappearing quickly. Also from the official rules: "Prizes will be delivered within approximately six (6) to eight (8) weeks of verification/confirmation of winners." I'm hoping that's just cut/paste from standard contest text. Otherwise, it's going to take a time machine to make use of the prize once it's awarded. Thanks!
I can't give you a date, but I can tell you the judging is almost complete, so we should be able to announce the winner before the 27th. ~Dexella
