While I`m not a mind reader here`s my opinion on the facebook thing
first off yes i fully understand the gift (available to all and lagging behind because of demand or dev issues with the actual issuing of the gift) and the facebook contest are two entirely different things so please don`t think i don`t know that
That being said, and getting past all the ``happy smiley attitude that its a chance for free cents`` Evony/Regan Mercantile uses facebook for the sole purpose of advertising their game, so when you say just go create an account and like it, they're basically saying "to have a fair and equal chance you have to do our advertising for us" as far as im concerned if you want to advertise your game YOU can spend YOUR MONEY to purchase advert space and YOUR EMPLOYEE's time to advertise it, I myself do not use facebook as i really have no desire to, and from what i hear you have to verify your account before your able to participate, which takes about 10-15 minutes to set up, multiply that by say, 5,000 new fb users, thats 5,000 "likes" which in essance constitute 5k free adverts.
besides all that...age 1 was never intended to be used with facebook, and now your saying to get the same treatment we have to create a facebook account, well I dont want my personal info on facebook, and lying about it on the form is against their TOS, and while many of you will say no one can tell if you do in fact lie on facebook so whats the big deal, ill say this...it's no different the Evony's Site rules, if you want to be a fair and legitimate player you play by the rules laid out by the site you are using, if you want people to respect the rules of one site you should respect the rules of another
on that basis, i am either faced with the choice to put my personal info out there and do evony's advert work, or lose out on a chance (while a small chance, say 0.003%, its still not 0%, meaning you deny me the opportunity to win anything.) So why is that...that when you first introduced the facebook linking w/age 2 you were specific about age 1 being kept out of facebook entirely (while i dont post much i read the forums alot and yes it was said multiple times) now how do you justify giving some on age 1 the chance to win and deny others simply to boost your advertising of the game?
