We had a total of 39,481 entries (individual global events) for these Gold Rush events and only 3 will emerge victorious, each winning an Alienware X51 Desktop.

I’m happy to present to you the winners for the following events:

Gold Rush Warrior 2012 – Shaman Wizard Legend
Entry 8454 (2012-09-20, 15:33:55) with a PED value of 55.89Gold Rush Prospector 2012 – Michael Baks Bakke

For those who didn’t manage to win this time round, I hope you’ve enjoyed the events at a minimum. Do look forward to our future events and of course, the Gold Rush 2013. Your participation and continued support of Planet Arkadia is very much appreciated.

Cheers,

COMPETITION UPDATE

In searching for the best way to select a winner for the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 competition, the following items have come to the attention of Arkadia Studios:

a) Selecting a winner randomly from all page “Likes” is, contrary to the findings of our preliminary research, a breach of Facebook Terms and Conditions. When choosing a winner, that winner must be chosen from a specific competition entry.
b) An admin of a Facebook page is only able to create a list of a maximum of 500 of its fans at once.

This has led to the decision to use a third-party app called Wildfire, which will select a winner at random, from those who enter the promotion specifically.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and are making every effort to ensure that those who have already “Liked” the page as a result of the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 competition, find out about the change. This will include making a post at our Facebook page.

To give everyone a chance to enter correctly, the competition is now being extended until 23:59 CEST on the Tuesday the 9th of October 2012. Instructions for entry are at the bottom of this post.

In addition, the opening post of the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 thread has been updated to reflect the new rules.

If you have any concerns about this change, you are encouraged to email Arkadia Studios at community@arkadiastudios.com.

Good luck!

For full details, visit the thread here!

Let the Arkoin Auction begin!

Outbid your competitors and you could be trading Arkoins for a variety of virtual and real life items!

As we announced in this thread, due to some delays with Arkoin brokers, we are auctioning off a collection of virtual and real life items.

We’re pleased to announce that the first eight (8) of these auctions are now beginning!

UPDATE: Items added up to number 018!

RULES

Arkadia Studios has taken care to make sure these auctions will be as fair as possible to all. However, we welcome colonist feedback and suggestions on how it might be improved or run in a different way. We therefore reserve the right to make improvements during the auction as we see fit.

  1. A variety of items, both real-life and virtual, will be periodically auctioned during the Arkadia Gold Rush 2012.
  2. The auctions will occur entirely here, in Planet Arkadia Forum, and not in the in-game auction system.
  3. Bids will only be accepted in Arkoins.
  4. Bids of any items other than Arkoins (eg PED) will be deemed invalid.
  5. For each item being auctioned:
    • The item will feature in a new auction thread of its own
    • That auction will be announced in this thread, with a link
    • The auction will begin when it is listed
    • There will be no buyout bid amount
    • For the first three (3) weeks after the relevant auction thread is published, the auction will remain open
    • After the first three weeks, the auction will then end when a bid remains the top bid for a period of 72 hrs
    • Such a 72 hr period will be taken to have begun no earlier than three (3) weeks after the auction thread is published
    • The winner is required to contact Cyrus | Arkadia to arrange for trade, collection or shipping of the auction item, within one week of the end of the auction.
    • If the winner of the auction fails to collect their award within the aforementioned one week of the end of the auction, the item will be awarded to the next highest bidder.
  6. The potential issue has been raised that somebody could bid a million bajillion Arkoins that they don’t have, with the plan of winning the auction, not claiming their prize, and having the prize go to their friend, the second bidder with a very small bid.
    • This is a great point, and we appreciate it having been raised.
    • Arkadia Studios will at its discretion check that interesting bids are backed by an actual Arkoin balance.
    • Arkadia Studios will announce a bid to be invalid on such grounds if deemed necessary.
    • Please note, “million bajillion” is not a real number, though legitimate attempts to bid this high are of course encouraged.
  7. To avoid potential confusion, it would be most helpful if all bidders could ensure that their full in-game avatar name is visible either in their account details to the left of their post, or by stating it in the actual bid post.
  8. Prizes will be sent after the end of Gold Rush 2012 (estimated beginning of November).

To begin with, we are pleased to announce that the following items will be auctioned, with more to follow during the Gold Rush!

  • Full set of seven (7) Unlimited Blueprints for Ankitus armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) Unlimited Blueprints for Koroma armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) full TT pieces of Pegasus (M,L) armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) full TT pieces of Pegasus (F,L) armour (virtual items)
  • 2 x Alienware X51 Desktop complete with mouse and keyboard (real life item)
  • 8 x Alienware TactX Mouse (real life item)
  • 20 x Planet Arkadia Cap/Hat (real life item)
  • 5 x Planet Arkadia Shirts (real life item) – 1 x (XS), 2 x (S), 1 x (M), 1 x (XL)

The following auction items (not a full representation of the above list) are now open for bidding, each in its own thread! Further items will be listed periodically throughout the Gold Rush!
