So when are we getting our stuff? I read the thread carefully and I don't think this was discussed yet!
"Ever wanted to battle it out with FINAL FANTASY XI's most beloved heroines? Lion, Prishe, Lillisette, Aphmau and another surprise heroine await you within the "Heroines' Holdfast"! Come join the Community Team on the Test Server on July 20th and 27th at 6pm (PDT) where we'll be handing out battlefield entry orbs to the event everyone's been talking about!
This is a great chance to try out the event that was showcased at VanaFest 2012 before we start handing out orbs to the Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway winners!"
Looks like sometime after the 27th. If I had to guess I would say after the 1st of next month to make sure people subscribe another month instead of quitting after they don't win.

I think Crysta is like that but I am not 100% sure since this month when I reactivated I got a pro-rated discount, which usually only happens when they have a specific payment day in mind.

Here's an oddball question, but since they're trying to make it all legal like now to operate, would it be possible to request a list of winners like all other US contests allow you to do over some kind of legal mumbo jumbo in the small text?
I'd love to see some form of data indicating which servers ended up with what prizes, and I'm sure there has to be at least a few other bored people that would like to know such information as well.

Just got confirmation that things are still moving according to schedule (our "in July" time frame) and that prizes should hopefully start appearing in lucky adventurer's delivery boxes soon! I don't have an exact time for you for when it begins, but one thing to keep in mind is that prizes will be delivered in order, so it may take some time before all of the prizes are completely distributed.
We'll make sure to post once we have confirmed that all prizes are sent out!  | |

The thing that I love most about SE is that even the people they pay to know what's going on don't know what's going on.

Honestly, I'm not surprised it took this long. They DID say that the Heroies' Holdfast would be available on the test server before it was released to the public server. The dates that the reps would have players do this fight on the test server was the 20th and the 26th.
Also, I doubt they would be doing anything on the weekend, since Sqenix doesn't really operate on the weekends. Everyone, just spam check yer delivery boxes all day today. If you didn't get anything, you can try praying for something on the 30th and 31st.

So... I found an Ark Saber today, hadn't seen one yet. Was that only from the Gobbiebag Giveaway, or did the JPs get that from their bonanza too?

It's just infuriating that it seems the japanese got their prizes immediately. Not to mention the whole thing was started late. Then they decide they want people to test it first? Shouldn't that have been done before the contest started? And if it's actually just to let other people have a chance shouldn't the contest winners get first dibs (at least thats my opinion)?

This is just mind boggling. What is the honest excuse for taking so long? One click of a button, and it sends the items to us. Don't want to make it by delivery box? That's cool, just use the moogles that have no real purpose sitting around starter cities. I just want my loot already. It's seriously back-handed, yet brilliant on their part to force another month's payment out of people just to collect their prizes.

SE said they were testing the Athena Orb today. And since that is part of the prize bag, it makes sense that they haven't distributed them yet.
Why people are getting so bent out of shape is beyond me. It's only a game.

everything is a conspiracy theory to get another months worth of money >.>
but really :/ there is a pretty damn good chance you aren't going to get anything at all, if you plan on not paying for next month, probably not best to make a lotto into your incentive
edit: i was being sarcastic on the first part just to clarify

I already paid for 1 month to sign up for the lotto, not paying a second to see if I win an ark angel scythe. Already lapsed anyway, probably already disqualified

It's hardly a conspiracy theory they do that with nearly every lottery they've ever had. Honestly tho this is probably one of the few times the event was held in a month and given out in the same month. Usually they had you hold onto those marbles until the next month came around. It's more like convenient laziness imo.

They're not "Forcing" you to pay for another month of anything. And honestly, if the only reason you resubbed to XI was for this, then you really need to rework your priorities.

The sneaky and stealthy goblins were able to infiltrate the FINAL FANTASY XI in-game item vaults and pilfer a ton of items right from under our noses... It turns out that it was all for a good cause because they are creating a variety of Golden Gobbiebags packed to the brim with goodies for some lucky adventurers to take home.
