                 So the Mog Bonanza numbers will be announced in game via server message pop up in 35 minutes (or 4am EST).

                 Just out of curiosity, does SE post a video of them actually drawing the numbers, or is it as we've always predicted; done in secrecy (AKA: them fixing it so the lowest amount of numbers picked are the winning numbers)?They only show it during Vanafest
So when it's done, they record it, then whenever Vanafest 2013 takes place, they show it on screen?
Naw. I don't know how they are doing it this year, but in 2010, they called them live at vanafest. Probably in some secret meeting and then they just post them on a site and across the /servmes. Conspiracy ensues! However, I highly doubt anyone will ever win 10 rank 1 prizes, even though that would be epic.

                 Got spyware / keylogged / phished yesterday. I expect to be able to log back in to an empty account except for Rare/Ex non-vendor-sale items. Probably will log in and be on WHM, in the middle of a group of Hume Male A-1 face people, powerleveling them at some GoV page.
 So... even if you don't win mog bonanza, be happy your luck didn't send you down that path.
 
 * Just a reminder, update your spyware / antivirus / programs a lot in the coming few weeks. RMT are going to be in full force with their tricks to stock their coffers full in anticipation for the expansion. In the way I understand it, RMT sales increase during those periods due to demand so they are gonna get that supply somehow and people using repeat passwords across various sites, no security token, and not using the software keyboards are their bread-and-butter.
I was really bummed out that I had to stay up for an extra hour. Thanks for cheering me up Esdain.

Actually, I figured that was something I could start running while waiting this hour. Better than sitting around doing nothing.

Same crazy boat as you, and even with 160 marbles, best I've ever seen was an R4 prize. I remember I picked ore or something for it, since it was that long ago and made what was supposed to be good money.

                 haha i think what SE meant b y the winning numbers would be released at 12:00 am tuesday march 12 pst was that at that time they will have billed us for an extra cycle and then canceled the lottery due to the fact some guy in california is sueing the la county medical lab for the accidental creamation of the guys cat when the cat was found selling gil to some korean chic on la pointa ave.
 Or maybe they just need to figure out how to release the numbers that show none of us won anything.

                 no wonder they were worried there japanese players would go to prison or worse for gambling in japan.  there knowledge of legal matters is par with that of my 2009 suburu outback

                 Is anyone else crazy like me and play bonanza with max characters? Rank 4 is the most I've ever one since it's inception :x
Same crazy boat as you, and even with 160 marbles, best I've ever seen was an R4 prize. I remember I picked ore or something for it, since it was that long ago and made what was supposed to be good money.
if at least ten of those are on one pol account you can at least guarantee a rank four. some sea torques are useful still... and have horrible chances of dropping.  also merciful cape is very useful for schs.  and both can be sent over an account.

yeah, all on the same account. only active during bonanza time (which is conveniently stretched across two billing periods)
 
already got my merciful the old fashioned way in the lvl 75 days, i am considering one of the skillup pieces for rank 4

beats my 0 marbles, i mean 220 marbles, if my restore is done prior to march 26.
 
I still think i have higher odds right now at 0 then when i had 220

        Slycer said:  They had their legal teams in each region working on the issues around the Mog Bonanza to get it resolved. They're happy to announce that they've come to a settlement on this and will be able to resume hosting the Bonanzas with the next one scheduled for either late January or February. Usual suspects will be around including Cat's Eye, AA weapons, etc. (they asked for recommendations, too), and obviously more details will be announced as it gets closer.|  |  | |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Ladies and gentlemen!
