Our players have decimated the goal reaching the total of 5.000.000+ clones killed in New Eden at 9:41 AM UTC on March 11th. Read the full report, and find out what's the BPO reward right here.
The event details specifically said that each character, and not each player, that wins at least 3 battles during the event period willreceive the reward. Because of this i Idecided to put in a little more effort and grind out a few wins with my low level alts, who both could use it more than my main. When I logged in today only one character received the rewards though. Will this be fixed, or do players who took the time to qualify multiple characters be penalized due to poor wording?
Additionally, of the 20 keys that I did get, I was only able to use 19 because when I used the 16th key, it ticked down 1 key(from 5 to 4), then I got a spinning blue wheel for a full five minutes, then it ticked down another key(from 4 to 3) and gave me somethingbim not going to use. Strongboxes are a game of chance and I understand that, so no complaints about the item(I'll sell it when auction house comes out) but losing a key for no reason is pretty frustrating

So, does this mean there will be a BPO per character or per account? My impression was that this was per character. Since I play 1 character and my kids play the other two, we have only one overall account. Please tell me I am not going to pull rank on my kids and take this just for myself.  Well, looks like it is per account and not character. My kids will be a little disappointed. C'est le vie.
The event details said every character. I was disappointed and hope it gets corrected

- INCOMING TRANSMISSION
It would seem that you guys need a hand. I have disabled the primary systems and added 48 hours to the counter. I have also extracted a dropsuit module that you might just get your hands on once I am done with modifications. You're welcome.

- END OF TRANSMISSION
x1 Event-exclusive BPO (non-consumable) item - revealed on 12th of March, 11:00 UTC via Dev blog and in-game
x1000 Warbarge Components
x20 Decryptor Keys
Make sure to follow @DUST514 where we will be tweeting your progress toward achieving this goal!
A few notes and conditions:
Only clones actually destroyed are counted in public contracts, and not deaths. This means that if you kill someone that is revived, and then kill them again, this only counts as one destroyed clone, not two.
Clones killed by friendly fire are not counted towards the total. Shooting your friends in the back is junk data.
Active characters for this event are defined as any character that plays and wins at least 3 matches during the event period.
Look, CCP, you might have meant per Account, but that is not what you said nor how it could be reasonably interpreted by what you said. I, and others, understood it to be "Active Characters" and "players". So, ball is in your court. We merely ask you to honor your word as given.
Your answer is here:

I had confidence we could do it and we underperformed We apologize if we made you feel that way. Next time we will make it very clear whether it is account-wide or per-character rewards that are being distributed in the event. for my part, I forgive them. They didn't mean to be ambiguous and as hard as they work and as cool as Frame is overall, iI'm not too upset about it. Sure it rewards people that use multiple PSN accounts and it punishes those of us who played by the rules of the event, but that wasn't their intent and at least they did apologize. Some of you may feel differently, in which case the balls in your court
