Quote:So log in after 11:00 UTC today (March 12), and if you won at least 3 battles during the event period, this BPO will be waiting for you in your redeem queue!
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.

4% bonus. Same fitting requirements as the militia.
On that note, I must admit I was rather happy with the very last box I opened as it contained a Quafe Mass Drive BPO. There is something very gratifying in seeing purple streaks of destruction shooting through the air.

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 Update: this apparently got "corrected" in the worst way. Instead of dealing out the rewards that were earned or even coming back and saying "hey sorry that was a typo", they altered the event page to read "every player account that won at least three battles..." And then didn't say anything. They at least could have come and explained that the original text was a mistake and tell us it was only one per account. Instead ninja-editing and pretending we won't notice is... Well, feels dishonest.
I have to agree with that. The wording for the event and during the event was character, not account.
Had I known I would have created two more free accounts and played them just so I could transfer the items to my kids after player trading was added.
Even in banking we honor our typos. Heck, even the grocery store honors it's typos. They don't turn around and say: "sorry, that was supposed to be 5,99 after the discount not 2,99, you have to pay 5,99" they give it to you for 2,99 and correct the typo for the future.

Thanks to the Wayback Machine here is what was actually posted originally:
Quote: During the March 4 11:00 UTC - March 11 11:00 UTC period, should the total number of clones destroyed in New Eden reach 5.000.000, every player that won at least three battles during the event period, shall receive the following items on March 12, 11:00 UTC:
- 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.
-Krin
- 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.

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
Which is all fine and well that they apologized, but as I said: even the grocer honors their mistake while apologizing for it.

But they are in the customer service business and the business of product delivery.
That said, my apologies for being snippy, I was fine until they back changed the wording of the challenge after the fact. That kind of action tends to rub me the wrong way.
