Hi everyone - 
   
 
The BioWare Bazaar was launched this week as the start of a year-long celebration around BioWare’s 15th anniversary. 


We recognize that BioWare has a global community, and the Bazaar this week was originally intended to be an international event to reflect our truly global fanbase. Unfortunately, we encountered some last-minute legal complications around how contests can be structured in different parts of the world that prevented us from including all territories in this first event, even though that was our original goal.  And for that, we sincerely apologize – our goal with this sort of celebration is to show all our fans worldwide how much we appreciate your support!


BioWare definitely really values all members of our world-wide Community, no matter where you live.  Accordingly, in the coming weeks, we will be announcing details about future events specifically for fans living in those territories which were excluded from participating in the first BioWare Bazaar.  The future events will be a bit different from the first Bazaar in how they’re set up and structured, but our goal is to feature the same caliber of awesome prizes and great BioWare collectibles.  We’ll announce more details in the coming weeks


The reception from those fans who have been able to take part in this first event has been incredible – thank you for participating! - and we’re looking forward to future events where we can enable fans from additional territories to also join in the fun.


Thank you all for your continued and ongoing support and participation in the BioWare Community – we really appreciate all your support over the past 15 years, and the future will be even brighter!


Sincerely,


Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk
Co-founders, BioWare

this was very cool.....people should have been patient enough to find out the problem before ranting and raving.

Oh no, now you're going to be giving better contests to people from other countries. I feel slighted as an American.

Also, I don't think I could miss an opportunity like this to post my referral link: [link removed]

I did contribute to the thread in some way though, I'm not spamming.

Colour me intruiged. Just don't go asking me to spam places with links, and I might actually participate in anything for the Uk/Europe.

But I'm keeping my sig for a little while.

I was disappointed before. But now that I know exactly how and why it happened, I feel much better. I knew you wouldn't let us down.



Now I have to go change my sig...

[Sensei Wuzi]

[igniss]

[MerinTB]

Well, that's good to see from Mr. Muzyka.



Hopefully that'll ease the tension and soothe some bruised egos.

[Omicronmd]

This is much appreciated, thank you!

[Jonathan Shepard]

I will keep my sig until I can be a part of the eligible community again. :3

[Onyx Jaguar]

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to apologize. Looking at all the ranting and hatred, this is pretty much exactly what the community needed.

That being said, I'd to humbly ask of you if we can participate in an alternative event, one to raise money for Child's Play. We would greatly appreciate it if we were allowed to help in such a way.

Yours truly,
Mathew R. (Kaiser Shepard)

Dose this mean since Florida and New York are in the USA they won't get to be in any of the other contests either?

They'll probably get their own unique contest. Lucky buggers.

Why ppl saying that has no "rest of the world" banner? =P

On the other hand, thanks to you, BW guys, for some kind of an answer. Could have been done right at the launch, i.e., zero'ed clock countdown! Might have saved a lot of space in the forum servers! =)
