Man Square-Enix must be losing players, their doing this dumb lotto to make people stay and create Alts thus giving them more money. Sheesh business must really be getting bad for them, would be a need to do this if they hadnt screwed the game up in the 1st place with all the crappy changes they made too it.

lol SE

If i win... I'd so choose to have the Futsuno Mitama... just for the fact i have not seen nor heard of anyone owning it and considering it requires an item dropped of AV. The 100,000,000 would be a much wiser choice, but i wouldn't even now how to spend that much gil other than try to upgrade a relic fully!?

Dam!

I think a character, not account, has to be at least 3 months old in order to purchase a marble. Unsure and just stating what I saw in the general forum. This would only make since to control the character creation frenzy.

RMT will obviously participate but will most likely not be able create characters and will have to use what they have that is 3 months or older. Still, they have a chance.

Moneh!

If you think about it, 100M is the best prize. Everything is is questable or farmable and sure as hell does not equal up to 100M. Ares body is only what, 10-12M depending on the server, and the time you put into salvage.

A lot of people did make the good point of RMT ruining this for us. I hope SE has a plan for that....

Guess there finally giving back all the gil there colecting from RMT busting, but as a person already posted they could re-get it with massive character creation and lv'n to 5.

So this could work out in some way... It make my rdm very happy with a pair of dusk gloves. ^^

#REDACTED, Posted: May 01 2008 at 7:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) If I win a rank 1 or 2 prizes(the gil of course, f the other prizes), I'll finally be able to get my WHM spells that I really need in order to lvl my 47WHM properly.

My luck

"Up to 10 Mog Bonanza marbles can be purchased per character level 5 or above. You can have the same number inscribed on multiple marbles. This will mean bigger earnings should you have a winning number, kupo."

Man imagine being the char that got 5/5 on all ten marbles......

And to make if even funnier, they will probably be someone who started palying like 2 months ago. LOL could you imagin if you got something like that when you were new to the game! I still don't know what i'd do with it all just winning off of one marble >.>

SE are the real winners in all this, people are going to max out there character creation slots maybe buying another account or 2 which means more money for SE

just for e.g /sea "West Ronfaure" and see all the new character's getting up to lvl 5 in preparation for the event,

personally ill stick with the 1, getting the jackpot seems like "ooo i have all this money i need not farm ever again" if and i mean a big IF i win ill have 1 happy linkshell, not saying id give it all away just share it out a lil

Are about 1/100k (with one ticket.) That means if you want a 100% chance of getting 100mil you need 9999 mules at lvl 5. That's about 1m in gil and about $17,468.75 USD. Of course if you want a 100% at winning something all you have to do is have one character with last numbers ranging between 0-9.

Gil Seller DELIGHT

just imagine all of the gil seller's forming an alliance and picking all of the possible numbers... they'd have ridiculous amounts of gil to sell for real cash.... i really hope SE knows what they're doing.. OR who's to stop gil sellers from creating multiple accounts and maxing the amount of content id on one account.. power lvl all of their content id's with 3rd program to lvl 5 and pick all the possible numbers then after the contest, cancel the accounts.. gil sellers have enough gil + cash to do that sorts of stuff..

get ready for one hell of a lot of new characters in the next few weeks

/think

and GL to everyone, i've got 2 characters on my account...

so that means 2 characters times 10 marbles times 1,000 gil. i'm down 20,000 gil.. im gonna treat this like the super lotto and hope the moogles get me some winning numbers /panic

How does this work?

So only the last numbers matter? Meaning if you get the last number right, it checks the next number? I suppose that does make it hard to win, unless I understand it wrong. Also we don't even know the numbers do we? Is it going to be 0-999? I'm thinking it might be considering how nice some of the prizes are. So your last 0-999 has to be right, then the next one? Could someone whose good at math figure out the odds of winning Rank 1 prizes? lol

No way!

SE needs a month to check all the marbles and make sure that they don't pick the "wrong" numbers, causing too much gil and items to enter the market. lol. Or maybe it's a typo, and marbles are on sale until June 28...

Mass char. creation would kind of be dumb... well maybe not... I guess 10k for a possible 100kk? lol is a good idea.

It would suck though if you get rank 4 and you have this lvl 1MNK with a BlackBelt lol that would make me so mad.

I'm just going to get my 10 and hope for the best. GL to all hope someone gets it

If only I could be so lucky to win. Wont hurt to try. Not many chances come around to a casual player winning 100mil or some very time sinked Rare/Ex items.
