your vision is wrong
you lose if not win 100%=100 sapphires each ticket

with this calc you calc only the 20 sapphire that plarium collects each ticket in his pocket based on value prize

And what if you win, not lose, Jumy? :)

Yes and i think the only correct comment that you made 


60,000 * 1/500 = 120 sapphires 

120-100=20

I win always 20 sapphire each ticket in line with theory ?

In light of recent comments made in respect of the Prize Draw feature in the Stormfall: Age of War, we wish to clarify that contrary to some of these comments, the Prize Draw is not to be considered any type of gambling, as the prizes offered are virtual in nature, can be solely used within Stormfall: Age of War, and cannot be redeemed or exchanged in any form or manner in return for real life currency.

any lottery with prizes of any type that provides for the purchase of tickets with any form of exchange with real money is gambling

As Jum said, its not about the prize its about the entry, and there is no difference between sapphires earned in game and the ones you buy in regaerds of obtain said tickets.


Imagine some kid use their parrets CC and get a bunch of sapphires to buy tickets for, the parrents find out, does a charge back, and then you end up in a dispute claim. I would think enabling gambling for kids would start float then.

Alonya.... that is flat out wrong.


jsut because you "clarify" it doesnt make it legal. 


what makes it illegal is that its a raffle.  It has nothing to do with the prizes.  the fact that real world money is spent to purchase tickets.  and it doesnt matter that spphires can be won in game...because the game doesnt not distinguish between whats bought and whats earned.


it would be legal if you used runes of fealty, or something that cannot be purchased with real world money.  its the TICKET that makes it illegal, not the prize.

Alyona, do you even read what you write? I know you can't possibly believe what you wrote.

What the currency is is irrelevant. Plarium is asking us to pay a small amount in the hope of winning a larger amount. That is the definition gambling.

Your argument should be as to if it is illegal gambling or not but the fact that it is gambling is undeniable.

Lords and Ladies, the answer about Prize Draws has been given several times. The Prize Draws feature is not to be considered any type of gambling and we gave you clear anwer on this matter, that's why I'm closing this topic.
