And the 250T celebration is here! We'll be celebrating reaching the quarter quadrillion mark in prizes given away all week long, for six days! The celebration includes a Bonk with six T2 BPO prizes for six different winners!


First Prize: Mastodon BPO
Second Prize: Medium Shield Transporter II BPO
Third Prize: Medium Energy Transfer II BPO
Fourth Prize: Shield Boost Amplifier II BPO
Fifth Prize: Remote Sensor Dampener II BPO
Sixth Prize: Radar Backup Array II BPO

In addition to the Bonk, the Blink Blast makes its triumphant return with the largest prize ever of 250 billion isk for one lucky winner! Also, if you have a Blink account that's been registered for at least 7 days before the celebration, click on the banner on the front page to check out a free gift we have for you! Also, look out for the Bonus Blinks - normal Blinks which will pay out a double prize!

Don't forget about the Minibonks and promos, which will be running all week long. Thanks for helping us get here as always, and happy 250T!

Hi! I read about this 250 thing and thought I would come see what the big deal is about.

I want to play, but got really worried when I saw this.

What's that all about? Some kind of scam?

Heya Ariel :)

That's some guy who told us if we paid him 49b, he'd make a shill page, and if we did not, he'd make a smear page. We don't pay people to have opinions for us, so he made the smear page. :p

Gambler's regret is an unfortunate side-effect of a successful gambling service. But feel free to evaluate the things he claims on their own merits, ask other Blink players about their experiences, and make your own opinions :)

Our host is aware of the issue, apparently a router in the datacenter went poof.

They're working on it.

Whew. Big thanks to folks for being patient through the server issues. And big thanks to those who participated in the "Somer Lotteries" chat channel trivia during it :)

Will you guys increase the bonus for the GTC purchases from Shattered Crystal like you did on the previous celebration?

I remember buying a GTC from there for that bonus and the next day the bonus went from 100m to 150m if I remember correctly. Not much but still :)

Unfortunately, due to supply issues on SC's side, we're not able to offer the bonus right now - but we are working with other affiliate programs to try and rectify that problem. :/

So if i got that right, no bonus at all right now, not even the usual 100m, right?

Oh no, sorry, didn't mean to miscommunicate there. The usual bonus is absolutely still on. Just the extra bigger bonus that went with the 200T celebration had to be put off. :)

So I just won an Obelisk and I am wondering if it will be delivered to Jita or nearby lowsec?
Or is it possible to have it deliverd to Rens/Hek or nearby lowsec?

Freighters are delivered in Jita 4-4, though you can request it as ISK to buy one local to you instead if you like :)

Really? I never got that choice!
The only option I got was "Hub".

I guess I can't reverse my prize for ISK?
Since I'm engaged in factional warfare, going to Jita is a bit of a ***** for me. :(

Oh, I just looked more in depth and noticed the Obelisk was a promo win. Promos don't offer the option for ISK unfortunately - only the item, and only in Jita (or lowsec in the case of carrier, dread, or rorqual promos). Non-promo wins are the ones that come with multiple claiming options :)

The good news is - you don't actually have to fly to Jita to contract the ship, so you can contract it to a non-FW alt to sell for you if you have one, or just contract it up for sale if you don't :)

I didn't know that!

Looking at that link from the site above, I can understand how someone would post such a thing if they were not doing so well with their gambling and try to sinisterly profit from it but it does beg to question, the one point brought up about fake characters, It would be nice to have a little more transparency about the discrepancy of Princess Darknight.

Qrovax - The Blink account is indeed older than the character in that case :)

We only allow one Blink account per person. When someone sells their old character, or just wants to change which char they Blink with, we transfer their old Blink account to their new character, so they don't have to break the rules to keep playing :)
