Many congratulations to the winners ( and there were quite a few).

No-one does it quite like Somer blink, the site is fantastic, the staff, as stated before, are amazing but for me, it's the guys in the chat channel that puts the icing on the cake. Seeing familiar names win these superb prizes makes me smile. Well done people and thanks again Somer, Andrev, Grammar, Sylvie and the wonderful team you have assembled.


Bring on 400T !!

Yes, we can transfer your account to a new character-- there's no charge or anything.

Just contact support :) you'll need to provide a sale thread if you don't control the character anymore.

Apologies for the 10m of downtime; our host chose midnight my time as a good time to reboot the server to apply critical security patches.

While security patches are good, getting phone calls from monitoring systems at midnight is kinda meh Blink

Most the time, these little hiccups are just the daily database backup - often these run seemlessly, but sometimes if the site is busy simultaneous to the event, the site can hang for a few minutes :)

Just started playing. Making a 10% return in investment so far, partly with the many achievements.

Not sure if it'll keep up once the first easy achievements are out of the way.

its a rule thing i believe, no doubt a blinky person will let you know.

"The use of multiple characters by the same person to earn special achievement credit or prizes from promotions is not allowed. Such actions will result in adverse measures being taken against your account, up to and including account closure. This includes the use of alts to participate in: •"Pres Butan"
•promo.blink

Needs to learn to read.


So you can use multiple accounts to participate in normal blinks?

Hi,

Would it be possible to provide a listing of Bonk/Mini-Bonk stats history ? I was thinking something along the lines of:

Bonk / Mink-Bonk, Total Number of Tickets, Winner, Number of tickets bought by winner etc ...

And congrats to all this weeks winners!

I see some people can just buy loads of tickets in a heartbeat. How can i do that aswell? I'm tired of clicking those buttons and waiting for them. :()

Most the folks you see buying tickets very quickly are using browsers optimized for that purpose :p

Our server loads images directly from the CCP image server, which is slower to respond than our server, so disabling images in an out of game browser can massively speed up load times. Also another trick I've seen folks mention is to shrink your browser text, so you have more tickets visible on screen simultaneously :)

i mean the bonk/minibonk buttons. those atleast for me have a delay after clicking them. i'm quite happy with the speed i can buy tickets from normal blinks. sorry if i was unclear.
