One of the things I was really looking forward to when I got back into EQ2 was the card game - Legends of Norrath.
On the bright side, I really like the game. Some of the in game loot cards are pretty cool. I like the interface, trading is well managed.
On the downside, I'm the sort of schmuck that gets hooked by a CCG and will buy cards by the case. Add that to the fact you can instantly buy these things and take instant delivery anywhere in the world and I'm like Elvis managing a McD's.
The point of the thread - the big attraction with the game is the online tournaments and promotion. Good fun, nice prizes, collectibles just for entering etc.
Nowhere does it tell you that some States and Europe are restricted from entering these tournaments. Robbings bastards. They'll happily sell you a few hundred $'s worth of binary cards, without mentioning they will be next to useless.
I believe that SoE have even managed to go this long without explaining this or commenting on it ? There are various assertions about this being due to gambling laws, but they have all been put forward by players and adopted as policy by forum goers.
Sadly the new expansion is out next week (19th) and I'll still buy a few cases (and, damnit, we Europeans get hit for an additional 17.5% tax).
For anyone interested, couple of links follow.
