Regarding teh Arena tournament!

#0 - Feb. 20, 2009, 12:35 p.m.

So Last year's tournament and apparently this years tournament as well EXCLUDES the danish population ..

Q u o t e:

1. Sponsor; Eligibility.
LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES: FINLAND, NORWAY, SWEDEN, GERMANY, THE UNITED KINGDOM

So basically here we have the entire northern Europe and countries surrounding Denmark yet STILL you guys do not think that its an idea to welcome the danish population into such events as Arena tournaments...

An explanation for this would be much appreciated :)

Thanks in advance for any replies.

We would of course prefer that all World of Warcraft players could to take part in the Arena Tournament, but unfortunately there are various laws and regulations in some countries that prevents players from those countries from participating. These laws and regulations usually involve, but are not necessarily limited to, the following factors:

Requirement to have purchased a copy of a game and/or pay a monthly fee to participate
Limits on the monetary value of the prize offered
Requirement that a contest sponsor (Blizzard, in this case) have a company presence within the borders of the country, state, or territory in which the participants reside

We will of course continue to work on including as many countries as possible in all of our contests and tournaments.
