Regarding Leprechaun Blacksmith & IGN

 Again sorry for late update, im off to bed now, and where is Bloodseeker!?

Hey guys,

Clearly, a lot of people are upset about the Leprechaun Blacksmith situation. I'd like to clarify a few points that I think will help everyone feel a lot better.

Apologies for not being more transparent, but this has all happened pretty quick so we haven't had much time to respond. There was some miscommunication internally that lead to a poor choice of words in the announcements - Leprechaun Blacksmith is NOT unlocked permanently for IGN prime subscribers, they simply have temporary access to him for the duration of the promotion (30 days). After which, he goes away from those accounts.

Those of you who purchased Leprechaun Blacksmith during his limited availability still have something special no one else has - you have access to him for all time. No one else has that. Those who got him "free" do not get to use him indefinitely.



As for the thread moderation (of which there has been a few complaints), it is important to note that the nature of many of these threads goes against forum policy. Our moderators were removing them automatically based upon our current policies - not in an attempt to "cover anything up." This is the first chance we've had to figure out what's going on, why the miscommunication, and set the record straight. Any troll threads that cross the line will get moderated, regardless of the reasons for the thread - in this case, the anger is totally understandable, but we still ask that people present themselves in a civilized manner.

The bottom line is that no one is getting Leprechaun Blacksmith for free. Those of you who bought him during the limited time sale last week bought life time access to him - and that's something that ONLY you guys have. We're not giving that away to anyone else.


EDIT: We realize IGN's website was misleading as well - that's because of the wording we gave them. We're talking with them to fix it.

EDIT2: Also, if you PURCHASED Leprechaun Blacksmith, and then use the IGN promotion, you will still have him permanently after the promotion
