The top 2 winners were to receive exclusive Dragon Age items, in cooperation with EA, the game’s publisher. The winning entry was supposed to receive an exclusive G9 Logitech Dragon Age Laser Mouse; the second, a rare Dragon Age: Origins t-shirt unavailable in stores and whose copies were given out only in a special BioWare event.

The contest sounded simple enough so I decided to join. My contest entry, which I wrote and thought of very carefully read:

Dear GreyWardens,

I desperately need your help with my plight(not the blight). When I’m not slaying darkspawn, I play mostly RTS (Warcraft III) and oh boy, I’m very competitive at that. Just imagine all the keyboard mashing and mouse clicking (high apm, actions per minute) and you’ll picture the state of my mouse and keyboard. Their age do not help either — my keyboard is turning three and my mouse about two. The left click button of my mouse has started to deteriorate recently, requiring me to click harder before it responds. I need a new mouse.

StarMars,
desperate gamer

Several days after I posted that on the comments section of the contest page, I received an e-mail from the post author. Guess what! I won the first prize. So I sent them my postal address and additional details and what-not.

Two weeks had passed and I still had not received my prize. I was beginning to think that the contest was one big April Fool’s joke since the contest was posted on March 29. I contacted GreyWardens.com on Twitter but all they said was “finalizing everything…”.

I haven’t received anything up to now. The contest post still reads: “Finished! Win An Exclusive G9 Logitech Dragon Age Laser Mouse. Update: The contest is over. Thanks everybody for participating. We will announce the winner very soon.” Where the prizes went and whether there was a real contest or not — I have no idea.
