Last week I announced a really simple little contest to give away a double handful of Blizzard authenticators. All you had to do was leave a comment and let me know what region you’re in and, if you won, give me your physical address so I can send you the authenticator.
I divied up the entries into three regions and drew random names for each region. Without further ado, here are those random winners.
In the US region:
- Ashley
- Drayk
- Noor
- Razzy
- Rock
- Wolfwings
In the EU region:
- Phool
- Sevil
- Zinbolf
And in the Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America region:
- Asliasa
- Jesswyn
- Lazz
I’ve e-mailed all the winners, so if you see your name here and you haven’t gotten an e-mail from me, let me know! I want to get those authenticators out as soon as possible.
Some interesting statistics:
- There were a total of 69 entries:
- 30 entries in the US region
- 14 entries in the EU region
- 15 entries in the AU+ region
This worked out exceedingly well in terms of how many authenticators I wanted to give away. Roughly 1 in 5 entries won an authenticator, which I think is pretty good.
By the way, the reason I gave this little contest such a grandiose name is that I’d like to continue it on a regular basis. Maybe not every month and maybe with as many authenticators each time … but slowly, slowly we can whittle away at the authenticator-less population.
(I’m also hoping that it might catch on and we’ll see other blogs — or maybe even the big sites like WoW Insider — pick up the idea and run with it.)
Anyway … a big thank you to everyone who entered. And a huge thank you to everyone who reads this little blog. I love you guys. I wish I could give you more stuff.
We love to read you!
It´s a great gesture to run this kind of events :)
Thanks for Blogging Mania. It’s nice to have a blog that is a bit more “human” (Orcish?) than some of the other websites out there. :o)
Wohoo! Thank you for helping protect my account! :D
Aaah, I’m one of the winners and I was so insanely excited I actually logged in just to squee about it in /g. I’ve been so insanely worried about my account getting hacked but never had the money to get an authenticator… now I don’t have to! Thank you so much. <3
I won! I won! I won! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can’t believe I got so lucky. I entered the drawing on the outside chance that I might actually win. It’s still hard to believe.
Thanks again, Mania!
Congratulations to the winners !!
Awesome contest. Looking forward to some more cool pet news for cata.
I can’t express how much I thank you for this, Mania. :)
We love you too Mania, it’s rare that we see this kind of support from a blog :D.
I hope you’re not footing the bill for all this. Does Blizz at least cover the cost of the hardware?
I didn’t ask them. I don’t figure it would be all that much money, and I’m happier spending it on authenticators than letting my husband buy more console games he won’t bother to play.
I can’t believe I won either, Rock! You took the words right out of my mouth. Thankyou Mania! Your wonderful <3 :D
Grats to all who won! Woot!!
I didn’t enter because I already have one and the peace of mind it gives you is right as soon as you get it set to your account.
And the Corehound pet is actually cuter than their bigger friends! lol

Grats everyone…
And thanks Mania. Even though I’m on hiatus from WoW right now, I still read your site.
Gratz to all who won =) And Mania, as it has already been said, it’s nice to read a blog that is a bit more “human”. Not to mention, it’s easy to navigate and it’s about our fave topic: PETS!
Lol, Mania. That makes this giveaway all the more impressive. Hopefully your husband agrees!
“I wish I could give you more stuff.”
Your gift to us is your continued love of hunter pets. Don’t stop!!

<3 :)
Recieved mine :D Thankyou so much Mania <3
Still no mail… anyone there?
Sevil! You’re the person who never responded to me! I wondered what happened to you.
I’ve re-sent the mail. (I should have before now I’m sure but it slipped my mind.) Hopefully you’ll get it this time, but if not can you just e-mail me? All I really I need is your address.
