What did Italy do to earn such a fate?

What did Italy do to earn such a fate?

Almost certainly it has something to do with Italian legislation, which would either completely prohibit contests, lotteries or sweepstakes like this, or otherwise make hosting one unnecessarily hard or expensive.

There's no reason for them to exclude Italy "just because", since that list of countries is so small.

I found online that Italian sweepstakes must hold all their participants' data on Italian servers, which probably makes international contests impossible to run. But it could be some other law too, I don't know the specifics

#MSIxWorldofWarcraft Ragnaros kill and nzoth HC mythic were the most intense and memorable 😁

Oh and we're not going to attach any pets/mounts to purchasing this? Incredible.

Cool. All info except one little detail. The cost seems to be missing.

That's because this isn't for sale. It's a social media campaign involving a sweepstakes.

At least, that's how I interpret this post...

The same video card without the Warcraft branding is $650 US on Amazon.

Bought this exact model in June for $899 CAD. Has a little anime girl on it instead of the WoW logo lol.
I'd assume its about the same price.

Crying in 12gb vram.

How about they sell them instead? I saw the article heading and I was ready to give them my money since I want a new GPU anyway. Would have been cool to just purchase instead of being a random lucky winner.

That being said, my favorite epic memory would have to be the journey to the legendary staff Dragonwrath during the Firelands patch in Cata. It took several weeks to get and having a version of it in stages that upgrades over time was a really cool way to work toward that legendary version. Also seeing the event in Orgrimmar for the first time was pretty epic.

Either that or it's a Chinese exclusive purchase. When you go through the links you get to a page where it has a button "Where to buy." That link takes you to a page that just shows a bunch of store names in Chinese, with a drop down of their provinces. The page also has button at the top saying to "change to your local region" which boots you back to the the MSI main page with a splash screen for this promo.

So far this 20th Anniversary advertising campaign is just getting worse and worse...

I'm sure it's not, but... World of Warcraft Collector's Edition.... the OG? I'm sure it's TWW: CE, but a chance for one of the original Battle Pets just upped the ante (if that's the case).

beautiful GPU guess way too many take part so there is no chance, im in the process of saving for a 4070 but wallets small... my MSI Gaming X 2070S now already 5 yrs old, time goes by fast.

I just play in a 1080p window in WoW on my 1440p 32", its big enough and the GPU only draws 50W average, silent and cool and better long term, and my power bill was brutal last year with 55cent per kWh

the 4070 would be even more power efficient over my 2070S i love that, thats why i save for one.

thing is i won already a gpu once on twitch (very long ago a 970gtx), no way i win another, chances are zero.

Figures. I just bought a 4070 Super to replace my 2070 Super a few months back. C'est la vie. Love my card, though.

This MSI store page seems to indicate it will be for sale in the future: https://us-store.msi.com/Graphics-Cards/NVIDIA-GPU/GeForce-RTX-40-Series/GeForce-RTX-4070-SUPER-12G-GAMING-SLIM-WOW?utm_term=pressrelease

But that could just be a mistake. It's too bad it's a 4070 super and not a 4080 super, doesn't feel worth it to buy a downgrade, even if it looks super cool!

Comment by Phamlol

My most epic battle is the battle my 1050TI is still fighting, from the facing of G'huun, invading Dazar'Alor, defeating the Old God N'Zoth, fighting Denathrius, Sylvanas, Anduin, the Jailer, Raszageth, Sarkareth and unto the peak of Amirdrassil to Fyrakk the Blazing, it has fought many battles and will fight many more until death! Zugzug forever my friends.

Totally need a 4070 to play wow ofcourse :D
It does look pretty cool though!

Comment by Cidrei

No comment on the quality of the card itself or the contest, but I'm a little amused that a "slim" graphics card still takes up two slots and comes with a support bracket that would require a third if you used it. It is barely smaller than a traditional 4070, and definitely isn't after the support bracket.
