<div align="left"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/02/soes-living-legacy-campaign-gives-you-2-free-months-in-eq-and-e/">For those of you who haven't heard</a>, Sony Online Entertainment has handed out 60 day subscriptions to all former <a href="http://everquest.station.sony.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">EverQuest</span></a> and <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.everquest2.com">EverQuest II</a> </span>subscribers -- even trial accounts!  The whole initiative is part of this summer's <a href="http://livinglegacy.station.sony.com/">Living Legacy marketing campaign</a>, which will be including events, items, <a href="http://legendsofnorrath.station.sony.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Legends of Norrath</span> cards</a>, experience weekends, and much much more!  This is all leading up to the new expansion pack that will be released for <span style="font-style: italic;">EverQuest II</span> later on this year.<br /><br />So, this obviously begs the question, are you going to go back to your "<a href="http://www.tomsgames.com/us/2007/05/15/game_addiction/page3.html">EverCrack</a>"?  Is this aggressive marketing campaign enough to pull your hands away from the recently released <a href="http://community.ageofconan.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">Age of Conan</span></a>, <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><span style="font-style: italic;">World of Warcraft</span></a>, or other favorite MMO?  With all of these incentives being offered, and so much to do inside of <span style="font-style: italic;">EverQuest</span> each week this summer until August, will you find a need to go back to your old habits?<br /></div>

Full details of the new program <a href="http://www.burningsea.com/page/au/giveaway">can be found here</a>, however you may need to log in to view the page, so here's an excerpt : "We believe that the best way to 		introduce new players to a game is by introducing them to people who 		know it best: the fans. We want a cadre of experienced players to create 		new characters and get in on the ground floor with their fellow 		Australians. You won't be required to do anything more than play 		<em>Pirates of the Burning Sea</em>!"<br /><br />As an incentive for being involved in the program, the appointed "ambassadors" will have their subscriptions paid up for an <em>entire year</em>. Unlike the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/13/pirates-of-the-burning-sea-free-in-australia/">free account program for Australians</a>, you will need to be specifically chosen after applying to get the years free subscription, and applications will close on the 7th of March. The requirements state that you must be a current subscriber, and reside in Australia (duh). If you meet the criteria, you may as well apply and see if you can score a year of free <em>PotBS</em>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/02/24/potbs-announces-australian-ambassador-program-offering-years-fr/">PotBS announces Australian Ambassador program, offering years free game time</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:00:00 EST.
