After a full 24 hours of giveaways, requiring some tag-team lead work to ensure all day and night coverage, many pots of coffee, and many (no, really -- many) emails later, we wanted to make sure we listed all the people who won something on that very first day. (If we missed anyone in the listing, we sincerely apologize, but there was quite literally a small army of you!) Congrats to all of you!

Ah, Turbine. The MMO company that has the titles that make lore-lovers and tabletop players happy. For those of you who were around in the earliest days here at Massively, you'll be glad to know that we've finally gotten all responses back from our Turbine contests, and are pleased to be able to announce the winners in our Turbine giveaways! Each of the following folks won the goodies noted next to their names:

• A copy of Lord of the Rings Online went out to both TypicalJeff and Red
• Graz1026 and Gemki both landed copies of Dungeons & Dragons Online
• Jan and erthwjim got a copy of Asheron's Call each.
  
• Lord of the Ming and Robert H. managed to score fantastic Turbine t-shirts
• TypicalJeff got the love of the random number generator and landed a copy of the LotRO game guide to go along with the copy of the game he got. (See? you should enter every time! You never know what will happen.)
  
• Reverseshoe made off like a mad bandit, winning the highly coveted Lifetime LotRO subscription we were giving away!

A hearty congrats to all of our winners, and a reminder to everyone to be sure and white-list both massively.com and weblogsinc.com so you don't miss out on prize mails! There's nothing quite as disappointing as realizing too late that you missed a prize mail, and thus missed a killer prize. Don't let it be you!

More and more winners are replying to those ever-crucial emails, and the results are rolling in! That's right, we have the names of the winners from the two Age of Conan giveaways we did for our launch! For those of you who missed out, these two lucky winners have each landed their very own Ideazon Z-Board gaming keyboards! (Well, we couldn't very well give out copies of the game yet.)

So to end the suspense, we'd like to send out massive congrats to Twoworms and Excelsior for being the two lucky winners of the Ideazon Z-Boards! When they bring out the Age of Conan keypads, be sure to let us know how those work, eh? We suspect the extra edge in those fatality moves will be handy to have.

Again, if you haven't white-listed emails from massively.com and weblogsinc.com (that means put it in your "not spam" filter) then be sure to do so! We hate to have anyone miss out on a prize because they didn't reply in time.

So here we are, two weeks in from our official launch of Massively. You've had a chance to peruse our news, views, guides, and more. On the back end, we've been putting our staff through their paces, and we're glad to say that they've come out with flying colors. But today what we want to focus on, dear readers, is you. Each and every person has a different gaming love, homes that span from the Amarr Empire in EVE to the soggy swamps of Zangarmarsh in World of Warcraft. All of these virtual worlds are important to us because they're important to you. As such, we're spending today thanking you for bringing us into your online lives, and letting us share in your worlds.

For today's first giveaway, we are offering a monster video card for all your virtual world needs. That's right, one lucky person will walk away with an EVGI 8800 GeForce 320Mb PCI-E SLI-compatible video card. This card features a PCI Express x16 interface, 320 MB of RAM, and dual RAMDACs running at 400 MHz for faster refresh rates even at high resolutions. We haven't heard of a game out currently that this card doesn't scream through. And you could be the lucky winner if you're 18+, a U.S. resident, and otherwise acceptable under the official rules. Comments must be left by no later than 12:00 PM Midnight Eastern U.S. time on 11/19/07 to be eligible. You may enter once per day between now and then as well, so be sure to come back every day!

While all you need to do to be entered is to leave a quick comment below, we'd greatly appreciate your thoughts on the games we've been covering. Do you like the level of coverage your favorite game is getting? Are we missing some games that you think are fantastic? If you'd let us know, we'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Many, many moons ago, I remember getting a call from one of my best friends; he was crowing about this new game called EverQuest that he said I absolutely had to go get. After all, as he pointed out, not only was it a game (a common passion we share to this day) but it would give us a chance to "hang out" together despite the enormous physical distance between us. Thus began my passion for MMOs -- and EQ will always have a special spot in my heart as my first MMO love.

If you were with us earlier, you know that today is Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning day! Of course, as Mythic has been doing a good job of keeping information pretty tightly controlled, all we have for certain on it is what's on the official site. (We're working on talking to them, though.) The only things we can say with absolute certainty are that this is a hot, highly anticipated game with a great gaming property behind it, and that we're probably going to get our collective faces melted in PvP. After all, tabletop is where it came from, and there's nothing quite as much fun as quoting Summoner Geeks at your weekly gaming group while you enjoy getting your game on. (There again, maybe we're just showing our age...)

But nostalgia aside; for this giveaway we're offering up another hot Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. While this may help you fling Magic Missile (or the Warhammer equivalent) it sadly will not get you a Mountain Dew. All you have to do to win it, however, is to leave a comment below before 5:00 PM Eastern tomorrow (11/12), be at least 18+, a U.S. resident, and otherwise eligible under the official rules.

What are you waiting on? Get to commenting!

One of the things that we've been looking forward to in Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is the combat system. For those of you not familiar, it will involve different move combinations that in turn play out different animations. So it's not just smacking someone and seeing a number floating above their head, or watching a health bar drop. Instead, you'll smack someone (depending on localization, according to the Funcom devs) and watch an arm fly off! (There's also all the blood spatter, which isn't too common in MMOs.)

Of course, to pull off these killer gaming moves, it only makes sense to have a sweet piece of equipment to game on. So, for this giveaway we're offering up another Ideazon Z Board for your gaming enjoyment. You of course know the drill -- 18+, U.S. residents only, and all the other official rule stuff . Aside from that, you must also leave a comment between now and 4:00 PM tomorrow (11/11) with what kinds of things you'd like to see in the combat system. Do you like the idea of special combo animations, including fatalities? Should there be rag-doll physics, or is that better suited to the FPS genre where there aren't tens of thousands of people sending limbs flying up in the air all at once? (Do bunches of arms and legs flying through the air cause lag we wonder.) Let us know!

Massively's Massive Giveaways: Age of Conan, redux originally appeared on Massively on Sat, 10 Nov 2007 16:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Heading into our second week of Massively's launch, we would like to take some time to talk about some of the upcoming titles that have really caught our attention. As such, we have decided to declare today Age of Conan day, in honor of Funcom's upcoming MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborean Adventures.

Having been able to see the demo and get some hands-on with Age of Conan at Dragon*Con this year, we can honestly say that we've been looking forward to its release (and a chance to play it more) ever since. It was very obvious to us that the Funcom team involved with AoC is a group of gamers dedicated to putting out the best possible content they can. From the earliest parts wandering through the trees and villages, to later getting knee-deep in blood, the attention to detail is impressive.

That said, a game like this requires a prize equal to its potential. After all, you don't want to be playing AoC on a beat-up old keyboard that decides to die on you while you're mid-PvP. Thus today we're offering a prize that will help you get your best game on; an Ideazon Z-Board keyboard! One lucky winner (age 18+, U.S. resident, etc. according to the official rules) will walk away with this truly fantastic piece of gaming equipment just for answering this one question;

What are you most looking forward to in Age of Conan? (Well, okay, other than that Playboy spread about it.) Leave your thoughts before 12:00 PM Eastern time tomorrow (11/11) and let us know!

One of the reasons we think Fantasy-themed MMOs have been so big is just because you can do some truly wicked things that you just can't pull off in meatspace. Magic spells, teleporting from town to town, and those amazing costumes are right up there on the list of things we wish we had everyday access to in the real world. Of course, Guild Wars has all of those these nifty tidbits and more -- and without requiring 'rent' like life tends to.

For this featured giveaway, we're offering up another Guild Wars boxed set of all the games. If you haven't had a chance to check out GW, this is perfect for you. Of course, if you already have a copy of Guild Wars for yourself, why not enter anyway? You never know -- if you meet the requirements of being 18+, a U.S. resident, and have read the official rules -- you may just land a copy to give to a friend for the upcoming holidays. Just be sure to answer the following question before 4:00 PM Eastern tomorrow. (11/10)

If real life was an MMO, what class would you be?

We don't know about you, but lunch hour is one of the best times of the day. Why? Not only do you get to relax for a bit, but in our case, it's a great time to get some gaming in. Of course, some people will undoubtedly scream at us for having food anywhere near the computer. (At least you're not having to buy our replacement keyboards, eh? ;D )
