The yearly xat tradition has once again commenced - traders and non traders as always merge into a community and find out all the information which occurs today ... "Black Friday".
It started at 7.00pm GMT on Thanksgiving Daywhere xat announced on Twitter the following -
As usual , Admins usually get warmed up for this event by adding a huge discount when promoting your chat.
However , at an unusual time of **10.00pm GMT** there was a new post about the real deal:
Black Friday Special: 1000 users selected for half price limited powers, including 2 Golds!
Here is how it works:
Click on the link which is shown on xats Twitter page.
Once redirected to that page , click the following link which shows there.
Follow the instructions via above.
If you were one of the lucky 1000 , click on the Power accept the Terms and Conditions and then accept purchase.
NOTE: It lasts 24 hours , any unclaimed prizes will disappear FOREVER!
If you were not the lucky user , it will say 'Sorry not this time'. You are only able to try once per ID. It will NOT change result.
Here is what it looks like when you havewon:
Although in theory it's a good concept, it has caused huge anger amongst users. Here are a few valid points that they've made -
Xat randomly chooses 1000 people . Some say that they automatically choose the Volunteers to win.
There are millions of unused / 'bot' accounts which could have been chosen to win.
Are all the users that had a chance to win all 'registered?'
Some people have won good prizes but are not sure on how to claim , some are also not able to speak English well.
The wonderful reactions have been spread across the chats by users updating their name and status to the following -
7.00pm GMT - NEW TWITTER UPDATE! Admins have released a new post on their @Twitter page, stating that 10,000 more people have been added to the 'lucky dip'. It also states that there are several powers to be won!
Here were the prices for the following powers listed in the screenshot above before Black Friday:
Hello. It's been around 6 weeks since I was last on Trade, but I've managed to take a look at what's been going on and as usual the 'Black Friday fever' has taken across Trade with several Powers having their price dropped, and as always, a few inparticular Powers have been the target.
Let's start off with that Black Friday is for those that aren't sure:
"Black Friday" is a 'Shopping' tradition which always takes place the day after Thanksgiving Day. It is an American "holiday" where many locals queue up to get the best possible bargains for products. It usually symbolises the first day for Christmas shopping as well. (Near December) Of course, as name suggests, it ALWAYS takes place on a Friday (lol?). However this occurs on the last Friday of every month (usually the 28th November)
As usual a week before tomorrow Powers start to drop. Here is a list of the powers which have been mostly affected: Purple Was: 24300 - 24500 xats Now:23200 - 23400 xats
So, the yearly question - What will xat do this Black Friday? Well, I have been taking coverage and we've had all sorts: Power releasing in stores , Power Auctions , gambling to win Powers 75% off , Powers re-releasing via Banners ... so of course we may be up for a recycled method this year, but who knows?!
Stay tuned for coverage regarding 2015's Black Friday ... not to scare anyone but who knows, it may just be the last coverage that this Blog does.
Also, we are looking for people to provide screenshots for this event. It can range from Powers releasing to people gossiping, anything is appreciated! All you have to do is either leave a comment here or find me on xat! /f89694323 Happy Thanksgiving! -Aisha
This post will be published in a week (when things settle down) . I am aware of my inactivity for over 3 weeks, and I feel this 'story' will make it worthwhile.
