Get a free Snowy Owlbear Creature Companion!

It did for me. Got mine on all three servers I logged into.

Yeah, the way it works is that it'll send the certificate to the first character you log into on a particular server. You'll double-click the certificate to add it to your Companion Stable, at which point it'll be available for all characters on that server. If you log into a different server, the certificate will be available on that server as well, on the first character you log into on that server post-code.

Is there an option for those who opt out of social media? Facebook has a HORRIBLE track record of violating personal privacy and I refuse to promote such an organization.

I just made a new throw away Twitter account. Turned off all notification, so it doesn't send any e-mails to the address I used to sign up with. Used it previously when they were trying to get likes to discount Haunted Halls. This is the first time I've used it sense.

What am I missing?

The facebook page tells me to go to "myaccount.turbine.com" and input the code I recieved, however when I go to turbine.com I get redirected here, and I can't find a place to input the code.

[Cleanincubus]

You put it in the Activate Product Key box. Should be directly below the "You are logged in as Username...", and right above the "DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE™ Subscriptions" box.

Because you went to the wrong place. You want to go to "myaccount.turbine.com", not just "turbine.com".

Specifically, https://myaccount.turbine.com/index.php

Ah, that was exactly what I needed! Thanks!

I always wonder why a company would give more favoritism to people on 3rd-party sites than to the loyal customers right on their very own site.

It's a lot of work, but Owlbear companions are cute, so I guess I'll go create a fake Twitter account, and a corresponding Offerpop account, get the companion, then delete the Twitter account afterward. Though it's not clear how I even CAN delete the Offerpop account...

What exactly is it that Turbine gains by making me go though these 3rd-(and 4th-)party shenanigans? And you have to PAY the Offerpop people run this for you?

You know, you could just post a free companion offer right here on your very own DDO Forums next time.

Umm.. Why can't you just accept the gift, and say "Thanks"?


BTW, Thank you For the gift guys.

If I have to work so much for it, it's hardly a "gift".

They're making it harder than it needs to be, on both me and on themselves.

[DrakeFury]

Thanx, got mine no problemo.

[apacheizm23]

Thanks.

Took me under 1 minute too get the gift. If you don't have a FB account than yes it could take a few minutes to make one.

Your website doesn't like Chrome. The 26 character code works in IE, getting hyphens formatting it.

I just did the whole process in Chrome (Version 39.0.2171.95 m) and it worked just fine. The Twitter link was a series of numbers and when I pasted it into the redeem code at it placed in the hyphens for me without a problem. Then as soon as I logged in on a toon I got this message, "(Loot): The following is now in your inventory: Snowy Owlbear Certificate." Which I found interesting, as I do not recall the loot prefix before.

i don't like how they seem to think the Facebook and Twitter community is more important then us. at least they didn't ask us all to shop at a Sony store.

[Cordovan]

I know some folks tend to be skittish about social media, and that's fine, not trying to convince you of anything. That said, I did want to say that the information collected by Offerpop is used to manage the campaign. For example, to get us reports on how many codes were used, how many new likes/follows we've received, etc. There should be no posting on your behalf, nor email solicitation as a result of you agreeing to the terms of the giveaway.

/facepalm

I thought it was a free owlbear summon, not a pet. failure on my part lol.

Along these lines you can also agree through Facebook, get your pet code, then immediately go into your Facebook settings and remove the Offerpop app from your profile.

[Dagolar]

Please clarify.

When I click on the link on the facebook page, I get a popup from Offerpop saying it wants:
My Public Profile
Friend List
Email Address
Birthday
Current City
Likes

I click on Cancel.

The website now says it wants only my Public Name from my profile

If all it wants is my name, that's Fine. If I am giving all that other info, NO WAY.

Please clarify what I am actually sending to offerpop.

Thanks!

Please note, [and I'm under the assumption that this hasn't changed since I worked with Facebook App Development, considering every App still asks me for it], this is a default message that all Facebook Apps ask for.
This is on Facebook's end, and it's a simple on/off switch. Facebook doesn't have an option to add an app to your account without allowing it access to the entirety what Facebook deems 'basic information'. There's not, for example, a way for Facebook to add it to your account, giving it the account permissions that entails, but denying it access to X and Y of your 'basic information' block.

Think of it like giving someone the key to your house, but then having another locked door leading to any room outside of the first one. Facebook gives them the key to that entry room, and doesn't say "Oh, but you can't touch THAT", pointing out the sofa and china cabinet. At the same time, you're not giving them a key to anything further in.. which, unfortunately, seems to just contain 'permissions to post on your wall'.

This setup is one of the things that gets Facebook all that privacy backlash that it's gotten over the years.


Do note, many of us- though I stopped caring, personally- do have secondary Facebook accounts specifically for special offer use. Facebook never verifies any sort of personal information for its apps, so you can make a completely BS account and use it solely for Apps. This should help alleviate any privacy concerns you may have.
