I got my 1st place prize from nexon... kind of - Retalion - 2008-07-16

Well, almost 3 weeks after winning the May Web Event for the Dell XPS computer, I finally got it today. However, there are some "problems".

1. I cant find the monitor
2. I cant find the Maple story t-shirt that it was supposed to come with
3. I had to pay $53.29 for custom fees (not nexon's fault but..., yeah

The package was 60 pounds and the box was so big I almost had trouble getting my hands around it to bring upstairs.

That being said, there are two scenarios to consider here:

1. The monitor and t-shirt have been mailed but have not arrived yet.
2. The prize didnt come with a monitor (and the t-shirt is missing I guess?)

No. 1 would make sense as the package is already 60 pounds... think how heavy it would be if a monitor was there too. The fact that the t-shirt (which was definitely part of the prize) isnt here too makes me think that they're not done shipping (though it might be me being optimistic).

No. 2 is possible as well I guess but then my question is, "WHERE IS MY T-SHIRT" D: (I promised friends I'd wear the t-shirt if I won and they'd never let me forget that, haha).

With all that in mind, Im wondering what you guys think and more importantly, should I go buy myself a monitor tomorrow morning or should I wait to see if a monitor arrives? Im planning on emailing Nexon about it tomorrow (what email would I send it to?) but they're sometimes sketchy when it comes to returning emails so what happens if they dont reply? How long do I wait before getting a new monitor (My other available monitor is 8 years old... Ive had it since I was in grade 6)?

Thanks for the "advice" that I'll get here and I promise, if/when I get the t-shirt, I'll post a picture up here with me in it (probably the only time I'll wear it, lol).

Blog visitors, too bad for you guys. You'll have to wait longer to see a picture of me xD (lolCindy).

It's probably delayed like everything thing else they do lol.

but I think it's not suppose to come with a monitor and they just forgot the T shirt

o.o what was in the box???
I would write to customer service asking them for a tracking number for your prize, try googling nexon america email, you should be able to come up with something, I wrote them a while back about job application questions and they wrote back eventually.

Congratz on winning! ^^
Monitor isn't included in the prize. =P
It's just a dell computer without a monitor.

Lol, hopefully it's just delayed. Otherwise, technically you did get a computer.

I remember training with you and Jason (for like 10 minutes xD) at skeles... gratz on 4th job xD

The box had the tower (which is really heavy), a keyboard, a mouse, and a lot of cushioning. The box could've been smaller but... yeah >_> I guess they wanted to make sure nothing breaks

Sorry Jackk. They accidentally sent the shirt to me.
No, you cannot have it back.

Being Nexon, I'm going to have to agree with the above poster and say that is your complete package. Most of the time Desktops include the monitor inside of with the keyboard, mouse, and tower. I suggest emailing Nexon just in case, Because your shirt is also missing. I first suggest posting on the Nexon forums, most likely hime will reply as to where you can email your problem.

Should've looked at the packaging more carefully. No monitor was included, which means I have to go buy one tomorrow >_> Still doesnt solve the question of the t-shirt though. I guess I'll give the forums/nexon an email tomorrow.

Btw, for those wondering about the specs...

Windows XP Professional (5.1... whatever that means. All I care about is no vista!)
Intel Core 2 Duo 3 Ghz Processor
3326MB RAM
500 GB hard drive (least I would think its 500... I have 461 and there's some stuff that goes into formating and stuff)
NVidia Geforce 8800T 512 MB video card

Im not much of a computer person so Im not sure how good/bad it is but... yeah.

Wow it came with Windows XP. I don't know much about computers but you gotta trust that the computer is nice enough to run MS and be able to boss lag-free (or with minimal lag depending on your internet). Isn't that the main purpose of a computer anyways? Play MS and boss without lag.

It came with windows XP but it has a vista disk should I choose to upgrade to Vista (err... no thanks xD). Hopefully you're right about playing MS without lag. Server's down right now so I cant check but I will when it comes up (and go sleep afterwards).

That computer will run pretty much any game out right now at maxed settings.

Kinda surprising coming from Nexon.

They probably installed tons of spyware / malware before they shipped out it.

100% true cause thats just good marketing sense... install maple, install walmart adware (dell is partnered with walmart), install dell adware, install etc. adware send out and watch the money come back
