New In-Game Promotion U.S. Only
Pex explained tonight on SOE's official forums why the new in-game promotion for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is only available to registered users of the United States:
The Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs promotion is intended to be U.S. only. The reason for this is purely legal. The quest and in-game events are technically promoting a product that is outside of the Free Realms world. For that reason there are a number of restrictions placed on us.
It would be much easier for us to have made the quest available to everyone, and we wanted to do that from the outset, but it wasn't something we were able to have due to international marketing and advertising restrictions.
We do feel bad that some players will not be able to participate in this particular quest. I will make a suggestion for future promotions such as this one that a comparable quest be added so no one feels left out.
