from what I understand about this giveaway, it seems to be less of a bonus for active players (like rewarding people for following on fb/twitter/etc) and more of a cheap advertisement seeing if any new players are enticed by the 'hey! free stuff! new anime game!' on this particular mmo browsing site.

because players that haven't played on the nutaku portal before wouldn't have any idea how valuable this girl is. not to mention the ad has "exclusive Astra Galus girl giveaway", so it can easily be misunderstood that this girl could be only achieved through this giveaway. (mmosite probably has done things like this before in the past)

all things considered, I think it's a pretty good idea on the part of nutaku to do things like this to acquire a larger player base.

that said, I think it's a bit dubious that there isn't any sort of rating/age gating marker on the ad. I know they have the SFW .com side, but kids probably shouldn't playing there either considering how easy it would be to find the .net side. However, I suppose that's a conversation for another time.


I personally wouldn't be upset if they did more shameless advertising through players if they gave decent rewards.
