ummmmm… what is a Game Time Card used for?
August 21, 2010 at 7:48 pm
The code on the cards can be added to your account and it’s like paying for monthly subscription.
So a 60-day card would get you 2 months subscription. After free-to-play launches, it will be 2 months VIP subscription.

Ah, then when I post a screen shot for this if i win can I give it to someone else? I have a lifetime account.

Of course you may. It would be your prize to use as you Iike.

By way of “minimal photo manipulation”, is a little text on the screenshot ok?
August 22, 2010 at 6:51 pm
Yes that would be fine.

How about a triptych? I have a sweet one i’d like to enter!
August 24, 2010 at 10:14 am
Yes, a triptych is fine.
To clarify: the main concern with photo-manipulation is when someone takes a real scene (say of the Prancing Pony) and it becomes so manipulated that there is no way you could have taken the screenshot in the game (adding Orcs drinking with hobbits & Men in the Prancing Pony).
A little text on the photo or the triptych is perfectly fine.
