Note: This game closed as “EA-Land” as of August 1, 2008. This game is no longer playable, and is more of a collectors item.
Yes! You read the title completely correct (that is, if you judged your eyesight)! I am giving away my copy of The Sims Online that I rescued from a thrift store a while back! I know many of you most likely played TSO way back then and possibly misplaced it, or threw it out. Or, if you own a Sims collection like I do but are far more serious about it than I am..NOW’S YOUR CHANCE!
It’s taking me a lot of courage to do this giveaway since it is was apart of my collection. But now, it can be yours! 🙂
Say you don’t believe I have the disks for TSO? Worried about this being a phony giveaway? Don’t be! 🙂 I’ll be shipping it with as much care as needed so it doesn’t break along the way.
Here’s proof that everything that came with it originally is still there!:
Now for the Terms and Conditions:
#1) This is a free giveaway of course! 🙂
#2) You must be years 13+ of age to participate. It’s too big of a risk to let that slide.
#3) Please leave me some way to contact you if you already haven’t on your profile! Leaving a name will simply not do and will require a redraw.
#4) You can enter all of these available options for your name to be entered. No, they are not mandatory (except leaving a blog post comment) to be entered.
#5) This is US ONLY. I’m very sorry to those who live internationally, but I have no way to send it to you.
#6) Leave both answers to the blog post question in a blog post comment! (REQUIRED). I know RaffleCopter doesn’t check, but if your name is drawn and you didn’t leave a blog post comment, that will require a redraw.
#7) Following/Liking my page or SimPrograms’ page is optional, but we would really appreciate it if you did!
Instructions:
Complete any of the available options and be entered the amount of times it offers. (Tweeting about the Giveaway is reactivated daily!)

CONTEST STARTS: June 8th at 12:01 AM EST I decided to open it a little early 😉
CONTEST ENDS: July 9th at 12:01 AM EST
You do know The Sims Online aka EALand has been gone for quite some time now… Who would want a useless box?
Then why will you only sell it to teens and up?
Loved TSO. I already own a normal edition as well as a chartered edition but good luck to all who enters.
The 13+ rule is actually justified, regardless of the game’s rating. You can get into trouble for taking personal information (ie. email or mailing addresses) from anyone under that age. That’s why there’s almost always the little “Yes, I’m 13 or older” box when you sign up on websites.
It serves as a collection item for people who are missing this in their sims collection.. or just want to own it for humble bragging. 🙂
I don’t want to get in any sort of trouble (I have no clue if I would be) by giving someone a game that they isn’t of their age group. Even if it is non-playable. It’s just precautionary. I doubt anyone under 13 will want it anyway lol
12+ should be fine, that’s what it was rated over here. Id love this in my collection D:
A good competition Journey. Wishing those involved the best of luck.
Thanks kiwi! 🙂
If used book stores that sell PC games, pawn shops and thrift stores does not care who buys the game even if the rating suggest it’s not for them, then neither should you. That and it’s technically a collector’s item that can no longer be used for it’s original purpose. So there’s you a loophole. 🙂
Oh dear… I own ALL of TS1 and its add-ons, TS2 and its addons, all of TS3 and its add-ons (APART from KPST, which isn’t here yet due to a stupid game company not DISPATCHING it!) apart from the Katy Perry edition of Showtime.
I would run through Newcastle (city in England) naked, with The Sims Online painted on my whole body. I would also make a plumbbob headband and wear that!
Darn sorry just read it’s US only. **cries**
Same here, shit happens.
I have 5 or 6 games I think and I’d sit and stare at it as long as needed xD
GREAT, thanks for the initiative Journey, I’d really like to join but as I’m going to stay in Brazil for the next 6 months I think it ain’t gonna happen 🙁
Now about TSO, hackers, I ask you, couldn’t you make a server to run TS Online again? It would be amazing
Wow. I really wish I live in US. T_T
Anyway, good luck for everyone! 🙂
Actually a group of Simmers were working on a project to bring it back, but EA and their lawyers quickly put a stop to it.
Would be hard also now that the servers are offline and there are no packets.
this is a pretty awesome giveaway for collectors!
I clicked to see the questions and hit ‘enter’ and it says that me answering the blog post is done, but i didn’t put my answer in yet. I’ve never used Rafflecopter before, what do i do lol
Ok haha. Well for #1, I’d say I own 29, and this one would mark for 30, so I really hope I get it cause I lost it, along with my original Sims game, a long time ago! And #2, I’d pay to play it again! Also, another quick question, if I do the other options, do I have a great chance of winning? You can contact me at @Lucky711 on Twitter too!
Yeah, RaffleCopter is a bit idiotic lol. All you have to do is post your answers down here in the comments area just like how you posted your comment. But it appears that everyone is getting a bit confused on that rule.. so I might revoke it and not make it required.
Yes, you do have a greater chance of winning because your name is entered into the raffle the number of times that certain option offers 😉 and tweeting about the giveaway is reactivated daily.
It’s in point of fact a nice and helpful piece of info. I’m glad that you just shared this helpful information with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
How cool would that be to win 😀
1 How many Sims games do you currently own?
Answer: I own all of the Sims 1 games, SimTower, SimCity 2000, Sims 2, Sims 2 University, Sims 2 Christmas Package, Sims 3, Sims 3 Showtime, Sims 3 Generations, Sims 3 Ambitions… Yeah, thats pretty much it.
#2 What crazy things would you do to be able to play The Sims Online again?
I never played The Sims Online, I didnt even know what it was as a kid (concidering I’m 15 atm) so thats kind of sad..
I do live in Sweden but I am still gonna enter the competition because.. well. I might not get the CD or anything but still. An .iso file of the whole disk(s?) would please me and then Journey can keep it for himself for either an re-draw or whatever ^_^
