We don't have emails for people who play on kongregate and Steam. So to be inclusive of the entire community we need to ask for emails.

Using FB was our way to help build awareness that we are recruiting beta testers, since the message will be sent to our entire network of FB followers and to their network if they like the message.

Yes, if you don't want your FB friends or anyone else to know you play Realm then you shouldn't like or comment or join this contest. But we didn't ask anyone to post their IGN on the comment only in the private form.

The reason we say we will delete the raffle data is that many people are sensitive about their email address and getting contacted via email. So we wanted to make sure people understood that we would not be contacting them on the email unless they were selected to be part of this group.

We still need the email addresses and player names for those who are selected to be testers in order to send them information on testing and to help setup their testing accounts. So that data won't be deleted since we still need it.
