I think the survey feature has been dead for years.
Anyhow, there are other ways to earn tc, some mentioned above.
You could win tournaments in-game, for either 500 or 750 tc (Only if you win the tourney). Or you could sell artwork, such as textures for the in-game part, signatures or avatars (for the forum).
Or you could try marketing, of course I think that would require quite an amount of tc.
Edit: You also have Game Master Tournaments, which are tourneys with greater prizes and random mods, of course there's more skilled players there as well...
