Damn, that's a shame... apparently I didn't get one.
I was one of the first too! And I had the highest specs that they had available for putting in the options...
Ah well... just gonna hope that it'll magically change by tomorrow or Friday, otherwise I'll just wait till release... sort of keeps that "Christmas" feeling to it anyway. The games just seem better when you've been waiting for them for a while and you finally get it! I fear I'd lose interest too quickly if I played this... then again it's only the weekend, might just give me a stronger thirst!
*Deep Sigh* Nothing for me...well, I'll keep a bit of hope until Friday night. I assume though that I didn't make it after having checked the link posted earlier. I just get Conan's main squeeze telling me I'll be notified on the 16th if I get in.
means im still in the running for the next 2 days? think the chose like 5k out of so many today.. then do another 5k out of so many tomorrow and so on?
no it chose everyone, i think they are just emailing people 5k at a time which is why i didn't receive my email yet. If it says you have not been chosen i think it means your out of luck for the weekend pvp unfortunately.
thats not what the mods on the aoc forums are saying... and considering all the threads they have deleted...
Yes, lots of unhappy peeps there. It seems the tech testers got the royal shaft, they arn't invited. Some have gotten 3-9 hrs game time in the last 6 months(Been signed up and following the game for years.) Then here is Gamespot giving 15k people close to 100 hours of gameplay for signing up last week.
No email here. Who told Funcom it was fun to tell AOC vereran board members to expect a beta key and not give them one...have a prayer to the gods contest where only 200 people out of over 4000 entrys got a key...and now some mysterious process selects some people for keys.
Doesn't say anything about an NDA in the email. I'm sure after you sign up at Funcom however it goes into effect. ~Hairysun~
There isn't going to be an NDA for the gamespot promo.
I believe there is an NDA for this weekend. Oh and for those of you that are just getting the blank white box at the posted link. There's still hope, I was getting that when I clicked on the link, then I got the email and now it's not a blank white box anymore.
I wish there was a test or something that you had to pass to apply for a key. There are so many unworthy people out there...and some of them got in the PvP beta.
Hold on, we have to download all 4 of them if we win?

Strange way to sell potential subscribers.

Their servers are getting thrashed, it may actually take a couple days to download.
No key here.
Maybe we Europeans dont get them anyways, as usual. ><
People don't ask questions to get answers - they ask questions to show how smart they are. - Dogbert

No problems here, dl'ing at about 600-900 kb/s.
