    Try it, it works.

    Reposting this for those that haven't seen amid the flames. This is the best way to get the keys the instant they are up without having to sit at the pc if you do not want to.

    I am not sure if there is a nice way to tell you to get lost, so I am just going to do it without sugarcoating it.

     

    GET LOST TROLL!

    Why do you come to Age of Conan forums and troll all the time? Do you feel threatened by this game or something?

    You do know that over at you Darkfall forums people are paying 100$+ for the development of the game that has only few screenshots to offer. I am not judging them, but can you see the irony here?

    You are a sad person, and you should go out and find yourself a girl or something instead of stirring up trouble on both Darkfall and Age of Conan forums.

    You like Darkfall and thats ok. But do you not understand that by trolling both DF and AoC forums you are chasing away potential future Darkfall subscribers and you are only hurting the game you support (in a weird way I might add).

    Darkfall would be better without you, you are just giving it a bad name.



    You obviously felt threatened enough to write a long post. I simply stop people wasting their cash.



    No, your a troll. You already said the exact same thing on another thread. People don't have to play the beta, its not mandatory if they want to subscribe to Fileplanet to play it, I'm sure there grown enougth to make there own minds up.

    Just felt like dropping in here and giving my two cents.

    I've been a fileplanet.com subscriber now for a few years, so I didn't have a problem with the fee.  I do, however see how some people might be putt off by it.  There are, however, a few facts that need to be clear.

    1.Funcom is NOT charging for this; Fileplanet is NOT directly charging either, they are just opening it up tot he subscribers first.  I'm not sure about this game, but with Tabula Rasa on Fileplanet, the left over keys went to regular members after the subscribers had a chance at them.

    2. With all the people complaining about subscribing and only getting a chance to receive a key, I think something needs to be said.  THEY ARE GIVING THE KEYS OUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES EACH DAY, IN ORDER TO LET PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT TIME ZONES WITH DIFFERENT SCHEDULES GET A CHANGE TO JOIN.  They are giving keys out through the 31st, so I think everyone needs to calm down.

    I highly recommend everyone to download Comrade and use that to stay aware of the distribution of the keys.

    Why do you get so bent over nothing ya doofenheimer?  He just offered an attempt at being witty and you lose it.  You're even more of a troll.  Grow a sense of humer.  Some of you are some seriously uptight emos.  All over a game beta.

    And guys at least they're having an open beta so we don't just have to take a chance on buying it.  I guess I'm not crying about it because this is how it went with wow's beta and it was a decent game so I'm not finding it a problem funcom's using the same model.  Oh this just in: They recommend Comrade for getting your key notice quicker BUT it gather's all your gaming file information and sends it to FP for marketing purposes.  EEEEK!  /RUN AWAY SCREAMING  sheesh

    If you read his post history you will know what I'm talking about.

    Also the definition of troll seems to be lost on you as I am not one.

    Also my sense of humor is fine tnx! - I also don't know what humor has to do with all this.

    Come on ghoul31, it's about 100 posts about this on this forum saying subscribers aren't guaranteed a key.

    You forgot;

     

    3. There is a limited number of keys available. Subscription does not guarantee a key. So for those who are buying a Fileplanet subscription only for AoC, still risk not getting a key.

    EDIT:

    From the FAQ-

    11. Will there be a limit to the number of people who can play the Age of Conan beta?



    Yes, keys are limited and will be released on a first come first served basis daily. Key amounts will vary each day.

No thanks, I'll just wait for the 17th or wait til they start giving away keys to non-paid subscribers which they will probably do later on. They did that with Potbs too.  This is just a scam for fileplanet to make money and funcom doesn't care cause they get someone to manage their beta for them. If you don't like it then don't participate. If they don't get 50k suckers to buy into this then they will just give out the keys for nothing.

    WOw, $16? Really, hmmm....I paid $7.95 and got it just fine. So many people don't read the small print and think you have to sign up by the 3 month plan or get the magazines. Wrong, FP has always had a monthly membership. So I spent 8 bucks that could either possibly give me the time to upgrade my computer if necessary or realize I don't want to play and save me 50 bucks. I think its a good deal and seriously, 8 bucks for 2 weeks is not bad. Hmm 8 bucks is half a good drink at a bar, a movie ticket, dinner at Arby's, a quarter of a nice dinner, and is about 57 cents a day. I don't think that makes me a sucker at all.


    8 bucks for 2 weeks? Gee sounds like what you'd pay about for a half a month's subscription.  Half of you if you don't try the beta will be buying the game and giving them $15 for the first month anyway so just fork it.

    I think the beta giveaway is fine.

    Subscribing to fileplanet is worth it imho.

    And get comrade too, you get notified as soon as the beta keys are released, so you dont have to keep checking emails.

    Ok I stand corrected then you have to pay 7.95 for a 2 week beta. Thats the same rate as the game will charge for the retail version. If you want to know if your pc will run the game you could have either done what i did which was do the pvp beta or do 20 mins worth of research and read some reviews.

    Whats going to make you feel like a sucker is in a week when they start handing out beta keys for free because I've seen them do that several times in the past. Most recently with potbs.

    You NEED to download their comrade mod.   If you download it and keep it running in the background, you will get notices 3-4 hours before the regular email crowd.   Instead of having a .0002 second window to get in, it expands your window to about 15 minutes.

    I'm just saying I don't see how "age of pay-for-beta" warrents going on a mission over it.  He makes one a word comment and you write up a dissertation.  Knock yourself out though if that's your thing.

    I've been a Fileplanet subscriber for two years now, and I agree that it's worth the price.

    I got my AOC key this morning though -- I missed the first batch, but checked my email when I got into work and got lucky. ;)

    I am not on a mission here, and I already said that you should look into his post history and see that in the last 60 minutes he trolled every topic on AoC there is. I did not respond to that particular posts but about posts he makes in general and if you actually read more then 2 threads here you would see I am not the only one trying to stop his self destructing behavior.

    I am sorry I guess trying to remove trolls from these forums is not as widely accepted as I thought it is. I should just support that kind of behavior like you do! Knock yourself out if thats your thing!

    If you think about it that is all anyone does when they play an MMORPG.   These games are always changing throughout their product life and that is basically like playing to perpetually beta basically.

  • Xris375Xris375 Member Posts: 1,005

    I really feel for this guy:

    Fileplanet you really suck. I was a member years ago and have never really used any service like fileplanet on a paid basis, but a few months back I read several places talking about the fact fileplanet would more than likely have AOC keys before anyone else for their founders club members.



    So I go to the site read all this fluff about the founders club, and stupidly sign up. Once signed up I realize almost all the stuff on the founders club site talks about all you will get, but then once you join there is nothing there. Oh, sorry there are some "free" old downloads for games most of us bought a year ago happy GREAT VALUE GUYS! Oh, and the "free: subscriptions to your mags, so the higher circulation gets you more advertising revenue, man way to really push the boundaries.



    Now I see a few days ago I get an email saying the NEXT week you will start the beta key giveaway, today am I blown away to come home and find an email that it already started. WOW next week usually means NEXT week. Of course the keys are gone three hours later. Then I sit on the computer hitting refresh for 2 hours and I have a feeling at 10pm CST the will release a new batch. From 10pm CST to 10:05 it still says coming soon on second beta key set, then at !0:06 it says distributed - BULL S--T! How da-- stupid do you think we are? In 30 seconds the keys are all gone again. I mean I was hitting the key at this point ever 30 seconds. So now that all your sorry ass friends have their keys and your pathetic staff, that will no doubt be selling the keys they stole, when will the REAL beta giveaway begin for us normal folks? OH yea, IT WON'T because this is all some sorry ass lame scam to trick people into becoming members. Expect a complaint to the BBB on your sorry scam ass business practices. I WILL NEVER have anything to do with IGN again. YOU PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    FYI - When I went to cancel my new year membership, yea who gives a sh-- about losing the remaining months as it is apparent it is worth a da--, the first screen says oh we are so sorry to lose you as a customer tell us if there is a problem. We'll guess what boys and girls you click either of the 2 links on the page and they are both broken..... How great is that?????? You care so much the dam- feedback doesn't even work.



    Don't anyone waste your money on these low life SOB's. I hope they all rot in hell for their sorry ass lying ways.



    Yes your'e right I am BITTER, just like Obama said. Typical scam from the big boys to the little man happy



    And AOC guys I won't be dealing with your game, which I thought might be fun, just because of your dealings with these a-holes. Yeah guilt by association. And don't think there are rumors about some of your employees being the ones selling those early beta keys on site for $300 plus.

    Its funny how people react to Fileplanets use of "artistic licence" with regards to their Beta key adverts as if its something new.

    Fileplanet have been doing this for years.  It happened in Vanguard,it will happen again.   They prey on people's desires.  Is it Funcoms fault?  Nope.  Is it fileplanet's fault if they deliberately mis-word adverts.  Absolutely.  Should the MMO developers do something about it?  If they can it would give them good publicity.  Will they?  Probably not, because it's not their jurisdiction to dictate to another company how it advertises its offers.

    But, when all is said and done, they DO give away these Beta keys to their subscribers.  People do actually get them.  If people don't like what they see or get, then vote with your wallet.

    Btw....pay for everything you pay for online with your credit card, protection and chargebacks are your friend ;)

    You stuff "sausage" down your throat for breakfast? Next time leave the mustard part out.  Nobody wants to hear about what you grease it up with.

    You're right, the block button is used for silencing immature folk.   At least you're not living in denial.  Again.  If you're going to try to be funny, word your sentences appropriately.

    Sorry to the blockers :P

    I have subscribed to fileplanet for several years, I have gotten into plenty of their betas, and enjoyed the fast downloads.

    I got my AOC key day one, downloaded the 12 gigs in about 4 hours and am set up and ready to go into stasis till the 1st to play AOC.
