No, it's not. I spoke with customer service again and some sweet girl told me that there is only 2 people handling the beta key distribution. Just...2....people....
Imagine the barrage of emails and orders that they are getting. Day of beta there was over 1,000 people on the beta boards and over 1,000 on mmorpg.com the night they released the beta keys.
C'mon, I'm not dogging gstop, they are doing their best. Look, I went to 2 local stores and I called 2 stores in the ny area and one being MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. Now I live only 15 mins out of nyc and if it's not there, it's nowhere, anyone from NY will tell you. Ands none of them knew anything, maybe it's a new yawk thing. But they were helpful enough to get me to call customer service.
I want to thank everyone for their help, my key is on the way and if I don't get into asmo beta, oh well. I'm buying the game no matter what in september. It's not like I'm never going to play aion, perosnally I'm more concerned right now on getting into the champions online beta.
Anyone hear anything on that?
Online key emailing distribution system is automated, so it's nice to just do that, screw the lame stores.
Well, either that girl from customer service straight lied to my face or you don't know what you are talking about. Neither make me happy.
I went up to gamestop to preorder also, sadly the guy working there had no clue what I was talking about, he eventually looked it up and had an idea. So after I put the money down he was basicly done with me, I had to ask for the beta key, he had no clue they were giving them away. If I were a customer at that gamestop I'd be upset to get home and find out I didn't get all that I was supposed to get with my pre order purchase.
Pre-ordered my CE online from GS the next day got my codes. Will never go "in-store" online is the way to go
I have to agree, I just hope there isn't a special CE beta key, because I know he didn't give me that. If the special items are just from the key that comes with the key then I'm set.
Anyone know what was up with the huge box you get for the beta key? All that just to open it up for a creditcard sized piece of plastic with the key on it.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

Where are you guys finding out about the next beta events?
Will the old beta client work for the new beta etc.?
Thanks.
