Anyone know how long it took yesterday from 'contest' end til when they posted the link to redeem the codes? I feel like something is wrong since the link hasn't been put up yet!
Yesterdays keys went in 15 minutes, and todays keys went in 4 minutes.
Not sure if I've misread but I think they mean the link to claim the VIP keys. Camping that link feels almost as a bad as camping the news feed lol
Ahh...well,all you need for that is patience. No biggie.

Yeah, they put up the link for those 100 people to claim the VIP key. Now waiting for that!
You do not need to camp for that link. You will not lose your key. If you qualified for a key in either today or yesterday's giveaway, please check this link to claim your key.

It seems to me like you all think it is your right to a fair chance at a beta key. These keys are being given away FREE by mmorpg.com and allow you FREE access to ALL of RIFTS betas. You are paying neither "company" anything therefore why is it that you feel that you DESERVE more than other people to benefit off either of these companies charity? Sure if you paid mmorpg.com a sum of money each month, then it could be said that the site owes you something, perhaps if you'd given thousands of $$ in donations to RIFTS then you could perhaps deserve a key. Instead mmorpg.com has provided you with a free website containing up to date game information and a free forum, charged no one anything, you guys have happily used the website and forum to a large extent and now when they host a giveaway you all complain as if mmorpg.com owes you something and that they deserve to make it fairer for you. Let me put it this way, mmorpg.com and RIFTS don't owe anyone here anything, so to speak, what they are doing is in a sense charity therefore don't be arrogant enough to think that you deserve more of a chance than anyone else, it is all simply a gift that you might have a chance of obtaining and if you don't obtain it then it's not like you'll have lost anything! /RANT (I do believe I just repeated myself a few times )
I don't think I am owed anything, but I DO think giving away beta keys and then only have a CHANCE for beta is misleading. Don't hand away keys if you don't have place for someone. It's like selling 1000 theatre tickets for a theatre which has 500 places. It's just not right. And on top all too often we Europeans are either shut out entirely from betas or get a chance 2 days before launch or such. Except they aren't selling anything and you aren't buying anything. It is like giving away 1000 theatre tickets for a theatre with 500 seats where you want a specific audience allowing you to pick and choose 500 from those 1000 who you think will benefit you. They don't want kids who will login and play a few hours then post leaks all over the internet without a single bit of feedback or bug finding. A ticket is a ticket, no matter if you get it for free. If you have 500 seats you give 500 tickets, not 1000. Period. Everything else is a scam.
Not a scam if you never payed for anything.
Oh snap...there I go...using that logic thingamagigger.
Read the post, they have 500 keys to give away. Day 1 involved 100 keys. Don't you think they would not have also EU friendly times planned for the remaining 400 keys...... you would have had point if they gave away all 500 keys, now you are just a whining kid.
I bet you are from the US.
Nope Europe and I was able to be the 8th poster I could whine with these kind of contests too. It is not fair to people who will work the nightshift in Europe. I can never win a giveaway that is during "normal" office hours, because I'm sleeping. Anyway we Euro Trash had our own giveaway today and those 100 keys were handed out within 8 minutes. My girlfriend is now upset because it was posted at her scheduled "toilet"break and she needs at least 10 minutes to do number two. Now she is pissed, because MMORPG>com knows when she is on the potty and now she didn't have a key! Not Fair!
People just should have some patience. Hold your horses with the whining.
Heh what about those tons of people who already joined this site and only come for beta keys? like myself. a 24 hour aint gonna fix that, ´24h thing aint gonna fix anything, or it will work for a few days before ppl set up their accounts, since this place often has betas
So tired of the QQ because they didn't get everything instantly. It should be about luck, and i am sure i check this site more at 2AM then i do at 830AM so i would rather have your time.
