So the only thing I got out of this entire thread, from beginnign to end, was, its not about how long/loyal people have been in this thread, or who got a key, and who didnt, its just a complaint about fairness.
So why, going through this whole thread again, from beginning to end, less than 1/2 way through this thread does it get turned into "I have been here since such an such a yr, and I got nothing, I want to be compensated for being a member, I want the key that was to be mine".
I mean seriously, you can go back and see where it turns into what everyone was argueing what this thread WASNT about.
No i didnt apply for a key and got one to write this, I didnt apply period, i rarely ever apply for contests, I just like the good reads now and then, but you can clearly see what this thread is really about:
"I have been here before you, and you, and you, and I should have been handed a key personally, and now im pissed"
You guys look like tools turning into children for having stood as low as you all have in fighting about how deep down you are angry you got beat out by anyone else period for a key for rift.
Once again someone is missing the point. I ll let you figure it out.

Would you be upset if they used only members from 3 months and prior and you still lost to a majority of people who have only been members for 3-8 months??

Thought you just wanted members who didn't sign up in the past several days. I understand it, but I still think if that was the case members with join dates such as yours would still argue they deserve a beta over someone who has only been around for a few months. I'm not saying you would but I'm betting someone will make that case since it's made daily on the Rift forums...

Wow up to 21 pages of people acting like MMORPG.com raped their mothers and burnt their houses down ove rnot winning a closed beta key to some short events of a game they have never played and may not even end up liking.Classic internet nerd rage as we've come to expect on internet forums.
Before I'm accused,no I do not have a VIP beta key to this game and yes I would like one but on the scale of things that concerne me it comes just under a land Shark attack happening in Mantibo Canada during winter.
I do not think I'm owed anything as a fairly active member of this site as I do not pay for it and am here voluntarily.Could the competition be run better?Maybe but it definately could be run worse or more discriminantly.But MMORPG is free to run competitions as they see fit and a slim chance is better thna not being offered a chance at all.

People who have just joined in the last few days, obviously to just get a key, is my problem
As is mine. I have absolutely no problem with even those that signed up a week before the contest or those that never post in the forums but at least are members.
I'm not going to dwell on this any longer as I find it to be a waste of time, but I'm willing to bet that over half of those that just signed up to this site in hopes of winning a beta-key will not return after this contest is over. Hell, I might even be willing to go as high as 70-80% of those recent signups. The problem I see is simply the following:
The majority of those interested in participating in these types of betas are not your casual MMO fans, but those that frequent the MMO scene and it's not like MMORPG is new to said scene and needs a reason to establish name recognition.
MMORPG isn't exactly "under the radar", by any means! Run a google search on "MMO". This site is the FOURTH listing from the top, according to my results. Chances are, if you follow MMOs, you've heard of MMORPG by now. The site either offers something you like or it doesn't interest you, plain and simple. This is the information age where most people can't get information fast enough, yet you expect me to believe that someone that is truly interested in what this site has to offer (other than just the free key) hasn't at the very least already signed up to receive updates regarding their favorite games.
Most that follow MMOs and are searching for a site that provides them with the relative information that a site like this does, surely would have found MMORPG and have signed up by now if it were indeed for reasons other than to just get a beta-key and split. So, based on that logic, if they are not already a member, then what is keeping them around after the keys are gone?

As is mine.
And it seems this is the point that some people keep skipping over. I've been an active member here for a long time but in NO way do I feel entitled to receive anything for my continued patronage. Although it would be nice to just have a slightly better chance to win a giveaway like this over people that registered the day of the contest.
"There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer."
I got myself 4 VIP keys. none of them from MMORPG. you guys just didnt look hard enough when the time came, google was your best ally , there was bunch of under the radar competitions. very easy ones

Do you not see the paradox of those statements?
Personally I have zero problem with any legit winner. I don't care if they were here from inception or 2 minutes before the contest. My only issue is with people winning multiple keys (by multi accounting or by using the same acct). Mike B said they were filtering those... so all is well as far as I'm concerned. RIFT looks like it's gonna be a hot game. 100 keys went in 1:23... even if all new folks were eliminated it would have gone in what? An extra 20 seconds?

Well I am not sure how he got 4, but some sites gave them away through email which did not get sent until the following day. SO if you happened to get a key from mmorpg and then one from the email that is 2 vip keys. It is not to far fetched to think the other 2 were gained through similar means.
On the other hand, maybe he is a good friend and is simply getting keys for ppl that are unable to get them themselves due to work and what not. Maybe that is what alot of you should have considered..... but easier said then done, I know.
I would just like to thank mmorpg for doing this even though a lot of people are getting upset. It was very nice of them to organize such a giveaway.
This is only a dig, an obious call-out on the admiration to how the give-away was organized.
So, This mentality has Admiration for what amounts to organizing an announcement that 100 tickets are available between 1 and 3, and its first-come-first-serve to anyone.
Those organizational skills are admired? Alrighty then.
Not at all. I said "it would be nice". I didn't say I expected it to happen or that it is somehow necessary for me to continue visiting the website.
I admit I was a bit upset when the 2nd day keys were gone in less than 2 minutes and over half of those were given to people that registered the 1st day of the giveaway, but I'm over it now and won't even bother trying any more.
As for the guy who asked why I didn't go to a different website? Well that would be pretty hypocritical of me to go to a different website that I never frequent just to try and get a beta key, now wouldn't it?
"There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer."
It was stated that Alpha is where the real testing is going on, and Beta is mostly a stress test/marketing thing. I'm a huge Rift fan, and hoping it becomes my next 5 year MMO, but I'm starting to wonder if both Trion and the MMO sites that are passing these keys out are starting to have second thoughts as I have yet to see a "positive" thread about giving these keys out on any website or media platform.

Furry Inc.
but other than that, yeah tough tities people. work hard on the next give away :P
If you don't mind me asking, why did you get 4 VIP keys?
to be honest , I never thought it'd be that hard to have one VIP key and people picking 4 keys probably didn't help either
