One of the Mods at gamergod.com (they also had a contest for the DnL beta for the same day) said this earlier today:
"I've been told by the PR guy for NPCube that he expects to have the beta keys tomorrow morning. If that happens, he will send them out to you all then. " (was here)
So maybe if they get them tomorrow MMORPG.com might get there set too. So hopefully tomorrow.
Has anyone heard anythign about the contest at mmhell? There hasnt been any word on whats up with their contest. The yhavent released any names, it would just be nice to know if they did select winners and they just arent publicly announcing them.
I'm not sure if I like the trend of giving away beta slots as "prizes". "Back in my day..." commencing now.
Used to be you were selected based on your system specs and experience. I can't get into any major beta tests now since my luck stinks. I know what you all are saying. You want me to stop crying. I'm not crying, I just miss beta testing, that's all. Congrats to those of you who won. Let us know how the game is once the no talking rule is lifted.
well i think that the interview dnl did here on moorpg.com said they had 2000 testers.. i dont think 20 beta accounts out of 2000 really implies that dnl are choosing their testers on anything other than expereince and specs.
1% of testers in a random prize draw sounds more like a profile raising gimmick as apposed to a serious tester selection.
This isn't the only site to give away accounts. Websites everywhere gave 20 accounts away. It is a good way to get people alking about your game. I'm really not mad about it. People are getting chances to be involved in beta testing. I had a blast doing it. I guess I had my time so I'm bitter. You gotta' do what you gotta' do to get you game going. I mean there is a million MMORPG's out there now so competition is immense.
Its really free advertising. They are getting more time on front pages/tops of forums at gaming sites. And in return they just throw out a couple more beta accounts. I mean they will have to pay bandwith, but I doubt going from 2000-2200 will mean upgrading to larger line.
I agree also with letting us winners know at least a timeframe when we will get them instead of sitting in the dark with this. Even if the answer is next week at least it will be something instead of you won but now just sit and ponder on when you will receive it.
Yes an update about the beta status off DnL is welcome but the 1st of february is a dev chat so maybe we will know a lot more when they post it on the official boards. I hope we will. Only 9 more days waiting

Id like to hear Any updates. Talk on D&L website say that one of the other contest sites had thier tickets same day.
So yes, any info from a admin would be very welcome. Especially with the weekend here.
Thanks.

Well if you look back at the other beta giveaway you can see how long they had to wait til they actually got their accounts.

If ya can't take the PvP stay out of the combat zones! Period!
YOU'RE DISRESPECTFUL.
Be glad you won the contest here, no one paid you to join the contest, you didn't pay anyone to join the contest.
Just wait god damn it, the betas usually get sent out few days after and up to two weeks after.
geez dude, come on. I won also, but I'm not bellyaching about it. I've never won a contest before, so maybe thats why. remember, patience is a virtue...
