Not knowing where they would be announced I was trying different pages when the old page suddenly popped from 0 keys left to 498. Clicked "get key" and the next second it was down to 320 or so. Crazy how fast they went.
Originally posted by Ppiper wow, that's pretty fucked up, but then this is MMORPG.com, did you expect anything else?
Super fucked up if true, there was no notification of any kind to let us know it would be the same page. I've been watching this page for almost an hour and half and this is ridiculous if true. Complete bullshit.
Was lucky enough to guess which page they would randomly put the keys up on (bunch of fucking bozos running the giveaway), clicked with 336 keys left, did not get my key.

Only thing keeping this trash site alive is giveaways. Surprised that blizzard would even give this site keys when there are so many better alternatives.

After this I hope they never do and I will post the same thing on WoW's forums that they should not do business with MMORPG.com also.
I just read about this today and was about 18 minutes late, but I guess it didn't matter keys were gone within seconds it looks like. I came to a down site and had to F5 a million times. Would have been great to actually test out this expac. Hmm, I guess back to GW2.
It'd be nice to have an admin fill people in on just what the hell is going on. If the first batch of keys were posted, half of people who've been waiting had no idea.
You guys believe what you want to believe, but these guys aren't trolling. You missed out spamming F5 on the wrong webpage. See screenshot: http://imgur.com/S89Ldj1
Seriously, they are gone, I know this because I got one. They were gone in less then a minute and yes they used the same page as the first giveaway. A button came up at the bottom of the screen and you clicked and it gave you a key. Sorry guys if you missed out.
Well I actually am serious. Yeah it was pretty lame, I was refreshing twitter every 2-3 seconds because they said they would post there. I first thought they were gone when I saw the old post and said "Keys 0" but then i saw the date. But then I saw this thread and I clicked the link and I saw there were 359 keys remaining so I quickly snagged one. I have beta on my Battle.net and it shows Beta: World of Draenor at the launcher, which previously only showed PTR: Mist of Pandaria. But apparently there are issues for installing it atm, getting errors. Maybe because of the amount of people trying to install, or I don't know. But I don't think my b.net + launcher would lie at me, after it said success when I entered the key I got.
Hopefully they'll host another event giving maybe even more keys out and giving fair instructions. Personally I never take these instructions seriously these sites give. They always leave out the important part, the exact time and where to participate "oh just check the site" yeah, what PART of the site. I was just one of the lucky few who decided to check that link at the right time.
And personally, I think "Anytime between xx and xx" is not a good idea, it will make people pissed, and annoyed especially when something like this happens. Better to give the date when it's going to be live, so people won't be disappointed for waiting and not knowing weather it's started or over. If I had gone afk like I was going to be just 30 seconds before it went live, I would've come back now quite annoyed because of this. I mean only confirmation there was even a giveaway are those who managed to get a key.
Anyways, I hope you'll believe it. I wouldn't sit here writing that if it wouldn't be over, I would be spamming the shit out of the page. But good luck in future events or personal Blizzard picks to anyone that didn't get a key now. :-)

If that is true its because they banned the first batch of keys due to all the creative folks who either just went to http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/534 and snatched up keys before announcement. That just my thought.
"The King and the Pawn return to the same box at the end of the game"

The only thing that is sorry is how the only people who got keys are brand new accounts who never have heard of this site or posted before this year.

Then why isn't someone with over 20 posts confirming? Just a bunch of new/duplicate accounts?

Right, because mmorpg.com has the ability to ban Blizzard's keys? They posted the keys in the time frame stated, you missed it.

Well at least someone provided some proof. Though why is it that you've got the same page in another window behind the one that shows 0?
I don't see a problem with the dates? I'm not giving into the trolls, I'm watching all their social m edia and the main page

Luckily your loss is my gain!
