Hey me and my brother (his acct name is sephtl) both signed up for this thing and we're on a network. So that means we have the same IP I'm curious.. in the off chance one of us could win this thing, would you be willing to make 1 of us ineligible that way you wont think we were cheating? Thanks.
It is illegal to sell beta accounts, I suspect that this forum would never allow the beta accounts that it gives out to be sold. And I am very glad to see that you have been looking into cheaters and removing them. Looking into 50 accounts is admirable (thats alot of work), and we are thankfull to you for all your hard work, and your dedication to the mmorpg community.
Thanks for the opportunity www.mmorpg.com! I like everyone look forward to Ultima X: Odyssey, and relish the idea of getting involved in the beta test. It is by beta testing that we (the mmorpg community) are able to do our little part to better the mmorpg industry. It is in beta that we are able to correct long standing game mechanic issues, that all games suffer from, with out proper beta testing (eg: SWG). This is our opportunity to help create what we want to play.

Yeah i hope i get picked i have a good feeling on this one. My bro got picked for getting a free copy of Lords of Everquest and he didnt check his email and ended up not getting one. That sucks for him but I hope it doesnt happen to me.
Hold on a sec. Why would anyone be so stupid as to openly admit (in this thread of all) that they would sell the BETA account info if they won it. Isn't there some law against that ?
I don't think that was the intended purpose of this Promotion. (at least in my opinion).
So before anyone thinks, this is NOT an attempt at kissing Admin Ass for a greater chance to win. (But in the off chance this could be a possibiltiy, send me a message.)
I am actually interested in experiencing the BETA for the benifit of the developers and mmorpg.com with reviews, updates screenshots etc. Another Title to add to the list I have already tested.
My 2 cents, flame shield active.

Keep checking your email then Blade, but remember to ck this site on the 15th of Jan, as that is when the winners are announced. They are so good to us here don't you think?
Originally posted by Admin Yep As well as the reverse DNS for that IP browser headers and other information. So we can catch cheaters sometimes even if they use a dynamic IP (ie a dynamic IP might still resolve to something like 'dyn5.yourisp.net'). Typically even if you have 20 ips from a dynamic source they will all come from the same sub-net (ie 192.168.*.* - so this can start to raise suspicions when combined with other similarities). We removed over 50 accounts from the last contest because we could detect cheating. Note the enormous task involved as well. You would have to setup a different e-mail account for each MMORPG.COM account and confirm them all. All this being said - we can't stop cheating 100% effectively, but we always try our best - MMORPG.COM Staff -

Same here, the wait is killing me, UXO is one of the ones I've been waiting for most of all, even after the announcement of no tradeskill system I still really wanna check it out. And definitely good luck to all, this one'll be big.

Kun-- I am with you. I have been looking forward to the UXO beta/ official release for a long time, and this beta contest has just made the wait more intense...I do not mind the non-tradeskill aspect either. The guilding and ability to do instanced dungeoning is going to be a major step up from the old stuff. I just recently got DSL (i used to play MMOs on friends' computers.) One of my buddies in Ohio got the Alien for Christmas...he says that thing is so fast! I want to be able to play my UXO on it when I visit next month.
HELP!! Question: Can I fully access my Ultima X: Odyssey account from a friend's computer, while still maintaining all the components of my character and abilities and virtues???
Kunou!! Gm of Desolation Shadowbane! I remember you from when i played SB. heheh do you remember me? The Punk lvl 60 lighting Chanter (at the time 60 was cap)... Ahh the good old days against Warrior Nation.... I started a 1 man run city on the South mainland of Khar under your banner called Sanctuary of Darkness till the exploits got bad and i got suspended for reporting the ones i knew lol.
How lame is that when you report an exploit thinking your doing the game justice and get suspended for it ... Twice... Just 1 other lame reason why i quit the game.
Didn't know if you still played nor you were present in this community. Good to see you anyhow. Peace.

Malk! Damn man, how ya been? Of course I remember ya, yeah, I left SB when it got too bad with the exploits and all, turned the guild over to one of my officers, Unabomber, they're still standing tho, Deso is still on the map, Ground Zero is still BY FAR the oldest city on Chaos, planted days after release, gets baned on a regular basis and hasn't fallen yet.
After SB I tried SWG for a while, got a branch of Deso up and running there, they're doing ok, then I went back to DAoC for a bit to try out the ToA stuff, now playing Horizons, Deso coming along nicely there also. I mostly troll the Horizons board here, don't post in many of the other threads much.

Whats up with this, I log in and go to discussion boards, noticed I'm not logged in, then try to relog and it can't find my user name and password. Strange huh, so I go try to log in again and it works. This just isn't my day lol.

Seems like its been going a long time, but in all reality the 15 is coming pretty quick now.
I can't wait to see who all gets the beta, the wait is killing me lol. Good luck to you all btw.

This would be a great birthday present if I got it.
Will happy birthday to you illumiati in advanced then.
Competition only open to Americans and Canadians? Fucking typical. That probably means we won't get the game in Europe until 2005!!!
