Well, they didn't do the redraw last night, so now this last handful of winners have had over 24 hrs and in the last hour or so one of them confirmed their key. There had been 7 pending and now there are 6.
If I had been one of the poor folks who won but didn't make it back here in time and are disqualified, I'd be pretty wicked pissed right now. Those 75 people were just SOL when they missed the deadline.

Yeah, I completely agree... It is a little unfair to give these people over 24 hours when no one else got that.
Yea I think it is kinda unfair that these people get a lot of extra time and everyone else only got 24 hours. Next thing you know all of the 6 people that haven't confirmed are just comming back from labor day and all of them get on and confirm. That would make me mad.
The last person who confirmed did so at about 11am eastern. That was 13 hours after the deadline. : /
Plus that means one less chance for the rest of us if they ever do redraw.
I'm really bummed. I've been following this for the last month, logging in everyday to improve my chances. We are waiting on this last 6 people that seemingly don't care.
Well it's almost that time again and still 6 remain unclaimed. Given what it says on the contest page:
The winners will have 24 hours to claim their prize...after this time they may be disqualified and re-selected using a method of our chosing (typically another random drawing).
I still hold hope that they'll just go ahead and assign those of here following and waiting one those keys. I know it says "typically another random drawing" but maybe after having so many (what 3-4 already?) and still some unclaimed tickets, they might classify it as untypical or something.

Ok, so just wow....I guess MMORPG is done trying to redraw for this? Another ticket was claimed long after the last redraw should have been so it would appear so? It's a real shame if this is true, given that there's so few of here eager to get in on the Beta.

The last 6 have had over 50 hours to claim as well, and in all that time these two have remained unclaimed and two others of the six had only been claimed a few hours ago.

Congrats to all who won and claimed your key to beta. Also if you won a key and didn't claim your key what are you waiting for? I'd give at least a little toe for one.

In all fairness, the rule says "may" be disqualified, not shall be disqualified.
I'm sure anyone would claim it within 2 minutes if they saw it, but you don't know everyone's situation, they might just be on a holiday or away for a few days.

Even so, they did the disqualifying and redrawing for the first batch after 24 hours. They should have stayed consistent to keep it fair for everyone inviolved. What about those that didn't claim in the first draw, or the first redraw too? There was even a post from a person mad because they were out of town on vacation when the drawing came. I say tough luck about it, when you sign up for it, it tells you the date of the drawing. Why should anyone get some "extra" time just because they decided to take a trip when the drawing was done? How is that fair to anyone else involved, including those who didn't get picked on the first draws and were holding out hope for another chance on a redraw?
The fact is they only gave 24 hours for the initial draw, and again for the second draw, but the third draw got 67 hours. Basically I'd say the first two draws got screwed royaly and it was unfair for MMORPG.com to not mantain the consistency of only allowing 24 hours for claiming throughout all the redraws.
