They have a thread over there re beta key send outs. You can post as long as you don't say anything they disagree with.

    Keeping in line with the short responses:

    Well that's dumb.

    --------------------------------------
    A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

    Can't really blame them.  15k beta keys going out and everyone is grumpy because they have not gotten one yet.  They are just trying to contain it all.  IMHO, it is past time they lift the NDA.  This is going to be one wild ride weekend.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    Since I'm not in beta, but hypothetically if I were, I might mention how upset the tech testers would be if they found out that they aren't invited to the pvp weekend.  But im not, so im just speculating.

    Yes that would be a little sad if they aren't invited, however, I would think that the tech testers get more of a chance to be updgraded to general beta status that someone coming straight in. Also a greater chance of being put into Open Beta before someone applying and coming straight in.

    Whose to say tech testers havent done this kinda thing before though /shrug

    I'm holding out for a CE buddy key from you at release.  That is all I can say at this point.

    Thanks for checking, Avery.

    Ugh...I have my Yahoo! mail open, and I'm just waiting for one to say "Gamestop AoC beta key!"  Everytime I see new message I get my hopes up, but then it's just spam, and I die a little more inside..

    ..There's no use in being sick if there's nothing to do

     LOL nice Grammar.  What a head trip that sentence is. Felt like i was cracking code.

  • Exar_KunExar_Kun Member Posts: 242

    Sad thing is....

    I haven't even activated my AoC forum account yet and I got a GS key. I was surprized cause I'm not even a part of the AoC community. Sorry guys but I'm sure the powers that be will make it right.

      Same here. I open up MMORPG forums, make a new tab, hit home to yahoo, look to see for a key, see none, whimper a little bit, go back to forums and repeat.

    The Gamespot Event and the AoC Forums have nothing to do with each other (except that they're for the same game).

     

    Gamespot hosted this event, they picked the winners from submissions to their site. YOu could have been registered on the AoC Forums for years and it would not have made a difference.

    I love grammar.

    So long as you don't say anything they don't disagree with.

    =

    So long as you say nothing and so long as Funcom agree with this "nothing", then everything will be fine with the Funcom thought police.

     Ah, no wait! Or maybe it means:

    So long as you say "something" and Funcom disagree with that something, then everything will be ok with the Funcom thought police.

    Curses, now I am confused.

  • eugameugam Member UncommonPosts: 984

    One of the few things i learned over the years is to not vistit official forums while the game is in development.

    They arnt invited 

    FUNCOM - putting the FUN in disFUNctional !

  • Well overall things do seem a bit out of wack.

    I was invited and participated in the last techtest.  My access to the private beta forums remains open, I have the game installed and it still gets the newest patches.  You'd think I'd be seeing something come my way that would signal what's next, but not a word.

    I'm sure they have logic in how they're doing things, just can't say that I see it.

    I guess it's a toss up between thought police and dealing with hate filled shills. Neither prospect is appealing to me...guess that's why WAR refuses to have official forums.

    That's one of the main reasons I try to avoid any kind of official forums like the plague as soon as a game is released, with the only exception being the tech forum.  Anyway 90% of all posts on an official forum  is from whiners and people whose only intention is to disrupt any serious and constructive discussion. And my time is too precious to be bothered by that when I could spend that time with either playing the game or doing something else
