  • I didn't get a key yet. I just got the confirmation email. Was just wondering if it's a closed beta key that was won or an open. There is no description in the contest about it. :)

     *small footnote or question to mmorpg.com, the confirm your details page entry boxes, where we fill in our details was high lite yellow with white writing, very hard to read, same goes for the email message to my mmorpg email box, had dark blue background with black writing, again very hard to read, I think I got thru them, but others might not, which means they might not be able to claim there prize, due to the fact that the colours clash making it very hard to read or input there details, just thought you should know.
    I will see if I can post this in suport as well.

     

    the confirm your details page is pretty clear and easy.  Text shows up black in the white boxes

    I think it was Firefox's autocomplete fields.  They are always yellow(Mine was very difficult to read; I think I got everything right though.)

     

    Been waiting for an hour now...I might just have to wait till tomorrow(getting late here)

    I suspect they are matching the winners and sending the keys MANUALLY for some reason.  I was one of the first to confirm and I got mine within 15 minutes.

    Odd, but that is what I suspect.

    Kinda sucks that the people who have been watching this game for like a week probably get in...but the people who have been waiting a year? forget about it...I really hate f***ing contests

    Confirmed also. I already am in closed beta, but I heard people complaining about the open beta so I figured I  would see what exactly is so bad about it. I suppose i'll find out later tonight.

    Hrmmm. Does anyone know whether they send the key by email or mmorpg or both? Hopefully they aren't mailing it cuz i think i mite have put an 8 instead of a 7 >.< lol

    Hey Congrats to all the *lucky* winners. I was wondering if anyone was interested in trading their key for a inactive, but high-lvl swg account (easy to re-activate) maybe can share beta account or something...I would really love to try BETA, just got a new video card for this game, but missed the fileplanet keys...even though I am subscribed... or if you wouldn't mind just helping out a frustrated beta-wanna-be-in fan of Conan just PM me, thanks

    *COUGH*

    You aren't going to make any friends taking away a key from others when you are already 'in'.

    Let the death threats commence.

    it definitely goes to your MMORPG inbox.  Probably a duplicate to your personal email.

    No, they are not mailed via postal service.

    Yeah I know what you mean...

     

    In the past I have waited a year or two for a game and never get accepted into beta.  I found out about this game two days ago though and somehow got in...kind of messed up.

  • kitsunegirlkitsunegirl Member Posts: 525

    lol snail-mail. By the time you got your key, the game would be retail. xD

     

    Yeah beta-contests are annoying... not as bad as Warcracks beta-key generators.

  • I've been watching this game since inception and applied for beta when registration opened. I won a key and now I am ready to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of the women

  • kitsunegirlkitsunegirl Member Posts: 525

    ...and watch the game CTD because its a beta-client... lol

    Yay I just got my email!  Took about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

    Grats to all the winners!

    Yeah, I have a page that I have to manually fire to issue keys to those that claim.  I am actually travelling atm, and hitting the page from my cell phone browser when I can.  I did the first one which sent out 19 keys and again a few mins ago which shot out 80 more.  FunCom wanted us to spread these keys out over the 4, 5 and 6th (100 per day) so I can only do another 100 or so for today (5th).  But all 300 winners (that confirm) will get their prize no later than the 6th.

    Regarding the age old question of US winners.  Our drawings are random...completely random.  However, you need to understand that 60% of our users are from the US and usually an even higher % enter our contests...so of course there will be a lot more US winners than other countries...it is just the way it works out.

    Looks to me like its closed beta.

  • compooter41compooter41 Member Posts: 23

    Yep Got the key! Thanks!!!

    -Nate

  • redcap036redcap036 Member UncommonPosts: 1,230

    Got mine in about 45 minutes!

     

    Anyone know how long we got to use this key, I know the game comes out in two weeks or so, but how long is the key active for and when does it become active, does it become active when we input the key on funcom's website or is it when we log into the game for the first time?

    I can't download the game for about another 6-7days, till my bandwidth clicks over.

    Put in the key now... make an account. You can DL the game anytime after that as long as you're logged into the account.

  • jordancdsjordancds Member Posts: 14

    Heh, yeah at 110 kb/s it's going to be a couple of days for me...

     

    How long does the account last?  and when does it start?
