So I got my beta key a couple days ago, downloaded the client...woke up all anxious to try the game out but everytime I enter my account name and password, it keeps saying error. Is this my doing or the CB3 isn't in action yet?

Take the Hecatomb TCG What Is Your Doom? quiz.
go here.. it might take a while because its lagging or some shit but its (ww w.account.yusho.de) and then enter your username and password, click Runes of Magic subscribe, enter your beta key and click activate... after that youre set
All i ever get is a corrupted file, so my d/l is messed. I have d/l it from every source available
I downloaded my client from gamershell on the runesofmagic list. heres the link

actually to my knowledge from reading many posts on the RoM forums... 27th-2nd the StressTests Event, they will be activating waves of players to test the capacity of the servers out. So if you're lucky youre account will be activated to test it out but will be wiped out for the second stresstest for another wave of players to test. They will then wipe the game on the 11/2 for the CB3. But then will get wipe again for the OB.
10.27.08 (Mo): Realmwide Wipe of all characters
This is required to ensure a perfect testing from zero (0) with no data waste.
10.30.08 (Thur): 12:00 Stresstest 1 - server down
10.30.08 (Thur): 20:00 - server up, begin of Stresstest 1
10.31.08 (Thur): around 3:00 GMT +1 end of Stresstest 1
The servers will be taken down and data will be used to configurate the next steps.
11.01.08 (Sat): Stresstest 2
This one is being split into a few little phases to react accordingly.
12:00 until 14:00
16:00 until 18:00
20:00 until 24:00
11.02.08 (Sun): Eventuelly wipe of characters around 11:00
This depends on the evaluation of data and the end of the Stresstests 2.
I saw that post, but I remember seeing here and in a couple of ROM's posts that it started today. Now I'm really confused.
Random distribution of keys started today, CB3 is 11/2, after the stress tests.
Grumble. This is not a good way to get the game launched.
If you are going to do contests and give away keys (like they did here), then it shouldn't be a part of a stress test with your key getting activated who knows when.
Contests for keys should only be done when the game is read to take all those keys that were given away.

Hmm, I beg to differ. I have nothing against stress tests, or handing out keys like this. But what I DO mind is that it was explained AFTER they handed out the keys and people downloaded the 1.7 Gb client.
Luckily, I'm from Europe, so the schedule is rather suitable for me. On the other hand: I won't be home this weekend, and half of the stress test is on Saturday. If I had known I would be downloading a 1.7 Gb client for just a few hours on Thursday evening, I wouldn't have signed up at all.

There is a post on official RoM site by Silberfuchs
"Since many of you ask about the activation of their beta key or their account in general, I'll take tha chance to clear some things up for you.
The activation process starts indeed today, at the 10/27/08.
Though we do invite players in bigger waves sind today, this will continue until thursday, 10/30/08."
Hm, it's keeps getting more confusing. Ah well, this is what Beta is for after all, ironing out problems.
I just got an email saying I am able to log in now, but I cannot. Some threads on the official public forums say the servers are down, although no one can agree whether they're coming up pre-stresstest or not. There's an official sticky saying CB3 starts today, others from before said 11/2. I think the confusion is stemming from the distinction between handing out keys, activating keys, opening the CB servers and opening the ST server (which may be the same servers). Good times!
If you're really interested in bleeding edge info, you'll probably have to try to follow over there:

the game is up and running, check out the Yusho account page and if it says Created under the game sub page then you can log in the beta board and also the game. Its actually a very nice game
.
Been trying it out there is a lot of stuff to do ingame including leveling dual classes and a lot of profession you can try out but beware the beta phase is still run as Closed beta phase 2 so even if you log in and create a charcter it will be wiped on the 2nd of November as that is the official date for CB3

Stress tests are part of Beta 2. The key you have is for Beta 3, which does not officially start until Nov. 2nd.
To clarify my point, here's the stickied thread in the Announcments; entitled "Stresstest & Closed Beta Phase 2": http://forum.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=13216
I don't know if they will activate ALL beta keys or not... I hope they do... and agree that they should.
You can get your key registered through there yusho site. Once your key is registered, you need to wait for an email. Basically what the key is, is for a CB3 lottery. Each key will get activated in waves. Once your key is chosen in a wave, you will get the email stating you can now login to the beta boards. If you have an account on thier site, and it auto logs you, log off and log back in. It should allow you to get into the beta boards. Once you can get into the beta boards, you can login to the game. The servers were up about 20 mins ago, but they may have went down. And it is still considered CB2. Why you can login now is beyond me, but you can. Stress tests are thursday and saturday at specific times. Nov. 2nd is when CB3 is, and everyone who recieved a key through the contests should be invited by then and allowed to play. GL and have fun.
On a side note, if your running an anti-virus while downloading, it can sometimes corrupt your dl. Turning it off may help, but be warned. Never download anything with it turned off unless you trust the source of the download. Do your research. GL again! :P
