    I don't know if the Adventurine is just dumb or they are trying to generate a buzz in a different way.   I can see giving away beta keys in a fun manner, but to give away 1 is just really dumb.   Actually, it is kind unnerving to hold a contest and only give 1 away.  It would be understandable if it had something to do with giving 1 of a 1000 and that person gets a little head start, but just 1 is almost insulting.   Almost seems like they are trying to belittle their consumer base by dangling a carrot.

    who gives the key away to whom and how is the procedure to obtain the key?

     Maibe it was typo on the site and they ate alot of  nr. 0

     

     It would realy not surprise me if the beta key was just given away to someone already in beta.

    Mmh, since you repeat this question:

    The italian website offers it, to play in the journalists´ beta.
    So do you think, this website got much more keys and want them spread later?

    Or what do you know?

    hold on,

    i count to this moment 571 contestants many of which aren't part of the targeted community and just wanna grab the price and/or double posts of same posters ..how you come up with your number of 10+k ?



     

    What's funny here. Darth, is you just unwittingly gave further confirmation for those who don't believe Darkfall has a snowballs' chance in Hell of succeeding.

    571 contestants trying to get a beta key for the supposedly greatest and most anticipated mmorpg ever. And many of them the same person twice.

    Yep, gonna be a MASSIVE success. Just look at all those people clamoring.

    I have a funny feeling all 571 contestants will pre-purchase Darkfall if given a chance in the next few weeks.

    Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

    One beta key?,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,one????????????

    Probably a good thing considering they would'nt want to crash the server.

    I was asking because those i was asking seems dunno what the hell they talking about ...

    Some things have to put in right proportions here.

    You got it right..it is the italian website who offer  to put 1 of their press keys (i am sure they have more of them for their use) in a contest  to create a X-mas special for their italian site..

    Aventurine has little to do with that,  except they allowed these random raffle..

    Reread the posts i quoted and you sure will find them as funny as me the time i have read them, given the info we know now ....

    Italian Community may be not that big but seems fine,  dedicated and worthy to get these regard even if small..

    I am sure the effort of the admins there play maybe a role in that ..(and their generosity to share 1 of their press-keys with their community)

    Noone said the Italian community didn't deserve it. There was no slight to the Italian people at all.

    The point is that, if the game was as anticipated and wanted as you seem to think, there would be more than 571 contestants due simply to everyone and their brother joining that site for a chance to win. Amazing that people all over the world will join a small site in another country for a chance at a game such as Aion, but nobody gives enough of a care to sign up for a Darkfall beta slot.

    Its what i am saying..but don't worry ..it is widely and well known were to put MMORPG.com ..

    Its not surprise MMORPG.com didn't even got 1 to share ..

    If you are going to be condescending... at least have a good reason. The fact that Aventurine released 1 beta key a month before release is comical. When have you ever heard of a game of any kind releasing 1 key for a site to give away? Say what you want, but this stunt does not reflect well on the company.

    You post on here quite often so by showing your contempt for this site you are only showing contempt for yourself.

     

    You not informed. MMORPGItalia.it got more keys.

    The Admin of MMORPGItalia.it however - who don't disqualified himself by asking unfair questions recently in an interview - asked nicely  Aventurine if it would be possible to  use 1 of those for a site contest..in a random way...and because he asked nice he got a  pleasent answer..

    MMORPG.com probably missed the chance to put nice questions and to be helpful for the DF Community  here and instead wasted their questions with wording like -vaporware- for example...

    got my point now ?

     

    OMG... ROFLMAO

    Who the hell we are to judge holy mighty Tasos and his God-send game up above. You got serious, very serious issues...go get some help. I mean it!

    DarthRaidens posts are generally worthless, like many of his brethren, theyre so bent on making up excuses for darkfall that they border on ridiculous at the best of times. At worst they make totally illogical arguments and pull facts out of their ass by spewing their own personal interpretation of Tasos's statements.

    Ive said it before, and Ill say it again, MMORPG.COM earned my respect by putting Tasos on the hot seat. Trying to use that as a means to explain why Tasos&Co been shady about beta invites is ridiculous.

    Smart marketing says try to win over the naysayers, but apparently whatever internet college Tasos graduated from didnt teach that in Marketing 101.

    I am assuming I missed the sarcasm here. Why for the love of God would they want to win over people who are completely outside of thier demographic. They are not making a game for "Every" MMO player type, they are making the game for a specific group of people.

     

    That is like an butcher shop worrying about vegans. The vegans are never going to buy anything from their store so why should they put out ad's to try and attract them to a butcher shop?

    Wrong sir, completely wrong. I would say its more like GM trying to win over people who would otherwise buy Japanese cars.

    Would you pls ,oh pls, direct me to a link where it shows Tasos or anyone of the Aventurine's employees saying more or less what I highlighted in nice pink letters and YOU just claimed?Pretty pls?!?!?!?? I'm only asking cuz the only people that i ever saw using those words or similar ones so far are from the "fans" of the site so far and every time i submitted this question they strangely enough went silent...... And if you are gonna start using metaphors to make a point try to make more accurate ones "butcher shop and vagans???" seriously???                                                                                                                                                                           Try this one: That is like an butcher shop specializes in providing services to people that prefer white meat from red meat.The people that prefer red meat are never going to buy anything from their store so why should they put out ad's to try and attract them to a butcher shop?                                                                            See? Doesn't that make a bit more sense?? On a side note asides from the question i placed a few lines above would you think this one also: Wouldn't it be more fair if you let the company  decide if they would want their product  targeting a specific group (as you so nicely say) of people, or it would they actually want it to be targeting the wider public (an mmorpg for everyone)?

     

    Iiii-iiiiiit's.... me!!! *Hooray*
