I've been cheking this site everyday but not posting a lot (didn't registered just to beg ) ). The 2500 beta invites has been sent and unfortunately, i've not been selected. If anyone is not planning to use it, send me a message with the key so i can use it. I've been playing this game since launch and i'm really eager to see how the f2p mechanism is going to be incorporated.
Thanks in advance
They haven't even been recieved yet (at least mine hasn't), so you are jumping the gun a little :P
That and im going to assume that people that clicked on it to enter.. were interested in playing it.
Yeah I've yet to receive mine yet either, but when I do I'm certainly not giving it up.
Ok .. We will keep the characters we have made in the beta?
No. Once the beta is finished, and the F2P update is on the live client, you will have to start over there. I am not sure if they are going to change the way that the public test server works, but if you can go on that still, you will be able to play on your beta character on Bullroarer. Though, this may just be available to VIP users, I'm not sure.
Turbines sends the keys at their own timing in waves after contest (NOT MMORPG.com)
Beta doesn't end in Aug 6th, its the limit for Turbine to send beta keys to winners
For people who didn't got chosen can download trial and keep that character even if trial runs out, as F2P will accept trail accounts, skipping the "rush hour" when LOTRO F2P goes live
Won't keep Beta characters, they stay in Beta server or wiped at the end of testing.
If you were one of the 2500 key winners, you should have gotten an email/pm from MMORPG.com telling you that the latest you should get them by is Aug 6. If you don't get it by then, that's when you should contact Turbine

How can they wipe our beta character when our beta accounts will leap into the F2P session of the game.
Your account is not a beta account, it is a normal LotRO account. The beta key just allows you to access the beta(Bullroarer) server adn test the new content. As this server is completely separate from all of the other servers, you will not be able to keep your character. The Bullroarer server is made solely for testing new LotRO content, which is currently the F2P update. So, although you keep your account, you will be on a different server. If you ever will be able to access the Bullroarer server again(not sure how this is going to work for F2P), you SHOULD be able to keep that character, though that server is often down unless there is new content coming up soon. I hope this clears things up for you.

I got that email from mmorpg.com.
Will we get key via email?
Yes, it should be a code with instructions on how to enter beta, remember once you able to log in you are testing the new content and might be asked to write comments on what you see.
Wait until Aug 6th before contacting Turbine support is the best thing to do.
Heh, whether we can give a key to him or not doesn't matter, seems none of us have it yet anyway. Also, I highly doubt any of us would be that willnig to give our key up, we didn't enter just to pass it on to someone else, sorry buddy.
Comments
where did you get the client is it the F2P client?
The client is the Bullroarer server, which was the public test server for those who were subscribed to LotRO, so that's how I have it.

Good catch, so far we know:

Yes, you will recieve your beta key via e-mail, directly from Turbine, not from MMORPG.com
