I don't think so, no twitter update and it still says "check back tomorrow" normally when they do betas after the last keys are gone they tell you "All keys have been distributed this is now closed" they take down the FFXIV beta etc
Is it possible that they had it set up to give out keys at midnight each day PST, and everyone just missed the bus?
No, they've been given out at different times each day. They have posted about it on their feeds. No post today. So hard to tell if they were given out and they are just too lazy to change the link. If they are still generating new subscriptions I doubt they would take down the link....more business for them, and who would turn away more money?
I think it'd be very dick-ish to leave the link up if they didn't give out keys today. One could call that false adverising, but due to the wording, they would get away with it. The contest lasted through 12-16, doesn't mean they had to have keys every day. =

It does say in Daily Batches, also it says when you click the link to check back tomorrow for more keys. I would say they haven't distributed them. If they have well...[insert vulgarities here]

$$$ Thats right on the $.
The was a HUGE thread about FP and the beta.
You have no idea how many ppl sign up ($7 is the lowest I think) just for the beta.
There is also no guarantee of anyone getting a key. To qualify you need to be a member. I'm sure that they had tons of people subscribe just to qualify. Good for them, smart business move....just sucky for the consumer.
i have been signed up to fileplanet for a long time and at this point i would not resubscribe to them if they dont release any keys not because i wouldnt get one but because then they have lied about releasing keys and at that point it would be a site that i could not trust anymore

interesting, what happened to the original thread about this?
Deleted
In the words of Strongbad, "Baleeted!"
is it 8 or 9 EST that they stop giving the keys?
They originally stated they work from like 8 - 5:30 PST... so it'd be 8:30 EST.
EDIT: Typo.
8:30 i believe EST is when their office closes, if its 5:30 PST.
The thread that got deleted had a post that mentioned their office hours are 8am - 5:30pm PST so I would say 8:30 Eastern
The longer they wait, the more subscriber they will have!
Its their last day to milk out the user who will subscribe for only the BETA with no chance of refund.
Today is a Golden day for FP.
I have to wonder where the rest of the people are that are waiting for the keys on the last day. Too glued to the contest screen to post?
5 minutes left.
already got my key the 2nd day =P.Helping my friend get one now... Not much to do in beta atm though.
