I wouldn't doubt it if they had some number monkeys right now sending web stats to a guy in a suit. That guy makes the call on when the last set of keys go out. All the minions are sitting idly by waiting on Mr. Suit to make the final call.
Mr. Suit - What are hits like now?
Number Monkey - We are still raking in 1,000 hits a minute on the beta link page.
Accounting Monkey - We just had 10 new accounts opened in the last 5 minutes.
Mr. Suit - Good, good...we've got til midnight PST.
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
Cry me a river. I've been a Fileplanet subscriber for years, and if they don't release keys today the only thing they are at fault for is not updating their site to show the promotion ended. It could be that they worded it poorly and that it ran 8/12-8/16 but the last day they were giving keys out was 8/15.

Lol ok,
Lied about what? The day isn't over.
Have a seat sir for about the next 6hr
Well, supposedly their hours are from 8 - 5:30 PST... So they shouldn't be putting them up at this point. I can see within the next half an hour if they were backed up, but midnight is ridiculous.
I called the IGN support and left a voicemail on the VP of digitial ditrubtions voicemail. LOL the secretaries mailbox wa sfull. I wonder why. Mine was very sarcastic and mean.

I dislike when people do this. It wastes time and doesn't accomplish anything.
If case your are all still waiting. I guess its finally time to post this.
"Just received word from Square Enix, and as the messenger at SE said to me, I hate to be the bearer of bad news - beta codes have been further delayed. It seems the dev team wants to review a few server related issues before giving out more codes. They will have a meeting some time later today and we should hear more by tomorrow. Sorry guys... we've got our winners picked, just waiting to assign codes." - Ganiman
People keep linking to that... link. It has nothing to do with this issue. That is in reference to Eorzeapedia ONLY and is referring to how they had to push their beta key giveaway back from the 12th until whenever.
1) you aren't missing anything. There is a reason squeenix was so iron fisted with information about their unfinished game.
2) It's not the fan sites or Fileplanet's doing. Squeenix noticed how terrible the buzz was from the latest beta testers, and put a hold on more so there wouldn't be any more bad word of mouth on their unfinished game.
3) Seriously Squeenix, 8 quests (guildleves) a day and then it's just grinding? Is this 1998 and we're beta testing UO? At least UO appealed to the social misfits with their open PvP, you have nothing, and certainly nothing new. Releasing with zero content isn't going to cut it in 2010.
'Sandbox MMO' is a PTSD trigger word for anyone who has the experience to know that anonymous players invariably use a 'sandbox' in the same manner a housecat does.
When your head is stuck in the sand, your ass becomes the only recognizable part of you.
No game is more fun than the one you can't play, and no game is more boring than one which you've become familiar.

They didn't have to release the NDA...how is that being ironfisted?
fp failed to release or give any word on why the keys were not released. nore did they post on twitter about the no releasing of beta keys. over 300+ people waited from noon till midnight for word or beta key. sundays beta key release took just 15 seconds for all the keys to be released, both yesterday 15 second sneeze + todays 12 hrs of bordom have inflamed the FP forums.
They do one thing right before release and you think they have been transparent?
I hope there are 500,000 fanbois out there because Squeenix is going to need every last one of you to buy the CE and subscribe for three years to keep this garbage scow afloat.

It's a beta... you aren't paying to play it. You really have no grounds to get upset because you didn't get a key.
(Oh, wait. Some of you did pay $7 for a file planet sub -- but that's your own doing and impatience kicking in. Coulda just waited two more weeks for open beta... and four more weeks for retail.)

Well I think I give up. its 9pm. SC2 time.
Fileplanet, I am disappoint.
Seriously, way to go. All I want is to play FFXIV with my friend so we can finally have an MMO to play together.
Preorders get to play 9/22/10, a little over a month from now. Patience, learn patience, you must.
This is what they posted yesterday after the keys were gone, so they should have put out more today.
"They are out again. We'll have more tomorrow! 2:43 PM Aug 15th via web"
Yeah I posted that earlier.... it doesnt help though.
Sorry about that, didn't see it.
Game over people, Nearly 10pm for EST.
I called the IGN support and left a voicemail on the VP of digitial ditrubtions voicemail. LOL the secretaries mailbox wa sfull. I wonder why. Mine was very sarcastic and mean.
I wonder how would u feel if they release it at 9pm PST, or even at midnight PST.
And it was all gone?
I liked your trolling image. Too bad it was pointless :x
Oh well, guess a month we wait.

where did you get that and what does it "mean"

Also does not explain why FP has not posted anything in reguards to a delay and or a cancellation of todays beta key givaway!
Think we should wait until tomorrow for the EST folks? Lol...man this is a tad ludacris
Heres to hoping I win one of the other dozen I signed up for -_-
