    pitty alot of them accounts was put away for china. this message was added to the main site today and we know that snailgame has already invited the so called pro guilds from china so minus them keys and you can understand why they went so fast.

    I got mine at 5 minutes after... maybe this is the message they send your IP address to make sure you don't take a second key.
    Has anyone here NOT gotten a key?

    If today's shinanigan doesn't worry you then, I don't know what will.  Fortunately, in the consumer market in the United States the buyer wins and the seller loses.  You can call your credit card company/bank anytime you want and charge back on these guys.  Today, the 15th, or April 15th.  All you have to say is the product never arrived.  Trust me, I've done it a million times.

    i thought that too, i got a friend to check the page and tell me what it said at 18:15 and he had the same message

    the subscription was open at about 5pm uk time I know because i went in for a look

    I read somewhere that the AD team said on their irc that it took 1min and 20 secs.

    Whatever the time was, it was incredibly fast and perhaps a testatment to the popularity of DnL. Or maybe peoples desire to play a free game ;)

    I started registering for it right when the website went live, but recieved the message saying it was not yet available. Roughly 30 seconds after 1:00 pm EST, I receieved a message saying all keys were gone. Meh, that is life.

    Aside from your abusing a system that results in large Credit Card fees to merchants and ends up becoming a tax on the rest of us...why exactly would the Pioneers want to chargeback their accounts?

    Alarm goes off at 2am, I jump out of bed straight to my computer, hit the web site....

    The website said the game isn't open till the 13th.  Why would they need to make the DL available right this moment and bog the servers down that much more?
  • noctisnoctis Member Posts: 29

    The 60$ keys were gone in what... 2 days?  Not hard to do the math that FREE keys would be gone in a very very short amount of time.  I would have guessed five minutes, mostly because I thought there would have been "server busy, try again" messages.

    I had 2 filled out subscription pages ready 15 minutes before.  Had a UTC clock to time my clicks as well. I got through.

  • zalatoyzalatoy Member UncommonPosts: 65

    i also had two one for my frined that is working todya.

    my went trough then i cliked his and his didnt lol.

    i gess i was like the last one lol.

    I clicked the button, said it hadn't started yet, so I went to take a piss and came back and clicked again. and it was too late. talk about pissed off..

  • RoinRoin Member RarePosts: 3,444

    lol I got my key. Glad I didn't wait. I was in middle of playing Cabal when noticed that 6pm was rolling around.

    In War - Victory.
    In Peace - Vigilance.
    In Death - Sacrifice.

  • anarkhosanarkhos Member Posts: 4

    Yea I tried to register one for my friend also and I didnt get one for him. Lol

  • logoferlogofer Member Posts: 23

    Did even finally register on mmorpg.com to say i got the key exactly at 19:00 CET and like 30 seconds later they were gone...
    I think there are many people like me who are checking mmorpg.com at least once a day for years and follows dnl soap thriller here in non-verbose mode, so 10000 keys given away in a minute can be very true (while sad) story. ::::04::

    Ya know, the last time I followed a game for this long (over two years now) it was Horizons -- and we all know how that game changed from its original bright promise to its eventual dull release.

    Well, if the doors open to its 18,881 customers on December 13, as planned, the DnL forums will at last burst forth with some "eye witness" opinions of this long-anticipated game.

    Just a wild guess here, but I feel that shortly after December 13, its mmorpg.com "Most Anticipated" status will plummet as people sober up from the "high of anticipation" (the lack of knowledge about the game) and wake up with the "hangover of reality" awareness.

    My personal feeling is that this game will not deliver on the hype.

    I'd like to be wrong about that.

    Those of you that got through do you already have a key sent to you or not, i think i got through but don't know haven't received anything yet.

    no way to check if you have it seems so that sucks, really hope that the game will be worth something when it goes gold in april
