Keys and game sucking

Anyone got a extra key laying about. I know its a long shot that someone will help me out of the kindness of their hearts but ive been waiting for 2 years and missed my chance because of work. I know that some people have already decided that it sucks and im looking for some long shot help for somone whos already given up on the game.

no one? well it was a long shot lol.
Well the free account people can't log in for another 3.5 hours or so... maybe try back tomorrow. I mean it's unlikely someone who paid $60 to be a pioneer is just going to give away their key but maybe some of the free accounts will if they don't want to play.
Happy hunting!

ah yes i forgot about that. Bah. I will try back tomorrow. Man does it piss me off that i missed a key.
yah but i have a feeling from the debacle that is occuring right now that it could be months before another wave of keys. So I am trying the kindness route.

Not very funny, actually. They are selling more keys, but without all of the pioneer benefits. I believe there will be some benefits though.
where do you get this "more key" info. I haven't seen anything about that, much less the fact that if they cant tighten up their release this whole project is going the way of WISH.
Umm hello? Have you been following the game? They said more keys will be given out, and more preorders will be sold. They will not be pioneer accounts but just DnL preorders that will also give you access to SoG.
Nothing funny about being ignorant you know. Try reading things on the DnL website before you go ridiculing someone for posting facts.
I think the point he was trying to make is that if the game really does suck as bad as people are complaining about then there will be no point in selling keys. Me personally I like to make a decision about a game on my own, hence the desire for someone to pony up their key.

one- stop hijacking my thread.
two- no this isn't the worst launch by far. Please, were you there for wish. Or SOE's NGE. Or Mourning. Mourning was fing awful. This is a semi bad launch for a game that has a lot of potential with a TON of people trying to log on. Not only that but geez this is for a free beta test of a small portion of the actual game that will be released in 6 months. If you dont think they are going to learn from this debacle, well thats just plain stupid. This actually isn't a bad idea if people would stop frieking out.

You would have to be a very special person to pay for a subscription anyway, much less w/o the Pioneer "benefits."
I've followed this game with cautious enthusiasm for a couple of years also and I'm sorry to say I can now advise you not to bother.
UI is primitive
Animation is amuteurish and choppy even on a high end gaming rig
Sparse to non existent NPCs
World comes across as surprisingly small and quick to traverse given the billing it had
Only fun to be had is to fly around on a dragon for a bit and then skydive into the ground - which amazingly is a survivable experience at level 1
Makes me sad because the technology for the world itself is quite good. Would have been great if a properly resourced development team and studio could have got their hands on it.
Ah well, on to Vanguard I guess

then it disconnects.
It's a nice loading screen i must admit. but i always thought they had a different catch phrase
"We feel gold selling and websites that promote it damage games like Vanguard and will do everything possible to combat it."
