This was awesome of both MMORPG.com and Gazillion Entertainment. The codes went fast. I'm glad I saw a post on the MH forums I would of missed my chance.
Originally posted by Raagnarz SO you didn't limit how many keys could go to an IP or account?

I guess once the sploit was in to grab as many as you could, nothing was going to stop 1k+ keys disappearing in less time than it took a person to register. This was a fail on both MMORPG's and Gaz's fault. MMORPG for allowing it to be so easy to grab multiple keys, and Gaz for allowing an account to register more than 1.
One thing you need to understand is that there are people that have family members in the same house who play games. You can't limit it by IP and that's why. As far as accounts go, you can only get 1 key on an MMORPG.com account. I've been here on MMORPG.com a lot time and beta keys and gift key go fast from time to time, so ya you need to be quick sometimes. I missed out my chance for a F.E.A.R. Beta key and they went quick as well.
I doubt Gaz intended people to get 10 or more random hero boxes while a bogo event is going on. As a player that has spent hundreds of dollars on this game I feel pretty bad about this.
I've been wanting to try the game for a while now. I logged into home to start the download through Steam. Any suggestions on heroes or is it play what you like? I usually enjoy aoe nukers/mages, healers, crowd control, and hybrids. I don't mind tanks.
This is the current ladder ranking determined by the community.
Of the more powerful nukers/mages type characters, Dr. Strange is probably the one I find most fun. Scarlet Wtich is powerful, but I find boring to play. Loki is also pretty fun. On the tankier side of things, Ms. Marvel is far and away my favorite character. She's got an incredibly versatile skill set (array of melee and ranged powers) and she's super durable to boot.
Storm and Torch are also pretty fun to play (both are available as free heroes you can pick from).

My worry with Ms Marvel is...why would I play anyone else now. She has it all and is one of my favorite heroes to boot. Leveling anyone else now will be less fun

We do limit this to the best of our ability, but unfortunately, where there is a will, there is a way. There's only so much we can do. For what it's worth, we do apologize for the frustration.

They sure went fast
Ok, no one has been kind enough to give me their unused codes so I can't pass it on, but if such a thing happens not once not twice but 3 times, I will send you the third code.
People gotta share the love first though!
That would be nice of you but I doubt anyone will give up codes, or should. MMORPG should have done a better job of limiting the number people can get per IP. Between all the information to enter (not just a simple email and password?), having to get a new graphic because the first was gibberish, and waiting for the activation email I didn't have a chance LOL
I know some people got codes that don't play. If anyone has a code they aren't going to use and are looking to give it to someone who would be appreciative for it, that would be me.
Wow, this promo started and ended in practically a blink. I've been refreshing MMORPG all day to read news articles and still didn't get this one in time. This is absurd. I hope Gaz does something about this because otherwise this promo will have the opposite effect and make me lose a LOT of faith in them.
Wow that was quick indeed. I assume there were very few codes to give out though to build hype and interest to maybe tempt people to spend for a hero instead, all while showing 'good will' as a nice marketting ploy
I know, cynical (though likely very true) but hey I had to say it. Will say I'm amazed its been a year since the game came out. Feels just like yesterday I installed the game and quickly uninstalled it when I found it to be a lack luster action RPG (I don't tend to buy into franchises much, makes it harder for me to be suckered in just because a popular character is there).
Sucks its wildstar early access that weekend, but I wish them a good anniversity.
Leechers suck. As opposed to players/forum goers that contribute. It's ok. I have a job and will console myself that I didn't get a free hero (even though I JUST KNOW it would have been Dr. Strange)

there are people trying to trade their codes on the forums and a few on twitter trying to sell them lol... I knew people make a bunch of fake accounts and then grab all the keys they can to do that. they really should make it so that you can't get more than 1 by IP address

No. June 4 is the game's first year anniversary.
