Have been refreshing that page since 4PM. Nothing changed about it.

got the same with 6305-219511-33538-515831-8281
If that is true its because they banned the first batch of keys due to all the creative folks who either just went to http://www.mmorpg.com/giveaways.cfm/offer/534 and snatched up keys before announcement. That just my thought.
They banned the people on the forums because they screwed up? Good riddance. LMAO.

The only thing that is sorry is how the only people who got keys are brand new accounts who never have heard of this site or posted before this year.
Shame.
Wanna bet its not just new accounts? a lot of them are also our regular WOW haters on their alt accounts to snatcha key.

True, as I said on the last giveaway, most of these people are ultra toxic and insist WoW is the anti-mmo. Yet here they are when there is a new beta for it.
Do you guys want more frequent members to your site? Cause this is NOT how you do that. Congrats on forever flying under the my radar for a gaming site.

Looking at your join date pretty clear you were only here for a key anyway so they wont be missing out on much if you dont come back

How do you know this? They gave away 500 keys. How many of those keys, given out less then an hour ago, have you associated with a new mmorpg.com account? I managed to snag one and I've been on here a few years. I wanted one, I knew they would be gone in seconds and I would most likely leave empty handed, particularly since the site started getting hammered right at 7pm, but I lucked out and beat the odds. The main problem was them not stating what page you should refresh to check for new keys. Other than that, and possibly switching to a lottery system, their isn't much they could do to avoid lots of unhappy people with so few keys to give.
Was really hoping for an access for the next expansion, but I guess not. Anyways these kind of giveaways are pretty tough to organize, especially for a gigantic game like WoW. Congrats to the people who managed to get the keys.
IDK if the keys where there or not but I was right here since 4 pm until now 6 pm with 7 computers each one refreshing every time the page reloads and NOTHING changed from that website it keeped saying 0 beta keys left, now I know I'm a new member and I know I just came for the beta. but it sucks that with 7 computers I couldn't get a single beta I have been playing since Vanilla and those fucking bastards at blizzard didn't sent me a key for veteran. So if anyone can and have an spare beta key please pm me.
Originally posted by Clypto75 So, anybody whose account isnt a few days old confirm that they are actually gone? I seen no updates on any pages and been here F5ing for two hours.
I been here F5ing for about 3 and a half cant understand how I missed it, only way is if they reused the old give away and if they did without stating that what a bunch of a-holes.

might wanna have closed Paint on the second picture before you edited the number :P
Just so you know, you can't use print screen without having to go into paint etc to paste the screenshot and then save it. Well, at least I don't know off any other ways, well you could use snipping tool, but with print screen, pretty sure everyone pastes it into paint. :-)
Oh and why would he fake it anyways, already multiple people confirmed it. But I guess with no confirmation from the administrators there's no real proof, which is shitty.

Either people are so gullible, or some users managed to snatch 10 keys each, as 500 keys vanishing in a second is really a doubt.
And yeah, it feals kinda strange without any update about the giveaway on Twitter/Facebook/Website...
The thread about people complaining they didn't get a key got to 7 pages in a few minutes but you doubt 500 keys could really go that fast ?
This site could give away dog shit in a bag and these same stupid threads would show up with the one post wonders complaining about how they got robbed.

Yea, same here.
Yep, here too, we'll see when an admin posts, I guess.
So I emailed support and got the following response back quickly: "The 500 keys we had were gone in less than a minute. We still have 4000 keys to give out in July and the rest will be done in random drawing sweepstakes that you will have 3 or more days to enter into."
I don't know why they don't just make an official post instead of just sitting there, but I thought I would share with everyone.
(Before you ask for proof, email them yourself if you doubt me.)

I been coming here for 10 years and in those 10 years I have told hundreds maybe even a thousand people to come here and are all loyal followers blow my mind if it came and went without some notification... just freaking sad...

No support staff for a big site reply within the time you're talking about. Sorry, not falling for it.

If someone have a key, and don't use it, please send me in MP
Thx!
