Whats the Beta Key hold up?

xAPOCxxAPOCx Member UncommonPosts: 869
Just wanted to ask the question. Are these gaming sites waiting till tomorrow to unleash these keys on the population? They should be giving them out now so those that still need to DL the game aren't hit with over flow from everyone trying to DL it at the same time. 12 sites will release keys and the mad dash to DL might cause a ton of problems. Perhaps one of the admins could shed some light on as to why they are waiting.

    How many times have you refreshed this or other sites?  The longer it drags on the more page views...

    Just spotted this on Trion's Support Center:

    Announcements

    ArcheAge Beta 4 Invites have been sent out but glyph is giving error 2028. We are currently aware and working on getting resolved tonight.

    Perhaps the Alpha users were getting this error seeing they get to DL the patch before anyone else and it put a hold on sites like this from releasing Keys. its all assumptions at this point until we get word or they just give out the keys and everyone does not care anymore lol/

    I think the OP is referring to CBT4 key give-aways not email invites.

    Site*. Keys were on 1 site for twenty minutes and then they were gone. And that site wasn't even one of the ones listed on the ArcheAge official announcement. None of the 'official' partner sites have given out their codes on the day the announcement says they would be.

    I mean, I got my key already, I'm all good. But I'm wondering what's the hold up, too.

  • Owl_tmsOwl_tms Member Posts: 7
    Yeah, exactly.  As someone on the hunt for a key who basically no-lifed today waiting for the partner sites, I'm a little confused about it.
  • grimalgrimal Member UncommonPosts: 2,935
    That's as far as I can see too.   http://www.mmogames.com/game/archeage/ is holding off until tomorrow.  Who's milking it?  The sites or Trion/NCSoft?

    I think all sites with keys are waiting to release, so they can download,install, and start playing  without the rush of people crashing the servers.

    That does not make any sense seeing as if all the partner sites release keys at the same time then everyone will be entering them at the same time and patching the game at the same time. All that will lead to a possible crash.

     

    At this point, I wonder why these sites put a hold on the keys. I hope its not for the 1 day of extra traffic they are getting. If so that;s incredibly sad and borderline irresponsible. Will just have to wait and see if an explanation is given for the hold up. Wont hold my breath for it though.

    Beta keys available thursday august 21st.

     

    What most the sites are saying

  • TaristarTaristar Member UncommonPosts: 34
    People that got their keys from Zam earlier today have been saying once they redeem the code they still can't update. Maybe Trion is not ready for the sites to release the code, due to Trion not being ready for everyone to start updating yet, maybe Zam jumped the gun.

    Complete possibility. Alienware jumped the gun with their keys to CBT3, so anything is possible.

    Well, the patcher is updating now, so shouldn't be a reason to hold back keys any longer.

    This guy on Twitch giving out keys for subs,

    Can I download/patch if I've never had a beta key or a Founder's Pack?   It would be cool not to have to scramble for the download tomorrow/Fri., assuming I can snag a key.
  • TaristarTaristar Member UncommonPosts: 34
    Need a valid CB4 key or founders pack to download or update the game.
  • Owl_tmsOwl_tms Member Posts: 7
    Ah roger that, kinda what I figured.  Thanks!
