Wish you were in the Age of Conan Beta? Think you haven't got a prayer?  Funcom thinks you do.  Funcom is running a contest where those who post the best beta prayers to the Hyborian gods could win access to the AoC beta.  Just remember, Crom doesn't love you. 

Sometimes all you can do is pray to the gods and hope they listen. We at Funcom have heard your prayers to us, but it never hurts to have the gods on your side! Therefore, we have reserved a number of keys to the General Beta of Age of Conan for the best beta prayers to the Hyborian gods.

Anybody can enter this competition. The only thing you have to do is to post in THIS thread and write down your betaprayer to any of the Hyborian gods (Set, Crom, Derketo, Mitra, Ishtar, Erlik... doesn't matter which one you prefer). The funniest/best/most creative/outstanding entries will be rewarded with a key for the General Beta of Age of Conan. This competition ends on March 9th 2008 at 12:00 GMT so make sure you have posted your prayer until that time!

"But what about us veterans that are not yet in the Beta?" some of you might ask. Don't worry. We have put aside a certain number of betakeys for active long-time followers and will handpick those from our community on this forum. So a new round of veterans will be invited outside of this competition.

Read more here.

And I will pray for the souls of the people that actually do this...

By Crom, I'll give up one of my 2 WAR beta accounts!

What a load of crap just make AoC open beta already. It is definately ready to enter open beta as they are close to release. I'm sick of companies that pull this kind of crap with all the people who want to get in but are not good enough under the devs eyes, bs. 

Pray to the god's my a$$ more like pray that you get in and you still won't.

Companies that do this kind of silly sh!t will just tick off most people and they will look elsewhere.

It's simple, open beta or no beta at all with outside people, plain and simple you freakin TARDs.

  I understand having an opinion, but why are posters in almost every forum I read so negative? And I mean nasty negative so often.  Is it because they are anonymous?

I think what Funcom is doing sounds like a fun little marketing strategy. I would participate in it, but won't for my own reasons

It's fascinating to see how many people rant and rave and show much more of their true personality than they ever would/could in RL since they have to adhere to the rules of society and are not protected by being anonymous.

As to the Topic, it's a fun little idea. Too bad I was never too good at prayers in the first place. *snickers*

Can I pray for my AOC account to turn into a WAR account?

I am not good at this, but thought Id at least give it a try.

"O Crom, grim and gloomy god, ever watching from atop of yer mountain in dark clouds and obscuring mists, ready to pass a disapproving judgment on any and all. Before I die and you ask me the Riddle of Steel, will ye grant me one request? O Crom, let thy enter into the digital realm you have created for one last high adventure!"

LOL  Much better than I could think of.

i speak my mind wherever i go....rather be truthful and honest than lie and be a fanbois/hater

As I said, I have no problem with opinion, civil opinion. Civility seems to be a lost art,  just an act of regard for other's opinions.

"All hail Set...   *Moan*

    Evening has befallen us once again Master, and your vile plans are beginning to unfold before me, your humble servant...
Your wicked, abomidable, corrupt, villainous... and yet strangely compelling tongue, has spoken of a filthy brood that has infested your dominion here on earth.
I am here to slaughter them at your command...

    The 'glorious' acts and prayers that these putrid humans have engaged in to stop you, are merely a pitiful besetment to your unrighteous reign.    *Moan*

    Just say the word Master, and it shall be done without any hesi..."

    *SMACK*

Mother: Gaute Godager! You come here right now and tell me what that thing on your head was!
Gaute: I don't know mother! I found it out in the woods after killing squirrels with papa!
Mother: Well then, just give it to me! Let me see what it is..
Mother: Let's see here... 'Serpent Crown. 1 Size fits all. Made in China.'
Mother: Huh, well that's strange. I'm going to go throw this away, so come downstairs and get some dinner before it gets cold.
Gaute: *Sigh* Yes mother...

        *Mother walks away*

Gaute:   *Ahem*   As I was saying.....

So what do you guys think? Beta key worthy?

I have first-hand experience in the matter, and that's like praying your nugget of gold will turn into a lump of coal.

I like it,  Zetrick,  good luck.  And return to let us know if you win a key.

Do you really think they are going to read all of these emails?  Its still going to be a random grab.  Good god I want in beta!

You post your prayer on the forum and not through email.
