Yeah cant believe I decided to have some more sleep this morning,seems I missed the EU keys by about 10 mins,if only I didnt phone the Mrs and feed the cat I would have made it :P Ahh well hopefully just this 1 I am missing and everything goes fine when the pre-order's start next Tuesday.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks" http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/235780/page/8 |

Yes i do receive them, they dont go in my spam, and they havent for years. One thing is i will probably receive this email sometimes tomorow....
It never did bother me before, guess now it does....
If you use any of the "Free" mail providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc you will definately see major delays. These guys all have anti-spam policies in place that will not allow one source (like our mail server) to send more than xxx emails per hour. After this limit they reject us and our mail server sets a retry timer (usually 1 hour later, then 4 hours, then 8, etc). Unless you pay the extortion fees from these guys (some as high as like $20,000 per year) they won't let you around this. If you are not already, I encourage you to use an email from your ISP or good source. Sadly all the anti-spam measures are making emailing people harder every year. - MMORPG.COM Staff - |

I cant believe I missed this promotion out... I check this site like 10 times a day... wow.. :( |

I have been waiting so long to try this game and here I missed it lol. I want to just see how it is really, if anyone has an extra key I would greatly appreciate it. If not I guess i have to wait and see. :( |

If you're late, just go pre-order the game if you really want to play it that much. However, I pre-ordered and I still havnt recieved my beta key from gamestop. When I do though, I'll be giving it to someone in the Aion forum who has been following the game for a while and is without a key.

You have a great point here. I always felt that there should be a 30 day waiting period between setting up an account and being able to participate in any of the contests here. Oh well... *shrugs* Bioware did not make Knights of the old Republic 2. |

Only got the email 2 hours ago but by then it looks like all the keys were gone. Time to unsubscribe to general game alerts and resubscribe to RSS? |
|
|
meh... they should have made it so they give like 500 keys every hour instead of all 5000 at once.
;s |

Got mine at 10 pm central looks like night owls got the keys,guess it pays to lurk at night The following statement is false |

Thats the speed am getting and seems to be the general speeds that people are reporting, a few people have report 1Mb+ tho. I have been downloading for just over 6 hours now I think and its at 33% so it should be done for the weekend :-) |

Excuse me, but how many keys did you give away 5? No way you had 5000 keys go that fast. Another fail by MMORPG. |
|
|
Well my PC just crashed and I was a bit annoyed at the thought of maybe having to restart the download to say the least.
When I restarted the launcher the game did start again at 0% But this time the game is downloading at 1.3Mb a sec which is so much better and has just over 60mins for it to be complete instead of the 60Kb/900mins before, result! :D |

Guess we had to be in the right place at the right time for this one. :( I didn't get my email until this morning.
Boo.... |

Yes it's completely unthinkable that one of, if not the most anticipated MMO of the year would have closed beta keys snatched up like hot cakes. Stop pissing on MMORPG because you didn't get a key. I always make sure to check my email at night in case of giveaways like this. My husband will now be able to play Aion this weekend along with me :-D He got his around 2,200 left. |

Indeed,word of the mmorpg.com giveaway spread over the net like wild fire,there is even a timeline(of sorts) on aion source of the keys being given away and how many were left....missed it by 10 mins.
