ahhh man. I set Fileplanet to send me a reminder email about it, but all the keys were gone by the time I checked. :(

[ZEROCOOL101]

Same here. Second wave keys were gone in 7 min :(

[nekrosoft13]

i noticed, once it said coming soon, i was checking about every 5-10 minutes, one second it said coming soon, pressed refresh and all where gone.

I've been in the beta for 6 months now. I applied and got it. Best part about it, is I still haven't even bothered installing the game. I have had one of the earliest betas they even offered and never even cared to do anything with it. :rofl

[MaXThReAT]

It's open again. I just snagged my key.

[nekrosoft13]

great, they ****ing open it when i'm at work, can't access the site

[MaXThReAT]

AAAnnnnd there gone.

[KasuCode]

I just resigned up for it and couldnt get one.

Guys the way it works is they have a few batches of about 5k keys each day, so far every batch of keys only takes 2-3mins before there gone. The best way to insure you get a key is to download fileplanets comrade and add the team fileplanet ambassador, you will get a instant message when a batch of keys become available. After you get your key you can uninstall comrade if you wish.

yesterday the second batch of keys were released at 10:08pm central time, they may do that again today but no guarantees. I got my key at 9:10am central this morning.


gl mates!







btw if you preorder you can get lots of cool stuff, like mounts, a bow, belt piece for 8 extra inventory slots, the collectors addition has a ring that gives you more xp, and a cape for free drinks in taverns, also with a preorder you get to start the real game 3 days before the official release on 20th of march, and yes you keep your stats xp and items.

Actually, there are 3 batches today...I got mine on the second batch yesterday...

BTW, this is in the wrong forum. I am going to leave it here till later today so people can see it if they want to get in, then I am going to move it to the MMO forum...

A batch of keys is being handed out as I type this, expect it to only last a couple mins

[CaptnStubing]

I just got my key. They were release at 1pm pacific standard time. If you miss the key release in the morning tomorrow, I would check back before 1pm as this might be a set time they release the second batch for that day.

Another thing I noticed is the page change from "confirmed" to "coming soon" about one hour before the batch was released.

I hope this gives you a time frame in which to check for a batch release. Oh and the time the keys were available was about 40 seconds. Not very cool.

Good luck!

yeh, i got my key, but that signup page didnt last very long. I guess timing is everything.....

[MaXThReAT]

It looks like there will be a third batch of keys released before the day is over.
I'm still dl'ing the massive client on my little 1.5 DSL line. :headexplode:

[Feyy]

I played Beta for a while, it sucked :headexplode:

[nekrosoft13]

did you confuse a beta test with a free trial?

[Unstable_Hero]

got a link to the client?

Note: You can NOT download the beta client without first signing up for
the beta. You will need to make sure you are logged into the account
you signed up on.

and with such a large file use the FP download manager

Been playing the closed beta on and off for a couple of months. Some fantastic aspects but a lot of bug fixes and optimization needed.

[ChaoticNick]

is it just me or does it say Batch 3 -04/24/08 -"confirmed", meaning another set of keys coming tonight??

Confirmed means there will be another batch release that day. Coming soon means that "confirmed" batch will be release in an hour from the time the coming soon was posted.

[nekrosoft13]
