Do you have any idea of the shitstorm of complaints they'd get from entitled little teenage whelps crying about their servers going down left and right if they did that? Not gonna happen.

Eurogamer is giving away beta keys. They got 500 of them. When they're gone, they're gone. I just claimed my own, registered my account and automatically got the beta invite (20 - 22 july).

Now I'm just hoping that my old laptop won't blow up when I try to run it.

Why don't you pre-purchase the game?

As long as you haven't tied it to your account I guess you can just give it to someone else. After that, I reckon you're out of luck.

Oh? What if i installed it and never looked at it again because i couldn't play it, would that mean i have tied anything to anything or not?

And it's memph who would be out of luck, i mean to give it to him you see :smirk:

Oh I dunno. Did you ever received a separate key that grants you access to the next beta? I guess not, right? Perhaps because you pre-purchased it you automatically gain access to the betas.

I preloaded the whole thing but when I click "Log in" I get an "unspecified error: 9". Is this because there is no beta period right now or will I get that error next weekend as well?

lol. I actually should've googled a bit better yesterday because now I found some forum thread in which people say it's because there is no beta event, so I guess I'll be able to log in when the time is right.

Bargain alert, you can pre-order for £24.99 over on GreenManGaming, but only for 24 hours.

I'm getting an Error 404 on that link. They probably wouldn't ship to the U.S. anyways...

Aye, been on and off since 5AM BST. Got most of my characters done, but still one left to go. All of the good names have gone too. To be honest, they should have done names on a per server rather than global basis.

which could cause problems if people switch servers or "guest" on another server. Having said that, I still think it's sort of dumb to force names to be unique. There's more people with the same name in real life too, right?

I haven't got to play any of the beta, but I'm still very interested in this game.

Could someone explain this name issue?

Unique names, couple of million of players, do the math. Many names already taken. The MyCoolName537@hotmail.com syndrome.

Played for a while on sunday, it's okay eh. Doesn't draw me in the way WoW did back in the day, but then i wasn't really expecting it to. Also, thank fuck for that :smirk:

There's also a lot i don't understand yet, like the obscure skill points system. I currently have 8 of the things unspent, since i'm only allowed to spend them on a few skills i don't really want, until i reach level 20 apparently, then i get to pick new ones. Wtf? And the professions, haven't figured those out at all yet either. And are there really no instances to play with your buddies before level 40? :tear:

It's certainly a very pretty game though, and the big events are excellent fun. And Engineer is a pretty cool class, i be deploying turrets and throwing mines and not afraid of anything.
