Don't bother with the Twitter key giveaways

Seriously, either you have to be creative and appeal to the PS2 twitter person or you have to have some kind of auto fill bot.

The beta keys that I copy-pasted into the beta key/promo field were gone within 5 seconds of the tweet.

I thought they were Direct Messaging the keys?

At least, they were yesterday...

They are giving away keys via tweets right now and not DMs.

Definitely don't bother with the keys they are giving out. They are posting them as text so the bots will use them in an instant. My friend managed to snag a key from facebook yesterday, and it was only because people complained and they finally posted a batch as an image.

You can still tweet them stuff to try and get one that way though.

Oh bummer. Glad I got one yesterday then. That racing to enter the code must suck.

i was able to get one late last night, around 12PDT, from arclegger when most of everyone was asleep lol

I'm just annoyed that they've not responded to vet/reserve player priority thing. It would be nice if I could get a simple answer.

SpynEs · 2012-06-06, 09:22 PM

yeah im a bit depressed that the tweet said 4 seconds and im a really fast ctrl-c -> ctrl-v into the soe key window and it was taken, so for awhile i kept trying and trying to get a key and....nope.avi.

Otleaz · 2012-06-06, 09:28 PM

Yeah, bots grab every last one. No point.

ElectroEsper · 2012-06-06, 09:28 PM

Dont give up lads, it tooks me 2 days and about 100 tweets to get the lucky notice + a TR Fan art of a light assault. And when they choose you they send you a private message with da key.

I do agree in the fact that there is a bit of luck involved though.

Ive given up on twitter. I got a wedding to go to. So if they send me a key... awesome. But i feel annoying spamming it. And slightly low for begging.

I got one from FB and twitter. And I got the magazine. :P

So, I pretty much got beta for all of my friends.... :P

So yeah, I wouldn't bother with the FB at ALL, it's dominated by bots... But if you really want a key, and don't want to buy the mag, I'd try to be creative and do the twitter. :P

i really think those of us who are in or get in should be given 3 keys to pass along to friends etc.. promotes outfits playing in beta to test features and helps get more true fans in game for beta testing.

Good marketing too. Much better then spamming your friends facebook pages with invites.
