News: Nvidia Beta Weekend Early Access (no more keys)

[Top Sgt]

so current question

What if someone registered and got one of those keys.. but he hasn't entered it into a SOE account yet because he was working etc

Can he still enter it and play the game now or?

[Maniox]

^ Probably, why not?

I were just PMed by a person that wanted to sell me an nvidia beta key...

[Bruttal]

the link in this just takes me to an overview of nothing. I think they changed the link now or something.

[Whitetragedy]

As unlikely as this is, does anyone have a spare Nvidia beta key they can give me?

[BlueSkies]

fairly certain they locked it down, but can't hurt to try (though I wouldn't suggest buying one...)

[Lord Paladin]

I feel so dirty for believing SOE and buying my PC Gamer may for a key.

Anyone with a spare nvidia key take pity and help a brother out?

^This

I know its not the case (i hope) but i would LoL if PC Gamer/ Twitter Keys get in like a day before open beta starts, pretty much making the keys useless

so i spent 10$ on a magazine just to get a key and they give free instant access to anyone including those who aren't vets.

These keys were handed out by mistake yesterday. They were only meant for a beta weekend event next week. Not full out access.

not really, 1) the Nvidia keys shouldn't have been distributed yet and 2) the keys weren't set up to be limited to the three day weekend keys and were accidently full access beta keys

so yes having a PC gamer/ Twitter key does suck right now, but the whole Nvidia key giveaway was a complete and utter mistake

Yeeeeeep. Searched for days here in Australia just to find a single copy of this magazine a month after it hit the shelves in the US (they stock one month behind in most stores here) and get a slap in the face with this Twitter/E3 = PCG shit after months of saying 'priority' = vet =/= Twitter

There was definitely an NDA for signing up using an nvidia key, as I read through the entire thing before agreeing to it. So those people saying that there wasn't one are either lying or were in such a hurry that they weren't paying any attention to anything. (The NDA says that you can say that you are in the beta, and so forth, but pretty much nothing beyond that)

P.S. This thread seems to be somewhat screwy. Says there are 11 pages, but on page 10 attempting to go to next page or page 11 just returns to page 10.

P.P.S. The beta weekend that this promotion was supposed to be for, if I remember the date from the webpage correctly, would have been just before priority keys got in, and if the keys had been properly set up they would have only allowed access during that weekend, most likely.

There's no way this was intentional, in any case.

Odd. very odd. I wonder if it has something to do with all the posts they had to delete.

I disagree entirely
