Don't bother with the Twitter key giveaways

Is your PS 2 account active? If so then you have.

And on Twitter, they are handing keys to people showing they are true fans/followers of original PS1 (ie, vets...). They won't have much newcomers in beta, this way

had they done this the other way around : handle keys to vets first, at 1st E3 day, then doing their twitter giveaway, they'd have less vets spamming for keys on twitter, and more newcomers getting them

Very true, its actually harming their marketing by doing it this way.

Go to "Membership Info" and if "PlanetSide 2 Account : ACTIVE" then the key worked; inactive then try new key....

Nope it's inactive but I was certain that key worked when I entered it, I brought me straight to my CP right after entering it without telling me it was in use.

Unless you are a veteran Planetside 1 player, than don't bother getting a key, because it's useless.

Don't give up!

Never use public WiFi.

Yeah it's pretty pointless try to get a beta-key through twitter. With 15 second lag between sending and receiving tweet, there's no bloody way you're going to get a beta-key that's not already in use.

I've probably gone through 50 alone today with no luck (not for me but on a buddys account who didnt play PS1 and who can't do it himself). So frustrating

Tried one posted 4 seconds ago, didn't get it. i give up

What I don't understand is that I've entered two keys that seemed to have worked (they didn't display any type of warning message or anything) but in my profile it says the account is still inactive.

I don't understand why they are doing this at all. The whole meaning of a beta is that you will let your game be tested, and try to make it work as you want, BEFORE ADVERTISING. You shouldn't advertise for products that aren't finished, that is just stupid.

And they also said PS1 players would get priority acces. I'm not sure if you can call if priority, when you are giving hundreds of keys away via facebook (which were for the biggest part farmed by scripts, and will most likely appear on ebay soon) and twitter (which you can only get if you spam a few hundred tweets at the planetside account.)

And the people that signed up for beta testing weeks ago, who probably all want to help testing, get nothing.

I do not see any logic in this.

After 4 hours of refreshing twitter i officially give up, no beta access is worth this

[TheBear]

Yup. I have to call bots. Unless there are simply THAT many people trying to enter codes (which I really hope is the case, and possible)

I had the day off, and I had tweet deck open with an account I created for a friend (Already have 2 vet accounts signed up).. Copy and pasta'd probably 30 or so codes @ under 5 seconds from tweet.

No luck.

I'm happy if that's because we have so many people trying to get codes that would be so excited as to subscribe to twitter feeds just for beta codes.. but it IS frustrating.

i wasnt trying, but the constant beta keys mad me unfollow @planetside2 due to the fact that they were eating away at my calm.
