sounds like everyone else who didnt get one :)

Well...if they are inviting some ppl who aren't active and left forum long time ago ... im not suprised to be concern about this topic... :)

The truth has high expectations this day and I'll be clear I have multis acc but it was not to turn them into something lucrative was for my friends.
When I used the system that I felt really bad and to wait long to see or use your product.

Todabia I get a key and I hope to do something I'm desperate!

Chris, I agree with your original post that lurkers should get a fair chance too. But people who visit the forum regularly, should at least have their "Last Visited" set to something fairly recent, right?

In other words, if your profile says

Would you still have the same chance of getting a beta key as a lurker who visits every day (but never posts)?

I know I'm a fresh signup, but I agree with this, because it's more likely that a person, even with significant #'s of posts, but a "last visit" of lets say 1/2 year ago would not take advantage of a beta invite because they either lost interest or forgot about the game, whereas lurkers with more frequent site visits and very few/no posts are more likely to make use of a beta key.

Or maybe a system where keys only lasts certain days, then are disabled and recycled into the system, so that regardless of "last visits" that are in the distant past, the system more efficiently ensures that keys are actually being used.

Seriously. Last visit date shouldnt be more than 1 month. Its not fair to the people whove been regularly signing in and posting or atleast just signing in and lurking. Atleast theyve been active in some way.

We have ways to make the multiaccount issue fair.

I see people being invited who do use the forum. In our simulation, more forum users than lurkers get added.

It's prolly to early to tell (randomness) but so far it looks like a lot more lurkers are being added.

Okay, so it's at five minutes per account now and I see people being invited who do use the forum. In our simulation, more forum users than lurkers get added.

b) We're not just inviting people with zero posts. Forum users do stand a much better chance of getting in, it's just that they are outnumbered by other fans who signed up and haven't posted. It is fair for the other guys to get in too - many of them do read the forums (even when not logged in), and it would really suck to exclude them just because they haven't discussed the game with us yet.

i would rather say it's quite unfair that people with many posts and great forum activity do not receive the beta keys.
Are you so sure Chris that most of the people with 0 posts will even download the client and test? And write about bugs etc.?

Cuz i'm not so sure.

At least let the download link so we downloaded the client and not have to keep hoping that one day if we get the key.
