How about some contest to give beta keys?

The present method is very sedate, just waiting and doing nothing. Many have voiced their unhappiness about inactive members getting them vs active ones not getting them.

By all means, keep that process but introduce additional activities to give away more beta keys. That would generate some more buzz here.

Indeed, totally agreed.

There can be people that haven't logged in for months and still be around just checking if he's got a new email and when is it coming open beta.

But there's a bigger chance that inactive users are really inactive, because if you were interested, you would log in and see what's up.

Yet if GGG wants to keep it like this, they should actually care about their community giving more chances to the currently active users and not just give a batch of 5 codes in twitter every 24 hours. that's not going to work too good.

People are already desperate, and everything got a limit and when it reach the limit something that you don't want to happen will happen.

This is all disrespect to all the active people. why would you want to leave apart your active people? where is the fun at? where is the point? I still want these solutions next to be done. (from this thread: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1753/)

After X amount of time, a script should run checking which beta key code that was sent but haven't been used in the last 24hours (per example, a fair amount of time would be 48hours at max) then that key should be sent instantly to the next active user (someone that logged in 2 days ago per example), so then we avoid to keep inviting users that no longer want to play this game, users that lost faith in this game or gods know why, for what ever reason.

But incase it happens, like the server reach a big amount of people, a big number, there are solutions, like just accepting X amount of connections (players) that connect to the server box through X port, which would be the game server port.

so then we all have a chance to log in game when someone goes to sleep per example.

Good point, I thing is not fair when i click on the person that is getting the beta key in minutes and the last check date is the same as the one that they created their account. People that are looking up for the game like me and many others should be picked and handed beta keys.

I saw a person who get the key but last visited was 5 months ago, so i agree with this statement

Yep, would like a contest without twitter, facebook in it and for non specialists in certain professional software. Something, which requiring creativity, brains, but doable without "pro" skills.

Beta members hold these kinds of contests regularly to give out their spare keys.
