Just consider this purposal which is i think the oppinon of the most people here who are waiting for a beta key! So... because you wanted to have a key for a while, people who just find out about this game shouldn't get a chance to be a part of it? As u say, so many people want to be part of beta testing good games. Doesn't give you more right just because you been "here" longer.	Posted by bitsjie on Aug 29, 2011, 8:59:59 AM Quote this Post
And it'll get worse everyday because there are more people registering than people getting picked. So day by day we have to have more faith at the veteran timer. And I don't even know if I am a veteran myself, because just a few days after I registered I went on holidays. T__T What a twisted world where I have to say: SCREW YOU EXPENSIVE, AWESOME HOLIDAY !!! Good Luck! May the key be with you! Last edited by Forfeit on Aug 29, 2011, 9:39:33 AM	Posted by Forfeit on Aug 29, 2011, 9:38:17 AM Quote this Post

I didn't even log in; I can read the news and forums without doing that. So, I was a one-time visitor (logger) before the beta. Now that it's started, I'm logged in every day and posting on the forums. It's completely unfair to remove a group of accounts simply because they didn't stay logged in or post something. The system is imbalanced towards the people who did post, anyway. This is indeed something I hear very frequently from the silent majority of signed up people. They may not post it on the forum like this gentleman, but they do want to play. Good to know the developers acknowledge our existance and stuation. Not being a veteran based on participance on the boards before the Beta does kind of suck, but that's just the way it is. If it ain't us who is unhappy, there will be others. Keeping my fingers crossed here still :) where there is a will, there is a way! gogo BETA FTW! :P or something....	Posted by raul125 on Aug 29, 2011, 10:05:08 AM Quote this Post

I am perfectly fine with the timer tbh. If in addition mods pass out beta keys to valuable members of the forum, I am also all for it (rather than passing out CD keys to mysterious strangers at Pax & Co). I am daily checking my mailbox to see whether I am selected for the D3 beta or the PoE beta. My fate for the next couple of weeks and months depends on it! Stay hoopy!

" Chris wrote: Multiple accounts don't improve your chances of getting into beta. Tens of thousands of signed up accounts haven't logged back in but do visit the site frequently from the same IP (hence making the account look inactive). We're looking into ways we can improve the counter to keep it fair for everyone but still helping the active forum people get rewarded for their effort :) Great info to know. I was starting to wonder when I see inactive accounts recieving beta keys through the timer system. Also, timer system idea is great. Keep it up.

One important thing to remember here is that they've invited more than twice as many people as they planned to. So, even if 1/2 of the invites are wasted, they have about the number of testers they wanted. I count myself very lucky to be in the beta. Closed Beta/Alpha Tester back after a 10-year hiatus. Kiwi pets and Spark spam FTW. Last edited by WhiteBoy on Aug 29, 2011, 10:31:43 AM	Posted by WhiteBoy on Aug 29, 2011, 10:31:11 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
