How about, "This guild will never work because Facepunch has never had a successful guild/clan."

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;16314065]When does Beta start?[/QUOTE] The original closed beta started aaaaages ago, maybe 3/4 of a year? the 10k giveout, well so far the one withe the earliest date is me on the 2nd of august, the open beta starts on the 20th i think

HOLY SHIT ON A STICK!!! I GOT MY FUCKING KEY!!! *Installing naow* [editline]03:31AM[/editline] oh yea the email, i got rid of the key and the beta site [quote] Hi Well, the day has finally dawned when we can give you your Champions Online beta key. This key is unique and should not be shared with anyone, as it will only work once! Please note that the code issued below is for the closed beta for Champions Online.

When you've had a chance to play, don't forget to drop by the GamerZines Champions Online forum and let us know what you think of the game: [url]http://www.gamerzines.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=14[/url] When you registered for the beta code, you may have also subscribed to one or more of our GamerZines newsletters.

Enjoy the Champions Online beta, and we hope you continue to enjoy our magazines. Regards The GamerZines Team [url]http://www.gamerzines.com/[/url] [/quote] [editline]03:38AM[/editline] i read the gamerzine forums, i read why i got mine 2 days early [quote]Well, these are going out as I type. The first 4000 will be sent in the next few minutes, if the date on your confirmation email said either the 1st or 2nd August then you should be receiving your key shortly. Due to the way that Cryptic are running the Beta the servers are only available for a limited period, the latest one runs out at 8am tomorrow morning. The Gamerzines team have decided to release the first of the keys a bit early so you can hopefully get some time in this testing phase. The remainder of the keys will be distributed before the next testing phase. I'm sorry that there's not much time available but this is the way that Cryptic have elected to run their beta program. If you've got a key I hope you'll enjoy playing and post your experiences here![/quote]
[QUOTE=RetaDepa;16246354]We have a much better chance on this than say WoW because it's just one global server.[/QUOTE] Problem is there are both villains and heroes. I'm sure most of us will go villains though, I know I will.
[QUOTE=mrkaki;16400909]Problem is there are both villains and heroes. I'm sure most of us will go villains though, I know I will.[/QUOTE] Uhm. No. You can ONLY be a hero. You can, however, design your nemesis (villain). However this nemesis is completely AI controlled.
Oh. Well that sucks and rules at the same time.
[QUOTE=mrkaki;16404472]Oh. Well that sucks and rules at the same time.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, they'll most likely be an expansion later that covers that.
[QUOTE=RetaDepa;16404678]Don't worry, they'll most likely be an expansion later that covers that.[/QUOTE] like it's previous game, City of Heroes started first before City of Villians, then it's new expansion, Going Rogue soon.
If I was going to get a key, would I have already got it by now? Basically if I haven't got one, is it safe to say I won't be getting one :(
Noone has got their keys yet (I think) I'm getting mine in 2 days. So just wait and you may get it. Can't wait. :D
[QUOTE=Exilion06;16420035]Noone has got their keys yet (I think) I'm getting mine in 2 days. So just wait and you may get it. Can't wait. :D[/QUOTE] I've had mine for a day now.
They had to split it up, if you got an email saying you were getting a key, then you are getting one on the date that was listed in the email. They sent some out early because Cryptic only does betas on Friday and Wednesday, so they let some people try it early. If you dont get a key and you DID get the email saying you were going to get one, I suggest emailing GamerZine and/or Cryptic.
I haven't got my key yet but I'll give it another day or so because the email stated 3rd of August.
[QUOTE=Dashiel;16431475]I haven't got my key yet but I'll give it another day or so because the email stated 3rd of August.[/QUOTE] You'll get it most likely in two or three days, as the beta opening times are only (commonly) on friday and wednesday, so they're just trying to spread it out so some people arent in a situation where they have their key but can't connect to the server the day they get it. Basically what Raidyr said.

[QUOTE=Ztriker7;16437708]Wait, so I'll get my key tommorow but I won't be able to play until wednesday?[/QUOTE] No, you'll most likely get it on either tuesday or wednesday. It'll at least give you time to patch up and play the beta on the same day.
I see. Thank you, kind sir.
Get mine the 4th can't fucking wait, the game was amazing when I had an account.
Ugh! It's telling me I am not allowed to join the server. When's the next playtest?
