How Long Did It Take You To Receive Your Beta Key?

Kfpm · Post by **Kfpm** » Sat Sep 06, 2008 8:41 am

Preordered WAR from the online store last night, with the promise of all the goodies you get. However, whilst the order has been confirmed by the EA store I still have no sign of the BETA key. How long did it take anyone who pre-ordered on here to receive theirs? Just wanna make sure i'm not being done over.

Thankies,
KFPM.

PS Tanoth is the one to join for the guild then?

If you pre-ordered in person from a physical store they should be handed to you on the spot.
If you pre-ordered online they should be sent to you immediately. But they are not sent as e-mail, but in a cd-case. So you'll have to wait however long post takes.

Ohhhhh 0.0 Thanks!
Sorry, it's just so unexpected to think anything comes via snail mail these days

Hey, I had to wait for my open beta codes for almost half year!
Comes from pre-ordering on the day they were available

Same as me hehe. Mines been sitting in its little cd case next to my PC. Tomorrow at 8.30 it will have a purpose.

Does it make me amazingly sad that I've set an alarm in the morning for this?

Yes!

just kidding

the more people log on at 8:30 the more chance of my prediction happening.

Dalamar's Prediction: by 10am GOA website will be taken down due to connection overload because they are crap and opened account registration for *thousands* of people on the same day OB starts.

So I ordered from Gamestop and I have to pay when I pick it up. Will I still receive a beta code?

No idea, you might want to ask them that. If you don't get it till you get the games itself then I don't think you'll get much use outof it.

gamestop physical or gamestop online?
physical - you should get it on the spot so go make a noise about it.
online - they should send them to you immediately considering beta starts this afternoon.

Any onw had any trouble. Can't see the option for it on the site, and it seems it wont let me log in.

If you're from europe go do something else. GOA messed up (not to swear) and the login page is not working... a few hours before beta start. whee.

I received my EU codes over two months ago
I received my US codes about a month ago
I could input my US codes *on the same day*
I still can't input my EU codes.

Go figure.

You guys are just making me want it more now

. Looks like the CD won't come till monday at the very latest. I'm even downloading the beta client just for something to do!

.

I guess thats what I get for ordering a copy from EA on friday. It would've been nice for me to get an email saying it was coming by post though. At least i'll be able to get straight on when it comes. And a headstart! Of three whole days

I ordered it online so the Beta code should be in the mail right? RIGHT?!

Right

But if you ordered directly from EA double and triple check on them... it seems EA store has some problems with sending beta codes.

Great.....finally got the beta key and now it tells me "the format of my login is invalid." ANy ideas?

Be careful with the upper and lower case on your letters. It can be a bit picky at times.

Damn EA.....how many more fiery hoops must i jump through?
Registered key, but not upon sign in i get an authentication error. I assume I await an email telling me the key has been processed -.-

Which has now taken almost 24 hours, and still no sign.

GAH!

Thanks for listening to my rants anyway.

I've ordered from Eastore and got my codes in an email a few days later, that was back in March or May I think?
