Ok.. so I went to scope out the beta registration and it says you need an account key to proceed.

WTF?!

I've been playing since 1999 and lord KNOWS where my original discs are. Why can't they just look at my station information to get my account status/verification?


Am I overlooking something blatantly obvious?

Colcannon - did you get to the terms and conditions page or did it ask you for the account key right off the bat?

I looked at the site this morning before work (GMT +10 here) clicked on the beta link, clicked OK to terms and conditions page... email was sent to me with details on how to download beta patcher. Started the patcher and left for work... will pop home at lunch to see if I can log in or not.

I clicked on the beta app and it said please supply account key. I also was signed in with my Station account. This was abou 6:19 this evening...\


Ok.. this is odd. I cannot find the beta link anywhere now.. it was there HONEST! :)

At any rate, had you already pre-ordered and flagged your OoW as active?



Edit: ok.. here we go.

It's a beta key. They send you the key with your invite...

Yes on both counts which in hind sight would probably explain why I managed to get straight to the download.

And you're not going nuts... the link was removed from the front page of the EQlive site.

They only had the beta app up for a short time. I didn't preorder OOW, but was able to apply simply by logging in. Now that the 'general' invite is down, the only way to register there is if you were on the invite list, in which case you received an account key (my guess is that this applies to the guilds they are inviting).
