Quote:There has been a miriad of problems concerning people correctly getting their beta keys, which is a shame considering the release is only a month away and the game must ne packaged and shipped sooner than that. I am one that has preordered and not recieved the key yet. I am really not that excited about the game in the first place and this is not revving my engine, so to speak. I also created an account two months ago that has apparently been deleted (I got tired of waiting for preorder information that never came via email as I had subscribed to). There was an activation link in my original email that only took me to a broken page. I have emailed flagship about it to no response (there is no direct contact info through hellgatelondon.com without an account either). Not impressed.
P.S. I typed this from my new iPhone. Click click click.
I'm in the stress test / beta. I'm not sure about what happened with your account from months ago, but the beta keys actually run quite smoothly now. What isn't clear (it's buried in the FAQ) is that they're releasing the beta keys in waves. This results in a really annoying sensation of pre-order (feels like a purchase, even at $5), register your account and ...wait.
In my case, it was three days before the next wave: if I hadn't been leaving on a business trip, it would have been terribly annoying. As it was, I came back and only had to slog through an hour of patching and troubleshooting before I could play;)
