Cant kill myself yet. Retail hasn't shipped yet.
It boggles my mind at how just one person every few hours says they - or 'their friend' got a random code. I highly doubt if SE was going to 'toggle' the code page on and off, they wouldn't do so for 15 seconds and that's it. Seems like a complete waste of the IT teams time to constantly keep enabling/disabling the page.
I'm hoping there will be a set of keys today, same time as yesterday.
More QQ: I stayed up til 4am my time when stuff was supposed to open, I got to the login page when the button popped, but when I tried to log in everything had already crashed (apparently). Then sat there trying unil 7:30am after which I fell asleep, randomly waking up every 1-1.5hr and tried to log in a few times and went back to sleep.. Continously got the server is busy or maint thing. I did this all the way up to noon when I dragged myself out of bed and had a ton of coffee. Been trying about 5 to 15min since.. I'm having big hopes for the 24hr mark in about 5min tho. /staypositive /staypositive /drinkmorecoffee
Still, I'm seriously sad in the pants/frustrated with this nonsense, mostly referring to the lack of information.
Guess camping fileplanet keys was just practice for this. Any twitter feed we can have pushed to our phones so we can endanger the safety of others trying to type in our SE accounts while we're driving on the highway?
All SE needs to do is say that they wont be releasing beta keys for at least X amount of hours.
That way, even if they exceed those amount of hours, all they need to do is repost another estimated time.
Would be far less troublesome than coming back to the computer every 10 mins to refresh a beta app login page.
I'm lucky in that a laptop sits right next to me at work all day, but others aren't in the same boat. /=
I got a code for myself around 4:30am this morning and a code for my girlfriend an hour or two after that. Don't know about anyone else during the day but I don't have anything to gain by bullshitting.
edit: working on getting a code for my friend now so I'll say something if I get through.
I was mainly referring to people who've said they got some recently - there was more then quite a few people who said they got some at the same time frame as yours; I think that's about the time they just 'shut it off' and it hasn't been 'turned back on'. There was a few hundred people who said they got keys through that time - which is a lot more believable then 1 person who said their friend got one at x time - and no one else did.
Well at least it's really easy to get to the "temporarily suspended" page now. Think people are giving up or have they widened the server limit for those pages?
It's been cycling though out the entire day in 'blocks' as far as I can tell. Every so often I'll go from not ever being able to get to the login page(get a server is busy error), to being able to login and get to the suspended page, and about 2 5 minute blocks I got nothing but mait. pages. Little frustrating when SE doesn't want to release a press release on what their 'master plan' is. 'Check back later' just turns into a huge cop-out and is pretty annoying, luckily I work from a computer most of the day so I can keep it tabbed up; I feel bad for people sitting at home F5'ing hoping it will jsut randomly come up lol.
It actually hasn't given me the error page in the last half hour either. Maybe that's something? Still ultimately leads to the suspended page but.. yeah.
If we wanna talk about QQ, I've never had to lock so many fucking retarded threads. I seriously want to know what part of the human genome maps to HAY I HAVE >25 POSTS ANNA RLY RLY IMPORTENT QUESTION THATS BEEN AXED LIKE MILLIONS TIMES HEY LOOK NEW THREAD BUTTAN.
Thank god you didn't get a code yet so you can watch the forums and prune as needed, right?
I can only say that because I'm sad and codeless too, it's like the N word.
