Beta

[ZiZiL 7]

I have pre-ordered the game and not received a key. I am not very happy at the moment. If I do not receive a key by tomorrow morning, i am seriously considering returning my pre-order and not purchasing the game at all. I want to own a game from a company who keeps its promises.

Those who had keys before from the last BETA do we need a new one or no ?

You'll need a new key.

if I got the new key, will it be needed to redownload everything?

You'll need a new key.

But on the website it says this:

Q: I've already registered for the previous beta, do I need register again?

A: No, if you've already registered, you do not have to register again.

Why did I have to be away thr one day that they seemed to be giving every man and his dog a beta key Oh well....

I pre-ordered a few weeks back through Amazon and participated in the first beta.  However, I didn't get a new email with a key for the 2nd beta.  But I contacted Amazon's customer service (using chat) and was able to get my beta key from them instantly.  I love their customer service department (they've never failed me yet).

I've just tried to get a beta key through amazon chat but to no avail

I'm annoyed that I have to wait till 1am on a Sunday morning to play the second BETA. It's not my fault I live in one of the first time zones on the globe

I need some key, please

 Better than waiting until 4am for the other beta.

Waar kun je eigenlijk de BETA downloaden? Als je dus geen KEY heb.

[brynhyfryd 222]

Are there any more keys?

 

Would like to give this game a try but getting a key seems impossible.

I have pre-ordered and they did not even send me my key dude. I am on wait on origin chat support for 45 minutes now. It says remaining wait time 70 minutes. This is just crazy. I will see if I can get my key from them.

You should have no problem as long as you pre-ordered before the cutoff date. I got my key that way as well.

[hunkske 53]

Taking a long time to download game data... Oh well......

[The_City_Builder 299]

Didn't it say you didn't have to register again if you participated and downloaded Beta 1?

 

Why is it still grayed out in my origin client?...

[memedoug85 36]

Went really fast after posting that... It's taken just over an hour but..... here.... i.... go

[UbiquitousUK 1]

I received my key about 10 minutes ago, so don't give up hope!

[Herdervriend 46]

Oeps talked Dutch while I had to talk English, sorry.

 

All keys that are already shared online, are they all taken already?

Is the beta just today, or tomorrow?

And how to install the game? Can't seem to find it on origin:S

I think you need a new client if you're trying to download the first beta client. Are you trying to download the first SC Client?

Did you pre-order or just register for beta.

 

I registered for beta but don't think anyone in UK has got a key yet.

I only registered for the beta (last weekend), and am in the UK. The email (which came at 15:19) says the beta is live from 2pm GMT. I guess they wont give them out all at once in order to try to manage the server load.

OK. I will have to wait and hope an email comes through but not looking good though.  

Did not want to pre-order as I wanted to try the game out first to see if its any good.

 

Thanks for letting me know and hope you enjoy the beta. 

[memedoug85 36]

I am too tired to stay up but from what I've seen the only difference between the first beta and the second is the availability of another city tile... Oh and if you've already completed the tutorial, you'll have to go thru that again... Can't wait to test neighbor connections tomorrow.... Yay

hey, those of you who pre-ordered through origin. I just got my code. So hopefully you will get one soon as well.
