Horizons Beta - DLed, installed...no CD key?

Truespeed · 09-08-2003, 11:53 AM

Folks,

To begin I was extremely excited when I got the 2 emails from Monica regarding Horizons. One was my acceptance letter, the other one regarding the missing beta testers and the two new shards being released etc.

Like a good testers I followed the instructions to the "T". Download the suggested FTP program, DLed the huge zip file, installed the client software as well registered it as a beta tester etc.

After all that was done I went to go create my new account, newp, needed a CD key. Reflecting back on the acceptance email I was to get my CD key from my beta test profile here on the site. I log in and BAMMM no CD key!

This being Friday night I did not expect any type of fast response so I sent the admin an email regarding my CD key.

Admins, please assign us lackies some CD keys at your nearest possible convenience.

P.S. I did notice that the application for creating a new account was bouncing in and out of service all weekend.

Not that I could of created an account without my CD key....

I wish it was that easy. It appears that my account is still in a pending queue. Cut and paste straight form my betatest.net account here is the proof. =(

But yet I got my acceptance letter, username and password for the FTP server etc on Thursday night @ 630 pm est along with that additional email about the missing beta testers etc.

By looking at all the posts at various locations this is not a new issue and has happened before. I hope they can resolve this quickly so I can get in a start to test ASAP.

I have the exact same problem Truespeed. I just assumed it was because of that problem written about on the main page of betatests, but I thought that was supposed to be fixed by now

Do you by chance have two betatest.net accounts? If so, try the other one, it may be on there.
