We’ve all been waiting for the beta to come. Sadly it is limited to 5000 players only.
Since the keys will be randomly distributed to 5000 people out of 8400 users (current registered users count at 07/28/2015, 07:57 PM GMT +1) and the number is rising by every hour that passes, our chances of getting a beta key will go down drastically. This numbers are caused by users who sign up on multiple accounts to give theirselves an advantage of obtaining a key.
Let’s say we hit 20.000 accounts by friday, 31th of july.
Your chance of getting a beta key will only be 25%.
So here are my solutions to this problem:
-
Give those players that registered on this site before the anouncement of the news update (!!!) a free 100% guaranteed key. Up until the news anouncement, there were less than 2000 users registered at this site. So this means we would still have 3000+ keys left which can still be distributed randomly to those that registered after the news anouncement of the international beta.
-
Force every user to confirm his/her beta key by email within 12 hours. If the user does not confirm his beta key, he will lose it and it will be immediately assigned to someone else.
-
Some people share an internet connection (like if they have siblings or other persons who try to play the game from the same connection). As such, allow only a maximum of 3 (three) sign ups from the same IP address and remove everything that’s above that number from the beta key distribution process.
I hope you agree with me on these points.
Cheers,
