Corruption at MMORPG?

Seeing the shady way the WoD Beta keys were given out today and the fact that Bill Murphy wasn't on hand to supervise this, do you guys think someone sold out the info about the beta keys to gold selling company? We didn't hear anything for a while, now we get a poorly spelled apology that seems to contradict what many people are saying as they waited for the keys.

 

There have been people who were sitting on the link to the old beta keys that say they got some so what do you guys think? Poorly executed giveaway or someone on the inside selling out?

    what is WoD? 

    World of Darkness but that game was canceled.

     

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    Please do not respond to me

    I didn't want to start a hype myself as a new member, mainly because I didn't want to ruin the credibility of the MMORPG.com and because I'm prolly driven by the emotions, but I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking the same...

    Mr Murphy should revise the whole scenario that happened today!

    Corruption over beta keys, what the. I wouldnt be surprised though.
  • moguy2moguy2 Member Posts: 337

    Dont stop there. You should openly just accuse everyone on the team of BEING gold sellers . Then blame them for gas prices. Hell dont stop there. Anything bad related to the world , THEY did!! OMG!!

     

    Seriously though, has to be the most retarded thing I have read in a while. Thanks for the laugh

    They just go fast. It's like the Hero box keys or whatever. I had no interest in that game. I saw the keys up and within an hour or so thought maybe I'll grab one and check the game out. Went back and they were gone and threads were everywhere about it.  If it's something people are interrested in don't expect them to last very long when you factor in word of mouth / friends.  Keys to games that no one wants sit for days or weeks unclaimed.

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    I read their explanation. It sounds plausible to me.   I don't see a conspiracy here.

     

    I know this is extremely important, but people will still have plenty of opportunities to get keys so they can escape a dying Earth on the only ship. No wait..... I mean: play a video game.

    Its people like this that sign up for everything and probably wont even use them or people like this that will eventually sell on ebay or try and trade them.

     

  • fascismfascism Member UncommonPosts: 428
    im not going to sell them, because i dont think they have any real value

    Theres one simple solution: next time make them "claimable" by active users with 1000+ posts

    But otherwise they are claimed by bots then sold on ebay.  Doesnt it defeat even bigger part of promotions purpose?

    ROFL, all these conspiracy theories. They re just a damn key to let you play a beta for a games expansion that ISN T EVEN OUT YET. Do people really need to know the content before it s released.
  • sumdumguy1sumdumguy1 Member RarePosts: 1,373
    Ok I am the conspiracy.  I purposefully got as many as I could to sell them on ebay for a pretty penny.  I also offered one for services from a hooker and also used one to get a full tank of gas.  These things are like gold I tell you!  :)

    I doubt it. The vast majority of the rage comes from people who created their accounts just for the beta key giveaway. 

    I think people should look at it this way - if you get a key, you were very lucky. A lot of people thought they would get a key if they sat there refreshing. Those keys go extremely quickly.

    The site just got hammered. They will do better next time. It's shocking how much people want to play this beta. People must be obsessed with WoW despite all the hate comments we read.

    Ummmmmmm, hello!!! So what you're suggesting is that just because I spend my entire welfare check at Wal-Mart doesn't guarantee that I'll win their RANDOM monthly draw for a honey ham? That's just not right, sir.

    /sarcasm

     

    There's a whole 90 levels worth of content for those looking for a fix. Based on my ample experience with the game, you can expect WoD to be similar to all the expansions. Basically, people will hate them, WoD will be ruining the game, and it will be completely uninspired and pointless and you won't know why you even play the game because it's crap. Then you'll proceed to pre-purchase the expansion and subscribe for a year in advance without letting anyone know, because if you did you'd lose that "edgy" attitude that everything is so fond of.

    I'd say that the forum crowd isn't really the target audience for these, especially considering their overwhelming display of negativity toward WoW, AAA titles, and "games for the masses". The target audience is probably new and existing site visitors, most of which never visit the forums.

    Mr Mogawe from the bank of Nigeria would certainly like one...

     

    and the famous black magic baba-rama guru...

    actually, he's billed as the "WORLD famous black magic baba guru" ! image

     

    if you have no idea what the above reference is about, you obviously don't read the MMORPG forums outside of the admin's working hours...

    If these Beta keys are in such incredibly strong demand, they'll most likely fetch a pretty penny on e-bay ?

    Well, BABA is also spamming mmo-champ , arena-junkies and some other wow related forums. :)

    ROFL, my thought exactly.  You'd swear they stole someone's inheritance or killed baby seals.

    It's a stupid beta key for a video game folks, get some perspective.

    If the beta keys didn't actually work, then I'd suspect corruption.  No, not corruption of people, silly.
