I would love to get in the betas for Neverwinter. Buying a different game, that I won't play, just for a Neverwinter beta key isn't something that will happen however.
*puffs on a pipe and cheers a mug in the air*
Here's to hoping that my years of playing Cryptic and Perfect World games matters in getting an invite, as well as my continued playing and enjoyment of the Forgotten Realms campaign for almost twenty years now - in a myriad of forms. I know I am one of many, I can still hope. Indeed! Best of luck to other 'Realms fans.

Unfortunately, that was a complete waste of time and a continued disappointment. Yeah, I loathe Eberron immensely. Never wanted to go there by Spelljammer, let alone through the internet. I thank the gods that I may yet live to see the Realms open on the MMO genre in this plane.
This 'Neverwinter' will most likely become the only MMO I will endulge, finally (hopefully) keeping me from going back to all these past worlds I keep leaving again - and again - all while waiting for Abeir-Toril to come to me, since I am bound from going to it."

I know that all those people asking where to get beta keys, as if the answer was not three posts above them,are getting very annoying indeed, but... was this thread really necessary?

Ahh lighten up Vin Its all in good fun.
Hey if it attracts attention to Truths thread, than I consider that a win.
Until Cryptic gets off its HAMSTER and actually puts more than five minutes a month into this forum... be glad we have a community willing to stick around and try to chuckle a bit ...
Unfortenly im affraid we will have to wait much more time then we expected to get beta keys.... its seems beta will only start at the end of the summer and if we miss that we can only get open beta at end of the year lol so for some of us we will probably have a long waittttt.....
Lets just keep throwing our thoughts at the forum and maybe we can actually contribute something to the game

Hmmm, how to respond to the mean but not serious jab at the Beta key poking, and the difficulty since he referenced my stickied thread....
When in Doubt, (like Andre) go Seussian:
I felt this thread was kind of mean
yet my refer was also keen.
When people want to get a key
they learn something, and it's from me!
But at what cost, was this done here
Is it right to do that jeer?
We're acting out without all facts
and too much hate causes retracts.
Yet, I see little reply
from staff 'til when, after July?
But I cannot be a troll,
even if it makes them roll.
Patience and persistence rule
while meanness makes you look the Fool.
Demand more but do not sink
into the harassing slip-slope brink.
Show the cake...err, key implied
is coming, and not just lied.
Let's be nice to Cryptic but
demand more than their replies thus shut.
We ask Cryptic speak to us
and we'll be civil when they do thus.
You all do this, we'll have your back
you want more answers, go read my FAQ!
There, an important message with a "rude" self-promoting jab at myself so I don't take myself too seriously by appearing "egotistical."
Just everybody take everything in fun and open-mindedness please, thanks.
After reading all this, before somebody else asks this question, I would rather ask it myself so I don't have to faint again.
So, what to do to get a bet key?
LOL!!
I was waiting for it in fact! Ya know, these questions and your (and my) reaction reminds me of a certain news story I saw years ago about Myotonic goats.. I believe we've uncovered another potential root cause of a rather peculiar "stiffening of the muscles" of this esoteric animal!
Hmmm, how to respond to the mean but not serious jab at the Beta key poking, and the difficulty since he referenced my stickied thread....
When in Doubt, (like Andre) go Seussian:
Very good stuff. I admit, just having some fun here. Even though you show calm, I know you wish PW/Cryptic was much more active on the forum and engaged the community more.
I still give Storm props (its really not his fault folks), and most of us want a kick HAMSTER game. But its naturally in my personality to poke some fun, as long as nobody gets hurt...
Most importantly, I promise no animals were hurt in the making of the last video I posted

Better get used to it. There is gonna be all walks of life who think they know how to better to design a game even though it takes after a themepark mmo and has no relation to D&D an might even be counter intuitive to it. Wait till closer to release and as the hype for the game reaches it's peak. Being F2P and of good/high quality is gonna attrack droves of consumers whoprolly don't even know what D&D stands for.

This is very true. Could be a coup for the D&D brand name, or a cause a glut of gamers who couldn't give three craps about D&D. The deciding factor will lay with PW/Cryptic. How and who they promote the game to, and most importantly not to distance itself too far away from D&D. They have to walk that fine line that its not a carbon copy of 4e, yet made as close as possible considering the pros and cons of MMO play. If they walk too far away, or walk too close, there will be a mess.

Actually I think its nice. People when they come to forums search for the word "beta key" in the topic of posts first rather than go to FAQ. A thread like that is very informative to all those.
Apart from the fact, as andre already pointed out, to bring smiles to our faces.
That said;

A barely known gaming site AggroGamer gets "the scoop" and NONE of the established websites/paper press dont? Then he doesnt name the source? I dont believe that date until I read it from straight from an actual moderator.
Now the entire time Ive beent thinking they will release the CB late and have the open beta live around the date they said the game would release, thereby buying them some more time, while saving face at least partially. I totally would not be surprised in the least if this is how it goes down.
That's a complete guess on my part, and I believe Mr AggroGamer was not only thinking out loud, but adding in false propaganda... unless the highly unlikely event an employee slipped up under questioning
Oh for sure, Big Mon i see what you saying, even thought it myself, now that we see 2 links in granmazzo's post stating beta in september and then now october, the thing was i saw the post about beta giveaways and wanted to put that up as i thought it should be seen wether its bogus or not as we hadnt seen or heard about any giveaways up until this point outside cryptic/PWE.
Yeah, where did this Beta date come from? Grain of salt taken. Prove me wrong and it goes up on my FAQ though.
Not trying to troll man, just saw it thought it needed to be posted, found it while trying to research more neverwinter info, also found something else but it would only cheese people off (cheese'd me), So i took that down.

Oh yeah, not being negative to you in any way, but all skeptical on that author's listed date. How's that go? "Screenshot or it never happened?" Well, "Dev quote or it never is released then." I fully hear what you're saying as I was looking for more info on a quote about the Dungeon Delve's quick playabiility and I found an article listing their look pull system at the end, so yeah, we find our gems where we find em. Such a thing ws soo good, I made a RAID FAQ and loot pull FAQ with it on my New Users FAQ link.
But the treasure they pulled they witnessed, unlike the beta date mentioned before which we know nothing where that date was 'created" from.

That's exactly what I thought you meant, thanks for grabbing the article, it still serves a purpose as what he "states" may actually come to fruition I also dont put it past an employee to accidentally slip out the forecasted "date."
As Truth said, at this point its just a grain of salt.
Makes me remember the old interview with level 0. Remember that?
And so considering that level 0 fiasco, I agree with andre and truth - rather than grain I would advise bucket of salt if it is not from official source.
Oops! I threw the bucket of salt in that lake thread... nvm
