I find it extremely disappointing and frankly a slap in the face of the people liking their facebook page, where there was no reference to any hidden code inserted in the blog post. I and many others chose to like their facebook because we don't use twitter, that's the beauty of having multiple social media platforms, you can related and spread news on several outlets at the same time for a lot of people. However, they only posted about it on twitter, and now the code isn't working anymore, so yeah, that was nice.

code isn't working anymore. already run out or what?
Based on posting times it looks like the code was working for about 5 hours from when it was (I assume) announced on Twitter.
I've found a few in time, missed a few. The "technique", it would seem, would be to try to read every News article as soon as possible after it is published, looking for a code announcement at the bottom.
Some suggestions for monitoring the articles:
1) Have the News page open in a separate browser tab or window while you are online. Keeping an eye on it can be a challenge, though.
2) Network with friends or guildmates while online to help notify each other when a "code" article is published.
3) Watch the NWO Facebook page for someone mentioning code sightings. (Do people really give away the location? That kinda takes the fun out of it).
4) If today is any indication, monitor the NWO Twitter account for announcements.
5) Use an RSS reader to subscribe to NWO News (the subscribe link is at the bottom of all News article pages). I believe there are readers that will even notify you when articles are published (as of your next reader sync) -- and there are probably apps for your phone to do the same.
Hard to get to them all in time, but where there's a will, there's a way to get some of them anyway.
I read the blog this morning and no code. then a few hours later I saw there was a code via this thread and went back. The code was in there, where it wasn't before.
So basically,... seeing a blog post is not garuntee. they could modify it at any time to add a code.

ANd is there a way to redeem it on ARC 'cause i saw it and was trying to redeem it but nothin it's incorrect. Do you succeed?
I tried for over 30 minutes to put in the code and it doesn't work, keeps saying its "invalid." Yes, I found it and yes I'm entering it in correctly. Just sent an email to Support so let's see what happens? ((started putting in the code today at 11 PM - PST))

I hope the Dervish title appears again. The keys seemed to disappear in record time, and the title's pretty snazzy.
Much like the rest, I found the code, but it seems to have been well expended by the time I did.
I did some searching but can't find any mention of it (other then an old prestige class). Hopefully somebody can fill us in.
Yeah I found that too , a Prestige class from PnP or Neverwinter nights or something , I'd also love to know where it is from I wonder if it was a staff member or something maybe?

Has anybody else stopped being able to claim the Pale Horse and Stormraider Horse even having previously entered the code and been able to claim it? I'm literally *riding* around on the Pale Horse that I claimed way back with my main but now none of my other old characters can claim it anymore and it has the same notation at the claim vendor as if I had never had the code.
UPDATE: It *does* still get mailed to my newly created characters.
Well, technically that thread seems to be more about "valid" codes not initially enabling the mount on the account. The code still is properly enabled on my account, as brand new characters I make are still successfully mailed the mount (I made a temporary warlock to verify this as the case). But usually I don't keep a promotional item I can't use for 19+ levels on a character: I nuke them and then claim when actually needed.
Have any other items started doing this? I sure don't want to have to start stockpiling duplicates of random promotional items on every character just on the off chance that someday that character might want to use them.

Please feel free to make a bug report thread on it. I'll forward this to the Devs anyway though. Thanks!

Good but confusing find. They posted about the code 2-3 hours ago, though people apparently saw the title several days ago. And the claim page still talks about a different title. I have to wonder if there is another source as well.
I made an account for this site several days ago. As of this posting they still have not sent me an activation code. Yes, I requested another one. This site told me they do not like yahoo. Well too darn bad. I have a very public yahoo email with my game names for places like this. I have a very private email, that I use for private and professional needs. The yahoo acct is used to let the data miners send junk to an account i do nor care about, while preserving my privacy. With the amount of personal information this site asked for, plus refusing to confirm the yahoo acct, I warn others that this site seems more interested in data mining.
All that being said they added 5k more codes.

Title is: Dervish

Vanguard pack, and Dragonstalker title.
Much like the rest, I found the code, but it seems to have been well expended by the time I did.
Just a new title?
Booring.
Hey, free is free. Don't look a gift dragon in the mouth!
No clue, and haven't seen it. Did you send them a PM to ask?
Yeah I found that too , a Prestige class from PnP or Neverwinter nights or something , I'd also love to know where it is from

I found that this title was a promo from this web: http://lorehound.com/game/neverwinter/?page=beta unfortunately there are no more keys left, I took the last two of them, I only used one...

Nice work, how did you find it? This is the first I have seen it.
That one was tweeted out a couple of days ago.
