I'm sorry to all you friends on here that didn't get in, but yeah.. definitely check your emails :')my dick is so raw right now just from seeing the email

In other news, I can confirm the 2 keys for friends is a real thing. Apparently it must just be random who gets it.

yeah i didnt get any keys =/

How's the game for the people that managed to get in?

is there a list somewhere of the people in beta?

No, but there's alist of people who aren't(though some names need to be removed).

So, I've only got 2 email addresses, signed up with both. Got in with my main email a few weeks ago, with the two friend invites, gave the 2 extra out. Just got in with my work email, single user invite, no friend passes.

Now, I'm going to give it away here, but I'm trying to think of a clever way without just posting the code.

My original thought was "Maybe I can give it to an admin in exchange for changing my join date to 0001 or something fantastic." but, not only is that probably not likely, it excludes so many of you.

I'm now thinking maybe someone could draw something hilarious, or photoshop something, or hell, maybe just seeing ONOES plastered across some boobs would be fantastic.

I think that's just going to be the contest. First person to post something that I think is awesome, gets the code. Awesome being subjective! Also, its a win for everyone, while being a short derail, maybe we all get some entertainment.

Sooooooooo.... BEGIN!

If they apply that code to their account, will they see your e-mail or theirs all over the screen. If you can even do that.

They will see theirs I believe, because here is the email text -

Greetings, Citizen of Nexus!

Sweeping changes have been made to the game since you last saw it, including:

A new Challenge system. Earning gold/silver/bronze will now increase the chance of winning your selected reward. All challenge rewards loot has also been rebalanced across the entire game.
A new quest system! Quests now use progress bars to quantify completion.
Open mob tagging is now implemented. Helping another player kill a creature will grant you relative XP/quest progress based on your contribution.
The Arkships are here! Character creation now begins at level 1 and you'll be able to run through these tutorial zones before you reach Nexus.
Time To Kill has been significantly decreased for all creatures.
Creatures now both telegraph more frequently and (most) creatures now have a greater variety of telegraphs to use.
TONS OF POLISH! Our team has worked tirelessly over the last four months to kill thousands of bugs, improve game performance, and build amazingly cool new systems. It's a whole new world out there!

It only shows watermarked numbers which I assume are linked to your account.

Well... off to a slow start? I'm going to bed, will someone win while I sleep, we'll find out in the morning!

I suppose it's not breaking any NDA since you can tell from the videos, but if you can get over the cartoonish style, the world is fucking beautiful.

I've never understood hate for cartoonish style. As long as a style is consistent and well done, I like any style. But whatevs.

I always like it better due to games that try to be realistic looking, you notice the errors more, they seem more pronounced when you try to be realistic and inevitably fail than if you go for a stylistic approach.

For me it's still personal taste. I dont condemn cartoony right away, but personally WoW works better for me as a style because I dont like the stick-figure arms/legs I see in some Wildstar videos. The Wildstar world probably looks better anyway simply because most of WoW's world was made 10 years ago, but character/creature design is another matter.

Funny... I thought the world looked a little dated. Draw distance felt super short too.

Peanuts are neither peas nor are they nuts! They are actually legumes!
And as a bonus I heard from a wise sage owl it only takes 3 bites to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

Remember, the people who give your keys to can get you in trouble if they break the NDA. Hand out codes with caution.

I think he specifically said it was a fresh key to his work email, not a friend key. Unfortunately I am not female and do not have man boobs, nor do i wish to try and draw penises with highlighters in paint.

So Onoes I shall give you the gift of humor I did from from ages past (I can only imagine Wildstar will be similar with space xmas! theme). Yes I did mail out 150 coals individually.
