Ok, I was patient... I've thus far not waded into Goa or joined in the flaming. I entered my Beta Key as soon as the code page became available this afternoon some 11 hours ago, using the old account details. (The one I used to get news letters from). After waiting some 10 hours, I read on a diffrent forum that peeps have entered their details multiple times in order to get a faster response. Well frankly I'd waited long enough. I paid for my open beta, and though in the larger scheme of things it was counter productive for the player base as a whole I submitted about 8 copies of my key by copy pasting in IE.
I quickly (within a matter of mins) got 2 replys, both saying my registration has failed. There was a link to follow to say why it failed. It simply said authentication failed, check log in, password and key before trying again. I very carefully scrutinised my key entry against the one I have and I was sure it matched. I looked for characters that looked the same, or could be mistaken for another chatacter. I had one U in it which was similar to a V. Clutching at straws I changed the characters and send another few keys off. I got the same reply.
Not being on to give up easily I then repeated the process, using the second user and password I set up yesterday with exactly the same response.
Frankly I'm baffled and can only conclude that my key isnt working. Im aware that the multiple entries I've sent are only making more work for the guys at GOA, and mean people have to wait longer. Well I'm trying to justify it like this, 1. I paid for my key, alot of others havent.. 2. If this system worked as it should people wouldn't feel the need to make multiple entries to get a resonable response time.
Anyway I feel pretty screwed until I get some useful feedback, any constructive help appreciated.
