rauper: I see, fair enough then. Guess it was worth a try and I'll just have to live with the disappointment. Thanks for the info though and letting us know what's going on.

rauper. I can give you my password if you want. That'll verify we recieved these 'you win' messages (I had 3 in total).

Meh, I'm over it now. But it's like giving a toy to a kid saying 'congratulations you've won!'

Then to snatch it out their hands with a, eh, wha? whatever sorry our mistake.

Stick to the good old draw from the hat next time, seriously ;)

No way of verifying it? Can't you use your modding powers and check our accounts or something?

I'm just surprised there were no ads on that page I refreshed so many times.

Missed opportunity there.

"rauper " have you / are you actually going to speak to Sigames about this ?

or are you just going to bury the massive fuckup ?

there are currently alot of very angry people on the sigames forum who have been waiting for over a week and now you have fucked them over.

i dont think its right what has happened at all


you said theres a fuckup yourself, and yet i still have an email in my PM box saying ive won a beta key.

there isnt a sorry we have messed up msg in there so are you just going to dodge the matter or actually try to manage the situation ?

im not going to remove that msg any time soon, feel free to check my account.

Out of interest, do you have a beta code, coz surely if you do the honorable thing to do here would be to distribute them to the people that you mislead.

Taffmaster: Try getting THREE congratulatory messages, then finding out you haven't won.

Three times the disapointment!

As one of the winners id like to thank eurogamer, rauper and SI games for this.

Unfortunate that error messages were sent out after the first 25 had won but sometimes things go wrong.

Thanks again!

at the end of the day the SI dev's are like us. football fans and gamers. they must know how truly pissed off we are, and i can only hope they sympathise, and pass out more keys to those of us that were mislead. a big part of me doubts that that can happen, but fingers crossed none-the-less

Yeah I think anyone making threats is getting a bit OTT. Let's be honest here it's a mess-up, obviously no-one intended it to happen. Hopefully some will take sympathy on those of us who were misled and give us a key, if not - then too bad.

Let's just hope lessons are learned and next time they'll do random draws ;)

Guess if I'm not on that list I'm not in. Oh well. Speaking as a web developer I know how difficult it is to make a script react to what could've been hundreds of simultaneous requests, so I sympathize with the EG devs for the trouble they've had here.

Still disappointed though :(

Oh, and jonycrack, since you can't spell (including, possibly, your own first name) it's probably a good job you're not in - you know you can't l33t-sp33k the code you would've got to make it half a second quicker to type, right?

People making threats are the real losers lol.

This was a FREE giveaway afterall. People like you don't deserve keys coming out with comments calling people 'twats' etc.

haha, what a bunch of sore loosers. Love all the 50kers comlaining. Only came here for one thing, didnt get it for free, and now throwing toys out the pram.

I can understand some people being slightly miffed, thinking they had a key, and dont. But if you get an email saying "heres your key", and there is no key, you might just stop for a second and assume something went wrong.

They only had 25 FFS, you had very little chance getting one in the first place.

Well i'm still fuming. It's obvious people are gonna be angry when quite clearly the first 25 to visit the link did not neccessarily get a key.

I was under the impression that my key was won and reserved as it said there were 25 left when i accessed the page. Surely a script could be made that only shows the 'claim freebie' screen to the first 25 to access it then all this rubbish would be avoided as there is no way i wasnt one of the first 25 to load that page and i dont gots no key!

Total shambles. To take the bitterness to the next level i call for ip logs to be looked at or SI to run the beta as 2 x 1000 player worlds!

pocobabs - we've said nothing of the sort.

To those who are disappointed that they didn't win this comp, there is another give away of spaces in the News of the World on Sunday.

What... still no explanation and apology.

I wonder if there is a regulatory body to complain to about what happened here..

No, a regulatory body to complain about the way the whole "competition" was executed and handled.

Despite it being a "free giveaway" the whole thing was a farce and ignorance is being shown by no one acknowledging the fact.

So has this BS been sorted yet?

I've had 2 messages saying I have a code, yet they are missing the code.

So whats going on?

I submitted it when there were 25 left, then after I got the first message there were 6 left.

So has someone ballsed up?
