I started a trial some time ago and decided to jump in the other day for a few hours to finish time and was going tempted to sub.

Now with this key I shall play for the full month for sure and I have a feeling it could give me the time to really get into the game and have some fun, thus more likely to continue.

Excellent move with the keys.

Catch you ingame ;)

The official page on the MMORPG.com site erroneously lists VO as having a Retail Price of $9.99 as well as a Monthly Fee of $9.99.

From my understanding, there is no up-front price unless you buy the retail package, just a monthly subscription.

Inc. This rules. I have already contacted a few (I think) real newbs who want to learn piracy! Yay!

Ya know me, I will teach these lil fish to be big fish, and I will pwn them, and then they will pwn me! I kinda plateau'd in my PvP skill, so many of them will be able to kill me I am sure!

Daare: thanks, I had the mmorpg.com page updated.

Glad the response to the newbies is positive :). We're also working on expanding server capacity in advance of this evening, and possibly this weekend (when more of them may show up at once).

Also, I don't personally object to our non-subbed veterans grabbing a key to check things out. Just please limit it to one per person, let the newbies have the rest.

I hope you submitted it to IMG (and wherever else you post news). :P

(Yes, I emailed it to IMG, dunno if they'll post it in time at the rate the keys are going out).

Ok, we just dynamically added the quad-core into the cluster.

80 people online on a weekday... huh.

84... nice.

Hello all.
I am another from distant lands /waves

Stumbled. Dugg. del.icio.us'ed as well, for all the good THAT might do.

I noticed that you forgot to put the part in there about me being crowned Galactic Emperor, Inc. Will there be an announcement tomorrow?

Hi. :)

How difficult would it be to remove the Killing Spree mission? It's buggy, doesn't give much of a reward and sounds interesting to newbs. A bad combination IMO. :P

Suddenly, newbies! Thousands of them!

831 gone :)

Most likely, these players will come in over a period of several weeks, so I don't really expect a massive player inundation.

Uh... Unless you've got some other tricks up your sleeve like this one, they're coming in fast. I loaded the page, oh, a minute ago. 1,572 are left. 928 are taken. This is the first day.

Yes, we noticed :). Still, this is the first MMORPG.com promo for us, so we weren't sure what to expect.

Newbie here.

Great game, i had heard of it before but never thought it would be so good. The community is excellent and although the graphics are a bit dated (a good bit) it has excellent playability. I am definitely thinking about paying up the monthly fee.

Keep it up devs.

And as of now, exactly 1000 keys have been downloaded.

In less than a day.

We hit the usual peak numbers around low activity time, lol.

Also, welcome, all ye' newbies! I look forward to seeing you in-game soon!

-Calder
-Redlac
-Fatus Lachesis
-etc.

Suggestion to VO vets: Give a free key to a friend. Buy a month for yourself as a Christmas gift to the Devs!

dugg!!

I'm also forwarding this digg to everyone I know, so it should help it a bit :)
