EDIT: Not sure if that link works.  If not just go to www.gamespot.com and scroll down to the AoC link.

Nevermind......I see now "Rohh" beat me to posting the news.

It might just be that the 15k Invites are basically already spent? Could imagine that theose 15k were gone very quickly.

I thought they meant to get as many people as possible then invite 15,000 randoms. How lame.

Yeh they didn't think about the timezones over the world very well did they, I was asleep cause I live in the UK when this must of started and just got back from work early and saw it and it's over because frigging 15 year old kids who have no life can spend all their time on the PC.

Ahem...I said "I could imagine...."  It might just be their registration servers are down. *shrugs* There's no official word out yet as far as I've seen. Or has anyone already received an e-mail from Gamespot about this?

Boo......

  I'm still seeing the add on gamespots pc homepage but the link doesn't seem to work.  Managed to sign up yesterday but have received nothing from gamespot as of yet.

lol dude use your head...if they told everybody tomorrow at 4pm go to gamespot to get in pvp weekend !

 

1,000,000 people would have been refreshing gamespot.com website crashing the hell out of the server and nobody would have gotten in...this was the only way to do it

It's just complete ass backwards and illogical thinking. "Hey we have all these people waiting/begging for invites forever... lets just... forget about those people and open up a one day only pvp beta entry without telling anyone." Grats to the people that got in though.
