Veritas of Moon Guard also received our betas today.

Thank you very much to Zenlyth and to all of the other Blizzard reps who worked hard to make this happen. I hope we can assist y'all in testing out the new guild leveling system and functionality!
You're welcome! :)

Q u o t e:
We are keeping it civil. All I'm asking for is something ... anything from blues saying yeah we know we missed some and we are working on it. We all know that come Friday evening if we don't have keys it is going to be Monday before anyone can get this fixed.

Let me tell you from someone who worked way too many years in customer service (working with 5000 accounts would have seemed like a holiday to me) just one little response from the blues saying those who did not receive keys have not been overlooked would quell the nervous feeling some of us are getting in our guts.

Right now all we have is silence and no communication is making what could just be a small managing problem turn into a small crisis.

Trust me anything from Blues even if its just a nod and wave and they will get hugs and kisses back from me and i will then patiently wait for my key.

I'd offer cookies but I'm sure that would be a bribe ;)

This is all the information I have for you so far:

I have no updates on this currently. They are still receiving emails from guild masters regarding account issues and are still trying to go through all the various questions and mail they have received.

Q u o t e:
So. Zenlyth. Are the people not getting invites and they can not contact their guild master or any thing like that? I heard one guy on the forums that you guys will be doing another couple waves for people you missed but dont know if that is true or not.

Thanks if you can answer.

-DROID
Well, I do believe they want to make sure all winners get into the beta. They have received tons of emails with various questions, not just accounts that have not been flagged, which is also taking more time to go through.

Hey!!! Zenlyth, Hook up The General Public!!!! IMO, would love you forever and ever.....

You biggest fan and YourFriend

-YourFriend
Unfortunately, I do not have any recent updates on the beta invites status, since these are all being taken care of by our Community team. They are still receiving emails at [email protected] for questions and concerns.

Also, from what I understand being unable to post on the current beta forums is only temporary, until the system updates itself. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused, YourFriend.

Cricket.... cricket....... Can we get an update as to when those accounts that should have been flagged might be looked at?
Unfortunately, we are looking at Wednesday of next week, for the next wave of invites. Please ensure that your guild master has submitted all the information correctly by then, to avoid further delay.

You will not be forgotten, if your guild master Kesa has submitted the information correctly and she also states that she submitted it on her post. I apologize for the delay and frustration this has caused you but this is not in our hands, your patience is appreciated, thank you.

Never mind the request, Zenlyth. I'll just fill up the contest mail box.
This isn’t a solution either. =/

Thanks Zenlyth. I got a bit cranky on the last post. I should learn to walk away instead of making sarcastic remarks at people trying to help even if the information does not match the question asked.

Zenlyth help a girl out here. While I've been waiting I've canned 18 quarts of Christmas pickles, cleaned closets, cleaned dressers and OMG cleaned the house. I also made a mayo cake with double dutch chocolate frosting.

Please Zenlyth don't make me clean the house again.
Heya Celindas, looks like we are waiting another week due to the amount of emails received regarding the contest. Many players sent information to that inbox that were not guild masters with various questions and concerns, which overwhelmed the inbox. This was a bit of a task; your patience as always has been appreciated through this process.
#178 - Sept. 3, 2010, 11:38 p.m.
Blizzard Post
Q u o t e:
I find it impossible to believe that the inbox of those who were in charge of this contest was flooded at the very beginning of August,
I’m sorry Ditzurzak, I don’t recall saying specifically that the inbox was flooded since the beginning of August.. o.O?
Q u o t e:
And if that was in fact the case and the team responsible is still trying to find the original emails from the GMs, then why was there an initial wave of invites around three weeks ago?
They are sorting through emails they have and are receiving daily, since the contest. This is what I was referring to on my message to Celindas.
Q u o t e:
Considering the first wave of invites, where are the rest of the invites from the original groups of people?
Not sure?, I don’t handle that.
Q u o t e:
after all we aren't happy at the complete lack of communication aside from the occasional "wait longer and be patient".
Unfortunately, that is all the information I had and was able to provide regarding a contest that CS really had nothing to do with, my apologies if it wasn’t enough.
Q u o t e:
I guess what I'm saying is i don't buy the inbox is full excuse they gave you zen and don't understand why the rest of the original guild winners haven't been flagged.
I do not recall actually saying, "the inbox was full"... -.-
Q u o t e:
Many players sent information to that inbox that were not guild masters with various questions and concerns, which overwhelmed the inbox. This was a bit of a task;

What I meant by this was that they had received many emails and is was a bit of a task to sort through it.

Unfortunately, I do not have an answer for you, Kesa.
Q u o t e:

It's been nearly 3 weeks since the mass-flagging--surely they could have flagged at least a couple of accounts by now, right?
Yes, they have been flagging account since then.

Q u o t e:
Or answered a few of the GL e-mails sent out.
Yes, they have been responding to them also.
Q u o t e:
Did someone take their company internet access away? Or their mice?
Not sure, the mice are tired? /shrugs
Q u o t e:
Zenlyth, can't you launch your least-favorite intern their way to poke them or something? :P
I don't think our mice like being poked. ๏̯͡๏

Zenlyth, do you know if not being in the guild anymore that you won in would affect me getting flagged? Our guild leader disbanded our guild and went horde, but I'm still with most of the people who won the contest : /

Q u o t e:
Thought i'd give an update since I'm here again keeping track of the entire progress.

So, as some may know we had 8/10 invited from my guild and as of yesterday (it could of been late Wednesday but we all stopped checking as often) one of the two was flagged. So now we have just one member still out in the cold. I still find the random invite process very odd but atleast there is some progression :D

And like many others have said before me, a big Thank You to Zenlyth for putting up with our concerns and working to the best ability to provide info :) Anyone else could have easily just ignored it all and gave us "they are working on the situation and you will all get your invite soon *lock*". I like to see someone with compassion for the community and game.

Good luck to you all,
-Anthony/Omni
Thank you! (●*∩_∩*●) Are you able to provide the character name of the one who is not flagged yet?

Blizzard Post
Q u o t e:
Hey guys, before it becomes a trend I want to point out that the most that can be done by Zen is checking if an account has been flagged or not and possibly why if it hasn't. This does NOT mean anything can be done right away and the more problematic situations will just have to wait out for the next/last wave of invites. Let's not beat this thread dead with requests. I do feel sympathetic for all of you still not flagged and it has been a bit of a wait, but we shouldn't drive away our only light in the dark :)

Thanks Zen!!!
Thanks for sending that information in and for letting me know, Xeradorie, they are the only ones that can help you guys, there really isn't much CSF can do about the contest.

Q u o t e:
I too received a Beta Guild Winner email which I confirmed as legit as I could check, submitted the info asked, and have yet to be flagged.

Zen, if you're up for checking one more, I'd really appreciate if you could check if my guild and see if I need to resubmit anything (or if I just got elaborately spoofed). These guys are great, and they'd do right by Beta.
I am not sure Jarinduva, please check your headers to make sure it is legit, emails were sent a while ago. None have been sent recently.



â–ºThis thread will come to a close soon, most of the winners have been flagged, all further inquiries will need to go to [email protected]

Heya Deathpry,
Q u o t e:
Hey zen i have a good idea. Instead of waiting for beta. why dont you guys just give us Cataclysm 5 days earlier than anyone else? then after that 5 days we got to buy it. I think that will be fair because cataclysm is sneaking upon its approach it seems and i think that will be fair for people who were supposed to get in.
If that was up to me sure, but sadly it isn’t. ๏̯͡๏

Q u o t e:
Zenlyth,

Wouuld you mind please checking the status of my guild? I sent the email to [email protected] over a month ago (August 10) and noone's recieved their invitations. I just resent a new email a few minutes ago too.

A few on the list (2 or 3) have recieved beta invitations, but we're unsure if they were just randomly selected or if it was because of this contest.

I don't mean to complain, but it's been over a month now! I understand delays... but a month+?! Being selected as a winner for this contest was a rather large morale boost for us at the time. But, the delay here has served more to kindle a few sparks of mistrust towards the guild's leadership.

A swift resolution to this would be greatly appreciated. Let me know...

Thanks.
Unfortunately, all inquiries must go to [email protected],my apologies.
