Dota 2 Beta
« on: February 26, 2012, 18:44 »
Since I can't buy the key anywhere except buying from some guy (which can be very risky stuff and I don't wanna get involved with that), can't get a key any other way because of internet surveys scam, and I'll probably never get a key from playdota.com giveaway, I wanted to ask anyone on forum if someone has extra invite, key, or if someone has account but doesn't wanna play anymore, will you give me so I can play? Thanks for response in advance

Did you at least spam those 20 posts to fulfill requirement? It increases your chances significantly.

I dunno, seems like older accounts are really privileged there, mine was randomed after about 2 months (back in the days there weren't 120 keys per day, they starded off with 2/4/8/13/20/40), and soon after friend posted there and won key after like, 3 days? (Old account also)

EDIT: Wait, it's even 180 per day now. And they no longer care about posts. Well, things changed.

This "almost everyone" is around 1-2%, if not less.

Well, since there are like... 280k+ posts there, you can do the math. I might have exaggerated  with those percents, after all there are usually over 20k players playing simultaneusely, so there would be more with keys. Ok, lets say 100k have keys, which is quite a lot for closed beta. This leaves you with further 180k people waiting for 180 keys daily. Your chances might be slim, but still it's your bet shot.

@kingW3, you couldn't create it on 2007, because forum exists since june 2009  :P Still, seems like pretty much all old accounts that took part in draw have got a key, which is why they are now giving keys to new accounts only.

Game mechanics are fine, I love free customisation of keys, voice chat and good spectating, but IMO visually this game went soooo wrong. This is why I like WC3, simple yet you don't have trouble telling what's going on. And it's not as blue as Dota 2.
