The reader who posted the new PoE Beta Key wanted the puzzle to be a little more challenging. I didn't want to make it too lengthy or annoying though, so here you go:
__CW2 - W_M_C - HU_L_ - E6H__
To fill in the blanks, you need to answer the following riddles.
There are 2 letters per group, and nothing is jumbled up:
1st Group: You should already know this. All keys start out the same.
2nd Group: __ Red Ballons
3rd Group: Less __ More Pewpew
4th Group: The Deadmines instance is also referred to as __ because of it's boss.
Possibly the last one for a while. Will be giving away this one tomorrow (Jan 30) at 12:00PM PST.
This week and next should be quite exciting. Interesting posts here will pick up once there's finally new information available. I'm mostly looking forwards to creating some gold guides, though, once the game goes live.
* UPDATE:
Beta Key: FRY75-HWB8Z-EHN6C-9____
Letters: J E 2 Y
Square Enix just registered a new trademark called "FINAL FANTASY DIMENSIONS".
It has the standard description for a new video game. It will probably be a brand new series though.. so, it might have something to do with bringing back old characters and uniting them, or maybe a tie-in to their new time travel approach in recent games.
They have a domain registered as well: http://whois.domaintools.com/finalfantasydimensions.com
You should see news of this title hit fan websites sometime later today or tomorrow.
There were a ton of new trademark registrations last night, but they were all pretty boring. I swear, there must be 30 new mobile and web-based games trademarked every day.
Since I'm not really offering much in the way of news, here's a Path of Exile Beta Key: FRFKQ-ECR46-4K9QD-LJQ8Z
I have another that I'll be giving away next week. If you were lucky enough to be reading this post and got the key, please send us back your Friend Key so that I can keep giving them out to the other readers here. :)
* UPDATE (01/21/2012):
A little late, but it looks like other sites have finally picked up on it.
I will be giving away 2 beta-keys tomorrow at 1:00PM PST.
One for Path of Exile and the other for Tribes Ascend (Thanks Matais!).
You obviously won't have time for both (keys go fast), so make sure you pick the one that's higher priority for you. :)
For the Tribes Ascend key, I don't know how exactly to register it since I haven't done it myself. I assume that you'll need to create an account with Hi-Rez Studios, and then register the key there. So, you'll have to do some leg work and prepare for tomorrow.
I'll be doing another simple random letter shuffle for both keys. Good luck!
* UPDATE:
Tribes Ascend Key: F3F75A74511AFD4B42AE7C2B1
Apparently, these are pretty easy to get a hold of. So, if you have any spares that you want to give away, just post them as a comment here.
Path of Exile Key: FRSQJ-5G2PN-HBKGV-3____
Letter Shuffle: P M F P
If you win and get a friend invite, the people here would really appreciate it if you throw it back for another contest. :)
I will be giving away two Path of Exile keys tomorrow. One at 12:00PM PST and the other at 1:00PM PST.
* UPDATE:
First key: FRY46-LLKEM-BLNQL-U____
Characters: M E L G
Will post the second in 1 hour.
* UPDATE:
Sorry, guys - I fucked up. That was the one from yesterday.
Here's the one for today: FRFCM-T2VNH-5WV5H-6PTVT
No puzzle this time, I still have another coming in 30 minutes though.
* UPDATE:
Second key: FRQGV-DSQH4-W3TVL-G____
Characters: 3 X H H
If you win the POE key, you'll also get a friend invite pretty quickly (you need to check back on your pathofexile.com mail account). If you want, just post it back here as a comment and I'll put it up for another contest. Or, just give it to your friend, whatever you want. Your friend's friend invite can be sent back here too so that we can keep cycling through these for our readers. :)
Sort of a surprise giveaway.
Will be giving away this key in 10AM PST (2.5 hours from now.)
Looks like POE keys are a lot more common now too, especially with the immediate friend invites.
* UPDATE:
Here you go:
FRY46-LLKEM-BLNQL-ULMEG
No puzzle, just copy-and-paste. :) I did this one earlier because I have another large post coming up later today.
I've got another PoE Key to giveaway thanks to one of our previous winners.
I don't know the exact time I'll be giving it away, but it will probably be tomorrow some time around 1:00PM PST. I'll update this post earlier in the day with a more firmed up time, once I've worked out my schedule for tomorrow.
It looks like the winners do receive new friend keys pretty quickly. So, if you're a winner, just post in the "Content Submission" area if you want to continue this trend on the site.
* UPDATE:
Looks like I'll probably do it around 2:00PM PST today instead. Will update later today as soon as I have the chance.
* UPDATE:
In 15 minutes I'll post it here, just like usual. It will be another jumble puzzle like last time. It will be 4 characters just like last time too.. 5 characters (120 permutations) is far too annoying.
* UPDATE:
FR83B-B6RQF-M55Q2-L____
Characters: 6 4 G N
I've got another beta key from "Rpgguy", and will be giving it away at 1:00 PM PST today.
(This one will be an annoying puzzle. Check out the last giveaway for clues as to what to expect.)
* UPDATE:
Here you go. Hopefully you prepared (from my last comments) due to this being a jumble puzzle.
FR6Y5-8YZ5Z-WVBMU-B _ _ _ _
Letters are Z A P R
This one is only 24 possibilities.
Next time I might make it a 5 letter jumble. The 5 letter ones are much more brutal though.. that's 120 combinations. :)
Good luck. Please let us know if you got it successfully.
Matais has given us his Friend Beta-Key for another giveaway here.
My day is going to be a bit hectic today, so I don't know what exact time to post it. (But, I want to give you all a chance to be on the blog when it's time so I won't just post it right now without warning.)
I'll post an update in a few hours, but I'll probably give it away within 6-7 hours from now. It's about 6:30 AM PST right now by the way.
* UPDATE
It's 9:20AM PST now, I'll be giving away the beta key in just less than 4 hours (1:00PM PST).
* UPDATE
Here it is: FRKDC-GVPGR-2RE9U-F27TX
If you win, please leave a comment. :)
(Next one will be a little more difficult, I'll make it jumbled up words by the way.)
I also have that Account Giveaway too (it's not a beta key, but a fully registered account already.. I would just need to transfer ownership to the winner.) That contest hasn't been announced yet though.
The key winner from the first contest (this past Monday) has graciously given us his recently received friend invite, so we have another contest!
I'll post it tomorrow at 9:00AM PST.
I know you guys really want these, so I won't hoard them for a few days. :)
(For an entire YEAR I waited and never received a beta key, and now within a week I have two accounts and 4 beta keys to give away. Is that like Murphy's Law or something?)
I'll still also have the Account give-a-way, I just need to think about the contest. Also, remember the mental note I made and be prepared for an easy/annoying puzzle.
* UPDATE
two zed el nine six four gee eee eh que dee why eff seven jay bee pee gee arr eff
("eh" sounds like the letter "A" by the way. It might be pronounced differently outside NA, which is why I'm clarifying.) :)
I've got one Closed beta key available for a lucky reader. Will be posting it here in about 5.5 hours.
This should give you enough time to register a new account if you haven't already. Check back here later, first person to use the key gets it. (You'll need to move fast to register it.) :)
And if I get any more, I'll keep posting them on the blog.
* UPDATE:
Here it is: FRAAU-US83A-WQCXK-7GV68
GO GO GO! (Please post a comment back here if you managed to get it by the way.) :)
I'll post more if I get any.
* UPDATE:
And we have a winner! (Guy who predicted his future incorrectly.) :)
Thanks for letting us know you got in.
Next time I do this, I might make up another puzzle.. make it a little more challenging.
