Thus, even the Con-going folk are having it rough right now.

The odd thing is, in another forum, a member is stating that NCsoft said they had 150 keys and that they gave them all out on the first day at noon. So you can understand my confusion here. What really happened at Comic-Con, and how do we make it better for Gen Con? Don't worry about PAX -- this Keeper of the Keys will do her best to assure that a key gets into the hands of a lot of Guild Wars players! |

Judging from what I've heard, the keys were distributed, primarily on Thursday, but more were given Friday and Saturday, and the numbers seems pretty ok to me.

![]() For instance, one attendee said that s/he was told 150 keys were provided, another said 50. Both are incorrect. Someone said all miniature code cards were given out on the first day and that those who tried to acquire one on Friday and Saturday were aced out; another said there were "a few" on Saturday; a third said there was an equal number distributed each day. One non-attendee suggests that someone could stand in line and take multiple keys; that's pretty likely. Can you see why I'm still trying to filter through the various comments to see what really happened? ![]() I sent some suggestions to the team handling the events, and I'll be at PAX myself to do my best to keep things fair and friendly. We don't want people to go away disappointed, but the keys are limited in number and we're unable to offer more. (Oh, Keeper of the Keys? I'm a Tower of London fanatic. I thought I'd toss in a semi-obscure cultural reference. But yes, I like Harry Potter a lot; I was rereading #6 late last night.) |
