There probably wont be an update until Cairenn or Dolby come online. I could be wrong though.

Ah fair point. *crosses fingers*

***Cairenn*** · 07-19-10, 07:28 PM

Cairenn has been online all day, and has sent a follow up email to Blizz, and has been awaiting a response. They did say "Most likely it will be Monday" in the email last week, just like I said. There were no promises.

Trust me guys, you will know just as soon as we do. We've never left you hanging before, we're not about to start now.

As for the contributing authors - communication goes a long way. Any number of contributing authors or groups of authors have already gotten keys because they, you know, talked to me.

Ok. Let us know if/when it gets to the time of needing an angry mob waving pitchforks and torches

Thanks for the update Cairenn!

I just wanted to apologize for posting my addon when I did (twice... I forgot to post the updated version).
I have been sitting on some stuff and happened to be home sick today and had time to actually package/upload stuff. I didn't even think about the volume you guys must have been getting from the giveaway.

***Cairenn*** · 07-19-10, 07:59 PM

No worries Muqq. I approved one and deleted the second. It's all good.

Torches? Awesome, I'll bring marshmallows!

[ Edit: Egads, I just noticed I'm coming up on my 4th anniversary on this site! ]

Sweet. Can someone bring suitably offensive banners to march with?

dr_AllCOM3 · 07-19-10, 08:06 PM

Do all those authors who uploaded very simple addons or even stuff that's not their own in the past days have the same chance for a key as other authors?

I have my "Gnomes are great! (with ketchup)" Banner. It's 16' long though, so it needs about 6 people to carry it (or 41 gnomes).

Good good. That should do for one.

You had to have an author account BEFORE the announcement about the beta keys.

no. 1) the admins/moderators are removing those addons when they are submitted. 2) it is explictly stated that hello world addons do not count. 3) the codes being given out aren't automatic they are hand given out.

You had to have an account before the announcement to automatically enter yourself for a beta key. We've made exceptions to some people.

There isn't any chance, keys are given out in order of people entering. Up until the restriction on join date was in place, people who stole others addons were banned and didn't get keys.

Luckily night time is dead time at Dunkin Donuts. I was checking my phone every 1/2 hour to see if this was updated lol. We will see tomorrow.

Gnomes are great enough without ketchup.

Well, I sent you a PM yesterday, so hopefully that should help
