DUST 514 PSN Code Distribution Delayed

It seems that CCP had to deal with some unforeseen issues with beta distribution, but don't be sad, once you get in you will have special beta event to experience this weekend! Here are the details:

Dear Players,

The first batch of PSN codes for EVE Online players who registered for the DUST 514 closed beta will be sent on Friday, May 18th instead. We apologize for the unexpected delay. However, there will be a special event this weekend for those of you that will receive the codes this Friday. We will be releasing details about the event shortly. Thank you.

Also, if your PSN code is not working for some reason, email support(at)dust514(dot)com the code and they will look into it.

"Register for Closed Beta" Page Incoming

Today Fanfest attendees and a few of MPT opt-ins should get their PSN keys for DUST 514 beta. This button on official DUST 514 site just showed up, and it will probably be used to gain you access to your PSN code (redeem page) in the future when CCP distributes more beta keys.

The page is currently under maintenance, so nothing to see there yet. We will update this post if things change.

UPDATE: It's open for everyone: see for yourself

Want a DUST 514 beta key? Well, we have our second winner!

After much deliberation by myself and the other judges, we have finally picked a winner in the "DUST 514's biggest fan" category. It was very tough to pick a single one at the end due to the high quality of a number of entries. But enough of that! here's the winner:

I'm among the greatest fans because I've been paying attention to the game since long before the forums were active. I have subscribed into Eve Online and helped start up a corp to aid in Dust 514 when the time of release comes, which is  a first for me as I've never been very interested in subsciption MMOs before. I see a revolution in the making, and a chance to make a mark in Eve's long history, if not in gaming.  What I've done in my personal time has been to improve both myself and my corp's chances in the inferno that Dust will be. This is the level of dedication that I will bring to the beta. I will bring experience to the tests. I have participated in various betas, both closed and open in the console and mods in the PC.  I have been known to be methodical in searching for bugs, glitches and errors, as well as suggesting balance corrections and debating on their merits, and my input has been valued in the past. It is for these reasons that I would like access to the beta. Looking forward to this game's success

Congratulations to Etero Narciss!

However, like I said, there were a number of entries in the running to take the top spot. As such, we want to give honourable mentions to the following people:

  • AelishaMontenagre
  • Loade
  • Lavat
  • Loborob
  • Brownieengulfer

If we had more keys, you would be the guys to get them. But alas, we only have one to give!

Still don't have a key? We've still got one more to hand out in the art contest, so stay tuned. In addition, it seems that CCP might be giving some more keys away themselves very soon. Follow CCP CmdrWang on twitter if you're interested.

Over the weekend we three were in deep thought over which of the wonderful entries we received in the "You and your PS3" would reign supreme over the others. And after much deliberation, we finally decided upon this entry titled "Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right.":

This was submitted by our very own resident forum barbarian, Nome. Congratulations!
