Yeah...I ran across that.  However, I received my codes via email from EBGames.  In addition to typing them in, I even copied and pasted them in.  Here is what I *think* happened and hopefully it can be fixed.  The email from EBGames instructed me to put the code into the Beta Center.  The Open Beta site then tells you to put the code into your master Mythic Account even if you put it in the beta center.  I'm wondering if there isn't a bug between the Beta Center and Mythic's account system.  My code went into the beta center just fine.  The Mythic account system is telling me my code is already in use.  Fileplanet also tells me my code is invalid.

I have scattered emails all over Mythic, Fileplanet and the Beta Center area.  I've even asked EBGames for a new code.  I know that last request probably won't happen.  I just hope it gets ironed out by Open Beta.</description>

Did you try replacing anything that looks like an O or 0 in the code with a Q? They misprinted a bunch of them. Anything that looks like an O or 0 is supposed to be a Q.</description>

		<description>Travis:

I'm an enforced carebear as far as time is concerned. I've had to try to adjust my motivations to compensate for a lack of playtime. I still play pretty hardcore when I'm in the game, but even so, I'm not a giant a-hole most of the time... unless you give me something like the ability to kick people off ledges with a horse.</description>

		<description>Yeah, if any Mythic employees drop by...I'd be happy just if my open beta code worked.  That would be nice.

And, Draegan, holy crap!  Not only can you talk up a storm...you can write one up too!</description>

You....are a carebear? When the hell did that happen? Did you misplace your testicles again? (check your wife's purse). Never thought I would see "Shwayder" and "carebear" in the same sentence unless there was a "hungers for the flesh of" in between.</description>

		<description>I'm pretty much a carebear myself. The normal PvE stuff is good, the PQs are good. Neither are "hardcore" in any way.</description>

		<description>I don't think the game is ready for launch. I was disappointed to hear they went gold yesterday. I want it to succeed so much but I'm afraid people will be turned off by all the bugs and the lack of polish.</description>
