AOC: Early Access Sold Out! (Or Maybe Not?)

I know they mentioned that not everyone would get a spot in the Early Access, but damn, I guess they were serious. According to Tarib, the Funcom Senior Community Manager:

Hello everyone. We here at Funcom are extremely happy with the demand that has been for our Early Access program. That demand has been so immense, that we are now sold out! We know that several people will be unhappy to not receive their Early Access time, but please bear with us in the remaining days. So:
  • All English Early Access has sold out
  • Some Early Access still available in Germany and France
  • All Virtual items work will work on valid pre-order keys
  • Pre-orders on accounts that was later cancelled will have their keys/account disabled
Thank you and look forward to seeing you all in Hyboria very shortly!

This newsbit can be discussed in the forums right here.
Funcom is no joke. They are the gangstas of the srs intranetz!! They will cancel your fuckin' account if you thought you had scammed them out of keys.

If you don't behave, Funcom will fuckin' put a dead camel's head in your bed. FO REALZ!

By the way, if you registered your account prior to the shut down you should still be eligible, but I don't have a confirmation on that yet. Some people are saying it's only if your payment is pending.

p.s. I'm patching and would like to recommend GoGamer to everyone Stateside who had trouble getting their codes this time around. Though they weren't able to offer the War Rhino/War Mammoth, but they made sure to get those keys out to everyone. Their customer service is really really awesome, and I've seen (over a number of games) them step up to make sure of that!

p.p.s. Some people are reporting that they were able to input their codes today (others no.) Just give it a go if you got your key late!
