    Every hour there will be 1000 keys sent. There are 8000+ alpha keys, 6000+ left. In maximum 8 hours you should have the key, but I think much earlier.

    The developers are in PDT time zone: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbr ... a/pdt.html

    Still nothing here. I'm checking my inbox every half hour or so, and it's getting a bit OCD, hehe.

    I may have misspoken earlier. To clarify: I didn't mean to suggest that you have to have a lot of money to provide feedback, merely that there has to be some way of limiting the number of players (that said, if that was the intention, it hasn't worked very well :))

    As I understand it, the original kickstarter backers were the ones who literally made the game possible (when it was make or break). Even back then alpha access was still at $90. If Uber reduced the price for alpha afterwards, they would be reducing the exclusivity and relative value of the kickstarter rewards. Uber set a precedent for themselves when they set it at that price. It would be like letting the Steam early access users only have to pay $40. I agree that the price is steep, but they can hardly change it now...

    I also didn't mean to say that Uber should only listen to backers. After all there are other ways to give them feedback. When the beta comes out there'll be plenty to do, and if that's still too costly, then there's always the forums. If you have any ideas or suggestions, then you can get other people's opinions. Maybe if it's good enough, the Devs will use it.

    Anyway, that's my opinion. I could be wrong. Nevertheless, there it is.

    I just bought my alpha access last minute (I think :p), does that mean that I will be one the last one to get the key (Do I even get my key lol?)?

    The FAQ. needs to be updated lol, I have soo many questions.

    Nearly midnight here. Guess I won't be playing it until tomorrow afternoon, which is too bad as I was really curious to see how it would run after seeing some stream recordings.

    I wonder if having upgraded through the store placed me lower in the queue or something weird like that.

    Just glad I didn't stay up too late last night/ this morning. Had work today. Would have been miffed if I stayed up later, seeing as I've not gotten mine yet either. Rofl. I patiently look forward to it as well. Game looks awesome so far from what I've seen of the vids and confirmed content. Thank you guys kindly, for making another RTS similar to your previous. More so, on a planetary scale! Always wanted to play a game on this level. So much win. :twisted:

    This is my guess too, It's also been quiet on the Alpha front for me but I just upgraded yesterday.

    I guess I don't quite grasp how fair this is, how Am I seeing multiple news sources indicating PA is fully live for Alpha, if I and a new of my friends lacks keys when we more then paid our share for a piece?

    How can we be told its going live today, and not get a key?
