It is kinda funny. When you look at the odds, they're actually a lot better than most drop chances in Diablo II...that's for sure.

(50 / 4111) = 1.21624908781318% chance
Haphesto has a 0.000048% chance of dropping a Zod

You should get 25,338 (and a half) beta keys from this contest before you get a Zod.

what i feel so bad about is that bots and cheaters are rigging almost all the beta key contests... pushing the win chances so very low for fair player. And this botters do it for money by selling the beta keys or renting it out. I do wish that true fans and real gamers get the beta keys. any which way D3 is just around the corner... Good luck to all you guys.

It wasn't an invitation...

Really? I can't get my hand on the mail I recieved, but I'm pretty sure this was one.
Well, if there's one only at the end of March, that's good

Btw, just saying you got accepted to the beta, if you had, would have been breaking the NDA.

Good thing we are not on a GW2 fansite, huh?

Amen to that, brother.

Well, hopefully with all the inellibible entries taken care of and looked at, we'll all have better chances of getting a shot.

Getting the beta would require a lot of self-control from you then. Feel free to let me get it off your hands if you feel you cant control it. (Yes, 2,4% chance now!)

1 out of 4000 = 1.25%. With his you have 2 out of 4000, which is still pretty much 1.25%

You're absolutely right. My math makes no sense whatever. Well, its 00.21 here, so I'll just bugger off before I post more silly stuff. (Yes, got the time right at least!)

Actually ur chances are better than that, given that there were 4000 ppl that entered, lets just say, and 50 keys are being given away. Since a person cannot receive more than 1 key it would drop the total number by 1 with each winner increasing ur chance (im not sure the correct math formula for that as im not a math major :P). Given 2 chances for every drawing does directly increase chances of success by ~50% overall from your original % of victory. To make things easier without accounting for the increased returns and give the best chance for success 4000-49 = 3951 entrys so 1 out of 3950 = 2.531004808909137* e^-4 or ~4.5% with to out of 3951 entrys = 5.062009617818274*e^-4 or ~ 9.2%

Just out of curiousty, me and my roommate signed up, most likely from the same IP address, that a cause for us to get disqualified?

WOOT! yes disqualified them all! muhahaha. Dang cheaters! Hope I win! *Cross fingers*

if 43 posted more than once, and if double posting dq's you, then thats a minimum of 86 posts removed (not accounting for fake accounts)

Sitting here, and waiting, so much waiting. Fingers crossed oh beta I can feel you coming home to me.

thats nice you are looking into that i just hope u will anounce when u distributed all keys and now i gota go to bed work time soon

i just dont hop that because i made an account for this event that thay think it is fake... i think a lot of people may have made an account just for the chance of a beta key

Jack

A slight hint, but I need them to remove a bajillion to get my luck up =D

a new account =/= a fake / second account...
