Thanks everyone for contributing to this awesome fan thread and Sunholster, when someone tells you to "Go to Hell." you can now reply, "Gladly." Check your PMs.
So I'm the (very) lucky recipient of not one, but two, beta keys from my favorite Diablo fansite.
Pay it forward, karma, whatever you want to call it, I can only hope I'm this lucky in-game; so it's best not to jinx my good fortune and give back what I don't need rather than just selling it. Unfortunately for them, none of my friends (except one who already made it in) are really into Diablo-type games so....
Want to win my extra one? Here's what you need:
A Diablofans.com account that was made prior to the time of this post
Any officially licensed Blizzard physical product(s) for the Diablo series like:
A boxed copy or licensed CD of one of the Diablo games (sorry, no digital copies)
A figurine licensed by Blizzard
A mouse/keyboard licensed by Blizzard (Steelseries D3 gear, for example)
Any of the Diablo books licensed by Blizzard
Board games, Blizzcon swag, Diablo alarm clocks, whatever as long as it's a real Blizzard product related to Diablo
A picture of the product(s) next to your current time, date, and Diablofans.com username legibly written (or printed out) on something nearby. If you want to be in the picture too, that's fine, but not required! Having a ton of things or only one thing has NO effect on your chances, but feel free to show off
After the first 100 legit* pictures have posted, I will upload those first 100 unique Diablofans.com usernames (meaning there's no point to posting more than one) to Random.org. The drawing will be public so you'll be able to see all the entrants who qualified and who won. Yep, I paid $5 for this drawing but this is how you do a reasonably fair drawing (minus the fact that you have to assume that I don't work for Random.org lol).
I will do my best not to miss anyone who qualified, and if I do feel free to PM me (don't post about it in the thread) to find out if you were DQ'd (see below). I sincerely apologize in advance if you do miss out in the drawing because of my mistake. I don't know any of you so it's not personal I'll try to finish the drawing ASAP but I do work full time so cut me a little slack if I get tied up with personal responsibilities and it takes a day or two to respond with the link to the results. I want you to enjoy this game as soon and much as I already do (so far the Barb is my current favorite).
*I reserve the right to disqualify any pics I think aren't legit, like you at the store holding a Diablo item. I don't care if you borrow a friend's Diablo product to make the pic (not like I would know anyway), just don't do a lazy job of trying to fool me if you don't happen to own anything from Diablo.
EDIT:
Here's an example of what gets you your entry into the contest
:Edited: Just found out my boxed copy for Diablo 1 isn't here and i'm not driving 95 miles to get it from my parents place :-p Anyways Kudos on the good Karma! Thanks for the giveaway!
Very cool of you to give back like this man! Thanks for another chance to test this sure to be awesome game.
I'm glad I found the contests on this site or I'd never have discovered an awesome D3 site. I'm going to be sticking around, hope to play with some of you folks when we get to release. Or if I'm lucky here, in beta
Your winner is:
