Due to whining from general masses (e-mail from blizzard) Ten Ton Hammer had to open the give away to everyone -- not sure whats going to happen to those who paid $$$ for premium membership in hopes of getting D3 Beta Key.
We have opened this giveaway to all registered members. If you purchased a premium membership in hopes of winning a key, we'll be posting further information soon.
[edit] looks like they edited that announcement, sneaky.
While I don't feel sorry for the people that paid (even though I'd pay 10 bucks for a (guaranteed) key lol), it was false advertisement and the marketing attempt was blatantly obvious. I still don't think they're doing anything illegal in regards to "lotteries" as I was discussing in another thread, but Blizzard obviously thought it went against the spirit of the key distribution and told them to take it down.
Then again, these fansites (I believe) were given rules on how they were allowed to distribute keys, and maybe TTH just simply didn't read them It's also possible they didn't technically break any rules, but because of the outcry and public opinion, Blizzard asked them to open it to everyone. Are those rules accessible anywhere by chance? Just for curiosity sake.
And as mentioned above by Ardikus (just in case you missed it), go "Like" and visit TTH's Facebook page at 5:00pm CST, for another chance to win. You only have a 1 minute window. Good luck guys.
If blizz ever gives me a key, this is what I will do,
Super Duper Membership Drawing.
For only $1000, you can become a Lifetime Super Duper Member and be entered in a drawing alongside other Super Duper Members to win a beta key. You get one chance to win for every Forum Buck you have. You can buy Forum bucks in the gift shop for $1 each. *Forum bucks are otherwise worthless!
ROFL!!!

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!

Am I having deja vu? I swear I saw this exact same post earlier today now I can't find it.
Contest is over now. I was one of the roughly 220 people who posted their username within the first 60 seconds after the post went up on the FB page. Here's hoping I'm the one :P. I agree their premium membership stuff was terribly lame and inappropriate, but tainted or not... I'll take their beta key if they pick me ;).
lol their FB page got spammed so hard most people didn't even see the post.
Yeah. I got five entries now, if you include those in the second wall post. My brother made a sandwich and didn't get in though, my mom did a second time. That is if they double-count on accident.

Kinda bummed about the time extension, cuz now they have to go through every FB page and see which ones are fake (as there were many). Which takes time and devalues the contest itself.
