A lot of the beta keys are going to accounts who haven't logged in since late 2011 (you can see the timer on the homepage).

they should increase the time between invites but give them to people who would actually play the game.

Just saw the email. Well I doesnt affect me or you Ron ... since we got keys already.

Played it yesterday, it seems okay but nothing to amaze me

The skilltree system is OMFG, I can't believe how many possible combinations

I will play more later today :)

Yeah skill tree is spectacular, I'm currently making an Ice witch, I've seen some guides on the forum, but I plan on making my own version of the build.

definitely. I immediately thought final fantasy 10.

here is some more info about it Path of Exile - Official Unofficial Path of Exile Site - Free MMORPG - DotMMO.com

Thanks for that, but I'll sum up the info for those who dont feel like reading.
Its a Diablo-like game (grinding ... lots of grinding)
A huge skill tree, and when I say huge, it is really big. All skills in that tree are passive.
Skills are gained from gems which are inserted into slots in the items which have the option to be linked and when they are linked you can use support gems to enchant the effect of the skill gems.
There are lots of items. Potions are special, they are made with charges which means you dont need to buy any potions. The charges are filled up by killing mobs. The currency in the game is scrolls of wisdom, instead of gold or anything representing money/gold. I think thats all summed up.

I want a beta key soooo badly

you can play this weekend. its open to everyone.

Wondering what will happen with the characters and the accounts of the ppl who played over the weekend.

i would play it but if its only for this weekend then nah, gonna wait for my key.

characters are kept, just can't login after sunday apparently.

Kinda crap .. Cant remember when exactly they were gonna release it. :/

I fcking want a key for this game, seems a lot better than titan quest ^^

I'm wondering if private servers for this game will exist in the next couple of months after it's in full release. It'd be nice to play a private server to level up quickly and mess around more freely with the skill tree.
