To you this means: You can play when the timer <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/" target="_blank">here (look for the red text numbers counting down to your right)</a> reach 0.

When the timer hits 0:00:00:00:00000000000 (as in stops counting down, zero, nill nothing nada) you will recieve an email with a NEW CODE which will ACTIVATE your alpha.

<b>Remember:</b> We are quite a few waiting for the alpha keys here. They can't send out all keys in 1 second, so if you dont have it at exactly 0 on the timer, be a little patient!

1) It is not an error because you live in EU or US
2) Nothing is wrong with your computer
3) You just have to wait, like everyone else.

4) Now stop making silly posts.


Hopefully this will make them stop -.-'

edit: shiate, should probably have added 'BEFORE MAKING A POST!' in the topic name >.>

    To elaborate.

    The first key you got when you purchased is the key that says you own the game when it comes out final version. In 1 hour you will receive an email with a key that gives you access to the alpha and your black armor.

    unfortunately, if someone was so hasty to complain that they didn't even read the first 3 lines of the new blog post, I doubt they'll take the time to actually sift through forum topics before posting :(

    I don't know if my sarcasm tags are broken, or if your sarcasm-o-meter needs fresh batteries :(

    I just wanted to say thanks Kola for making this post, it may seem silly but for example I thought www.naturalselection2.com was the actual website. It wasn't until this morning that I found the timer and this very clear information on www.unkownworlds.com/ns2/ so indeed this post is necessary IMHO.

    Also thank you for quoting what I added and putting it in the beginning for the thread, very helpful thread :)

    To be fair your first post in this thread makes you look like a newbie, and I was just trying to be nice and clarify.

    But yes I do tend to run over sarcasm at full speed without noticing with my generally serious demeanor :D (edit: although I should have looked at your # of posts lol)

    Bumping for great justice. Also, you can play with all the Alpha models in the tools.

    Problem solved.

    <b>Redeem a Steam Code</b> = Go to "Games" and "Activate a Product on Steam".

    The Black Armor code will work. I'm playing now.

    Hmm. I do have my key, but Steam isn't playing nice. Using the Alpha key that was mailed to me a few hours ago, Steam fails with this error:
    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Please first activate the original game.

    The product code you've entered requires ownership of another product before activation.

    If you are trying to activate an expansion pack or downloadable content, please first activate the original game, then activate this additional content.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    So I tried using the NS2 key I got when I pre-ordered back in May of '09, and it just tells me that one is invalid.
