    I can't speak for the rest of this forum, but I hope you never get your key.

    I'm tempted to say that it's up yours.

    but that would be too mean in my opinion. :D

    I have the same problem I believe. My email inbox is strangely devoid of the special alpha key. Has everyone else gotten their email already?

    Finally some one that is not a total ass, I have tried that many times, it does not work.

    While I don't agree with Fujin lack of tact, I too am getting a little frustrated with watching others already hard at work catching bugs and me still waiting for the key (retrieved several times and sent an email to store@unknownworlds.com )

    I don't know but it seems that people with Yahoo emails aren't getting their emails from the servers in a timely manner, I just got my "Play the alpha tonight" email an hour ago D:

    Already used that, still waiting.

    No, it's not in my spam.
    Yes, I used the right email, I tested an incorrect email to make sure I would see an error.
    Yes, I will continue to wait, considering it's alpha, I'm not expecting much gameplay anyway. :P

    Everything looks ok with your email and keys. Did you check your spam folder?

    Maybe if I try changing it to my hotmail email address I will get it.

    Max, having same exact problem.

    Also use a yahoo account.

    It's been over an hour since my first "Retrieve" attempt and I've tried several times since.

    No it's not in a spam folder.
  • Rogue EagleRogue Eagle Join Date: 2010-07-19 Member: 72551Members
    I had to go through the manual process (clicking the button that forces send to email), didn't get it automatically.

    Be patient, it's not like you're not gonna get the thing.
  • PhagePhage Join Date: 2010-04-30 Member: 71576Members
    I have the same issue. Haven't received email, not in my spam folder, when I retrieve it says it will arrive in a few minutes. Also have yahoo email.

    To whom should I email about not getting the key? The "Play Alpha Tonight" email got to my hotmail address just fine a few hours ago...

    I am having a similar issue. If I scream and complain, will I get Max's personal help?

    Interesting that you say that.
    I'm with Yahoo and I definitely haven't gotten mine yet, even after a retrieval.
    Perhaps UWE had their mailing servers black listed?

    They really should have disabled retrieval and just set up a round robin for all Alpha Pre-orderers though. So it would send out say, 1000 keys in the first 5 minutes, then another 1000 and so on and so fourth.

    I am in the same boat. Verified email address, attempted to retrieve, relogged into the mailbox a few time to be sure, checked alternate emails. Can't stay up much later without alpha access.

    Edit: Not sure if it helps, I am also on a yahoo address.

    You've made like 7 threads complaining over trivial bs like how long it's taking to get an email and honestly there are worse things in the world. I've had to babysit children more patient than you. Pathetic.
    Also you might get better results by not telling the community to go #$(* themselves, so go @#*$ yourself. :)

    My email is a Yahoo account, so it's possible I suppose.

    thats kinda what im thinking..... I also tried to 'change' my email address, but seeing as it needs to send a verify email to the original it still hasn't shown up.
