I think its 20k keys on the eu one as well but i'm not sure :D
So be there  :D

I haven't used curse.com in ages.  It's good to see how they've progressed since I used their site last.
Thanks, I'll sign up for a beta key tomorrow.

 I didn't want to spend the money for something I wasn't sure about. 

 
And if ya didn't know already, there is no monthly subscription fee either.  An MMO on a massive scale that you can play endlessly without the weight or time-limit of having to pay again bearing down on you.
 
That was one thing that always bugged me in the past, if I didn't play so many hours every day or if I didn't have the time to log in for a week, it felt like a waste of money.  Even though it only costs $0.50 cents a day to play P2P MMOs, it adds up.  Then at some point you push yourself to stay awake for 24+hrs to make up for days you couldn't play...lol {guilty for having done that a lot when I was younger}
 
Anyway, check it out, it really is fun and the sweeping changes ANet have made to the standards in MMO design are awesome!

Well, got my key but when I go to create account after entering my info, I have gotten ERROR 502 10 times now.  Doesn't bode well for me;)

Okay got it!  Now, that I have registered, I need to wait for the beta weekend to play, correct?

You bought Premium? for the website? Because normal people have to wait till tomorrow to get keys :\
Yes i would download the client before hand though, Right now it's at 15.6GB and there will probably be more patches closer to the beta weekend. After u just login and you can play :D

That is really weird!  I don't have an active Premium account with Curse (Used to years ago when I was playing WoW).  I literally F5'd last night at Midnight and boom...got a key.  I just had problems actually registering my account, not getting the key.
Must have been a glitch?
I finally got signed up after getting the key (took like 15 tries).  I just need to DL the game client now.

Got a beta key..will download it a couple days before the next beta starts. Thank you for the post 

Got a key and also get the same 502 error.
 
Thanks for the post.
