... which isn't going to start happening again until members have a way to earn beta keys. No-one has any spares left to offer.
 
TLOPO and Pirates Forums are not the same entity. Therefore, it's not this sites fault that there aren't beta keys in game anymore.
 
Not sure what you want lol

As stated before, the forum and TLOPO aren't the same entity. TLOPO Forums have different staff who aren't related to TLOPO development. Forum just offers it's services and is recognized by TLOPO development.

This forum used to be active, but because of the upgrade to 2013 infrastructure, beta keys don't exist at the moment.
 
It's a regular weekly occurrence that someone new asks how to get a beta key in general, and they're chastised for it and presented a link to this sub-forum, which they're told is the only place to get keys.

It isn't a place to get keys, and it's not going to be unless the game starts generating new ones again. Thought it would help them to know.
 
I understand what you're getting at, and humanly on a micro scale it seems a perfectly reasonable thing to have forum mods and staff alter their approach from stock link and done to 'sorry but at the moment keys are not available, check the updates thread regularly for news on that'. But ultimately that's just unfortunately not their job. The information is present and available to us as a community, and half the information we are looking for can be found at this point without creating new threads, bugging mods, bugging staff who's time could likely be better spent on other things. This is not looking to spark an argument, merely pointing out that in all honesty being directed to this sub-forum will also link them to the plentiful number of threads who's most recent posts clearly regard the fact that keys are, at the moment, unobtainable. As has been mentioned, these are two different teams, two different sets of people. it's not their job to keep tabs on eachothers projects, it's their job to inform their respective communities the information they need and let us find the information provided. Which is little more than a thirty second search away which yields faster rates than creating a trash thread and bugging a mod in the first place frankly.


And to add to Yulia (not Clearwater's ) second ammendment, I'd rather the game be a better working condition before keys are re-added because assuredly re-adding keys will increase traffic which will make the bugs we see now appear more frequently as well as test and strain the servers themselves. Not that that isn't all well and good in theory, but if you know there are issues now why shoot yourself in the foot by increasing the frequency and potentially severity of the issue?
 
@Mharr I do understand where you're coming from with this suggestion. I think it's well-meaning and I certainly see how it could help resolve the issues you mentioned. At the same time, it is still possible that beta keys will be given out through events or contests even without them being available in-game. That was actually the primary means of obtaining a key for long before they were available in-game. It's also possible (though highly unlikely) that someone is still holding on to an unclaimed key that they may want to one day offer up through a contest or giveaway here. For these reasons, this forum is still open to new posts at this time.

Absolutely. I wasn't actually suggesting any particular fix, just raising the existence of the problem. I felt that the practical non-existence of keys at this moment hadn't been clearly stated.

Look at the posts directly under mine. They're new members asking where to find keys and competitions.
