This is the error I get when I try to load it

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6643010/Untitled.png" border="0" class="linked-image" />

And this is my proof of ownership

So this doesn't currently add up unless I'm too damn early. If I am early please discard the thread.

    They will be e-mailing out Alpha keys when the timer hits Zero. It will grant you actual access to the Alpha as well as the Black Marine Armor.

    Read the main page of the site, you will get a special Steam key to access it. They will be emailing you these once they actually release the Alpha ;)

    the latest tweet, "The NS2 Alpha is up on Steam now. We'll send out the keys once the timer hits 00:00:00!" you have to wait 128 minutes

    You will be sent a NEW i repeat a NEW CD KEY in about 2 HOURS that you will need to put on your steam account to access the NS2 ALPHA. You were given a cd key to download the Engine and what not but the new CD KEY is to play ALPHA.

    You see I'm not going to go through every god damn thread and read every news post about an Alpha just to read that I have to wait to receive a new key.

    IMO I think UKW should send a email to everyone to CALM DOWN until 9pm est :D
    For sure they will read an email name CD-KEY and to find out they need to simmer down!

    It's on the front page.

    It's really not that hard to find out information. In fact, you should probably visit the front page <b>every time</b> you want to access the forums, just to make sure there is nothing new posted.

    You know ... like about access to the alpha. And ... stuff.

    is a mailing list, it serves one e-mail at a time, which is milliseconds, and as the mail is only text, yeah, a lot of e-mails per second. Of course, this list has thousands of e-mails to send, so the chance that you get it at the exact moment the timer reach zero is equal to the chance that you will win 1 billion dollars when you finish reading this.

    Edit:

    they normally sent this amount of e-mails with no problem.
