ZAM's Cataclysm Closed Beta Key Giveaway

The winners have been announced. Check and see if you've won!

The entry period for the contest has expired. Thanks to all those who entered!

ZAM is having a giveaway to celebrate the end of the world (or at least the end of Azeroth as we know it) and we’re giving away fifty chances to experience that post-dragonkissed world before anyone else.

How to Win
We have a thread in the General WoW forums for the contest entries. All you have to do is post a response in the thread that states what you’re the most excited about in the new World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion. For example:

  • Playing as a Worgen.
  • All the new changes to old Azeroth. I can’t wait to see what it looks like!
  • The new talent changes. My class is going to be OP. QQ moar newbs.

We’ll be collecting entries for the next seven days, and on Monday August 2nd, 2010, we’ll be announcing all fifty winners of the giveaway and we’ll then send you your beta key for Cataclysm! It really is that simple. Just submit the part of Cataclysm you’re most excited about, and you're golden!

 

Please Note: You must enter your contest submission at the designated forum thread. Any comments on this article will not be counted as submissions.

 

Additional Note: Both Tankspot and Wowhead will be having their own beta key giveaways in the next few weeks, so make sure you check out our entire network family for all of your chances to win!

++ If you're an AddOn author WoWInterface has almost an unlimited number of keys to give away.

Rules and Qualifications

  • In order to use the beta key, you must have a WoW account in good standing.
  • Posts in the contest thread that are not contest submissions will be deleted.
  • Users may enter more than one Cataclysm item that they’re excited about, but only one entry will be counted per user.
  • We reserve the right to remove entries if we feel like you're not properly participating in the contest.
  • The contest begins on July 26th, and all winners will be announced on August 2nd, 2010.
  • The fifty (50) key winners will be drawn from the pool of eligible posters at the end of the entry period.

Relax guys.. it does take time to get it all worked out.. even if they do a /random 1-7000 or whatever 50 times.. it will be a litle while... and they may not get started on it til later today or even tonight.

Good luck to you all... we all would like it pretty badly or we wouldn't be here...
Good Luck To All That Entered

Good luck everyone that entered, we all have the same chance as one another so whom ever does get in, congratz. Whomever does not, I'm sure there will be more opportunities to get a key from other places. So keep your head up and remember, this is all in good fun.

Not winning a beta key wouldn't be the end of the world, worst case scenario being that we'll get to play at year's end.

I don't expect to win one but it would be a nice surprise if I did.

0.7% assuming no one got banned/disqualified then, which i imagine is probably unlikely but still

1 in 143 is 0.7 (estimated), not 0.07, that'd be awful D:

I like saying 1 in every 143 people will win. Just sounds like better odds, haha.

I can tell everybody posting here is not going to submit bugs at all. If you were going to do what the beta is intended for you would be able to wait, instead of freaking out at your under 1% chance to win.

You aren't going to die just calm down.
Lol

true lol
Naow plz

Whoever gets in - remember to give feedback on everything. Not just get in there and be like "Omg playing before you lozerz!"

XD
Good luck guys!

Well, the chances of winning will be low, I'm sure, so I hope whoever gets their Beta, will be happy with it! ^_^ Also, I hope they have fun in the beta and give Blizzard an easy time by submitting all sorts of buggy things and crank out suggestions. I can't say would have done that at first, but for a while now I've seen how important it is to have people who do those things as well as play around with the game to have fun before release (as both kinds will find bugs, and hopefully all the "gamebreaking" ones will be found before release) ^^'.

Anyhow, I wish people the best of luck, and for the community to notice the effects of this "wave". I hope the winners help out as much as they can, without sacrificing the fun part! >:D
