Fast typist. I did it with one of the costume codes some time back. Doesn't take that long to type in.

Typing a code of that length in a few seconds is very possible.

Without typos ... now that's the challenge.

Please try MA arc ID 351455, "Shard Stories: Scavenger's Hunt." Originally created for the Dr. Aeon contest, it explores the wild potential of one of the City's most concept-rich but content-poor settings: the Shadow Shard.

No, trying to apply an NA code to an EU account, or an EU code to an NA account, just returns an error for the person trying to apply it. It does not actually 'use' the code.

The site says 2 codes an hour but so far I've only seen one or did I read it wrong?

My eyes are starting to cross from all this refreshing.

skinny fingers ftw?

the numbers do look similar too..

EX:

HDE3QL7LZPNZABXCZ9SF was one

HDE3QL7LZPNZAVGURGKZ was another

looks like after PNZA all you have to do is type 7 different codes to claim the prize..

Which can be done in 2-4 seconds...

They can show up on Facebook and Twitter as well. Two codes an hour across all three services.

Oooh, so you have to be the fastest clicky / typist bummer. Leave me out.

A fast typist could. 60 words per minute (which isn't fast), is 300 characters a minute. That's 5 characters per second which which means that it would only take the person 4 seconds to enter in the code. You just have to be a fast typist.

FYI: Code 2 just got claimed on Facebook

the facebook just hit, it was taken 2-4 seconds as well...

 

Posted

2nd NA code just posted and claimed on Facebook. Went fast, too.

One was just posted on FB. Gone in 2 seconds flat.

Why are they pics instead of text? Slow typers need copy and paste to compete.

It's weird that they did it this way since it was text in previous contests. This had to be a conscious decision but I can't imagine why.

A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

they are posting codes randomly across Twittter, FB, and the forum 2 per hr. Guess the other one went to text-heads.

Meh... forget it. My time is worth more than the $10 it'll take to just buy this. What time does it go on sale tomorrow?

To avoid bots that do just that, quite likely.

They tried that with costume codes awhile back, and it just got ridiculous how fast some people can copy and paste. I got close twice with that technique, but couldn't get them applied fast enough to my account.

YAY for Super-Nerds with 30 skinny fingers and instant download/upload speeds!!

There are text grabbers that can copy from any image and all you have to do is hit paste.

I'm just too lazy to even experiment with that, plus it's cheating, but whatever.

I'm gonna try #3 and give up after that cause I'm falling asleep staring wildly at the screen hitting F5 like crazy across 3 tabs.

When does this go on sale..I don't have time to play this game.

They might as well just pick a random forum user and PM them a code.

I don't even know how this work? what are u supposed to do?

I believe it goes on sale tomorrow. Anyone, please correct me if I'm incorrect, please.
