Yeah i was just pointing out that many Americans refer to it as military time.
So do some of us Canucks.
Do these drop at the same time every day? When, exactly, is that – 01:00 EST?
what do you fill in as twitter username?
just your login (your twittername)?
or @yourtwittername
or http://www.twitter.com/yourname
i tried them all but none were accepted
You need to follow @Ovh
just your login (your twittername)?
or @yourtwittername
or http://www.twitter.com/yourname
your twitter name
does it always start at the same time?
No, the time varies. They announce on Twitter what hour it'll be a few hours in advance and then they announce again 15 minutes before it starts.
They didn't announce 15 minutes before the Dedicated servers started but they did for the VPS.
Before the VPSes they were announcing 15 minutes in advance...I bet they got mixed up because the VPS and dedi times were so close.
Typical OVH, they know how to put on a good deal but they suck at organisation and communication.
Didn't get anything yet.
Wow, how fast do these run out? Or is OVH delayed on clicking the release button?
I have been spamming the validate button for a VKS exactly on time and even 4 minutes after they said they released the stock. Still says "Sorry, we have reached the limit of vKS available today. Please come back tomorrow.".
Me too, just got up at 4:57am, and it is gone at 5:03am:
Sorry, we have reached the limit of vKS available today. Please come back tomorrow.
Talking about LET effect, LOL
They're gone within minutes. Kind of like BuyVM stocks haha
The drives they are using for the beta servers are fairly good too, even with software raid 1.
@Daniel such a tease
3 minutes!
Edit: Gone in 15 seconds. WTF?! This is definitely harder than BuyVM.
Yep, these things go fast as hell.......literally seconds.
Managed to get past their stupid Twitter passcode thing, then they are supposed to send you a Twitter message. Problem is, did not get one... So it seems that once you get passed their Twitter thing on the OVH website, it's a random draw, who they send the DMs to (just like others have said).
EDIT: If you make it to the activation thing, but never get an email, then you are done. You will need a whole new email and twitter account to retry.
Yeah its pretty ridiculous.
Sorry for getting this community frustrated haha.
I'm actually enjoying my beta server
@Daniel I'm glad dude! Now get me one! :P
Managed to get one after following their Twitter feed and with a bit of luck. I wonder when they plan to set it up though. They said the beta will last until July, that's around two weeks left.
Im just rubbing it in.
So jealous ;(
@Daniel me too !
@Chronic, beta is till aug/sept!
Unless they plan to charge to take part in the beta I don't see how this could be interpreted any other way.
Yeah, they are usually free for some allotted time, then you have to pay after that.
hmm
@Chronic.. just checked in manager;
So your right.. but I heard aug from Oles a couple of weeks ago.
I would say most of the successfull guys are quite weird.
Ok, just an update......
Just now I have received my activation code via Twitter DM. This is 7 hours later, after they said I should have received my activation code. Interesting!
