Technically, both on humor and creativity. Although, as a student of japanese literature, I can say most of these aren't even Haiku, just phrases in 17 syllabes and 3 lines. Oh well..

I'm under the impression they will be out in waves as other people have said, I'll give it a few days more before I /panic lol

I think that we are many people joining the phase 1; so they have to send mail and put the account in the "beta access" mode (or something like that) for thounsands and thousands... and they have to prepare the beta client too until 25th so... they will send on waves as you say Saika.

Congrats to the winners! I am ... jealous >_>

When will we recive the beta key from the contest?

Sorry to keep you all waiting!
I know you are all very anxious to get your keys and we will be sending them out shortly :)
Once again, congrats to all of the winners!

Um just wondering if anyone has their key yet?
