Friend Beta Codes Giving Out My Info

Post » Thu Feb 27, 2014 6:01 am

I followed the link in the recent email about giving beta codes to friends. The email that gets sent to friends has my beta code on it, as well as my forum username and password. That is after following the link "forward this email" link. Additionally, there are multiple boxes to send a number of friends a code. When doing so the same code seems to get sent to the different potential players. So how many people can we invite through this link?

I might be reading the emails improperly but none of that adds up to me.

Thanks in advance for your responses,

Pizza

I'm not sure why your login info is showing in the e-mail, but I really don't know why you have multiple boxes to send friends invitations. The official Bethesda invite says forward this e-mail to one friend to give them the code.


Are you referring to a different e-mail? Did you get your key through a 3rd-party giveaway?

If you click the link in the e-mail that say send invite to your friends or what ever it will direct you to a page where you can fill in multiple e-mail addresses. Not sure of the one friend was a typo or the multiple boxes was a mistake...

There's no link in my e-mail, but this isn't my first beta either.

Maybe set up a dummy e-mail account and see what happens when you put that address in.

Why can't we just send them the access code listed in the email?

The Zenimax mail include the logon to the beta forum which is NOT your account details. Its not really your info, its an account and password generated by them. I will assume that the beta forum account does not contain any game account relevant information. Your friend can use that account to give feedback as well since they literally say "forward this", I assume that is their purpose since its not sent in a separate mail.

My advice would be not to forward it, but hand the key to your friend yourself. And of course redeem your own code before you even tell your friend you got a code for him :wink:

I think they realize that the average human being is not smart enough to copy/paste things. They also may want you to forward the e-mail because it contains all the relevant information about the upcoming test.

Does anyone need a code still? I can't imagine too many people don't have one still. PM me if anyone does.
