The Kavasoft server seems to be down, I got the email but can't access the website. Guess they weren't ready for the traffic

Same problem here - no email, even many hours after the tree tells me it has been sent. Any way to get the code online instead maybe?

KavaSoft is still generating the serial codes. It's taking a lot longer than expected because we got a lot more people to sign-up for the giving tree than we planned this year. We knocked their server out a bunch of times already.

There's a good chance that things will have a few more hitches, so if you don't get your code within a few days, report back here and we'll get it regenerated.

Thanks for your patience. It'll be worth the wait because it's a great game.

P.S. I'm still waiting for my code, too... no preferential treatment.

No code here either, but hey... it's the holidays. Things are ALWAYS late this time of year. LOL! Hopefully things will get sorted out soon. Meanwhile, Merry (insert your holiday here) to one and all! smile

iConquer code = the ultimate vapourware? I'm beginning to think this is all a marketing thing. Who'd heard of the game before the Tree, some probably had, I believe most hadn't. Now we're all posting about it daily and waiting for it like kingdom come. Nice trick!

I'm going to be frank and just call you an idiot.

350,000 codes don't just generate instantly, especially if you are only ready for 100,000 codes to be generated.

That's nice and frank indeed. I'm glad you're not an idiot.

Is that number official? I've never heard it anywhere.

Kavasoft are still sending out serials as fast as they can. Sending out this many emails takes a while (Consider one email transaction takes 1-2 seconds, and then remember that their email server also has to handle bounces, retries etc.)

Please be patient.

This is a lame duck excuse.  Any emailing system worth a CRAP should at least be able to do 3 million emails a day.  And no, I'm not talking about sendmail, it's a load of cruft mixed in with actual code.

Neither you nor I know the details of their email system. This was the information we were given so it serves nobody to second-guess the developer here.

We've been overwhelmed with the amount of new people that the Giving Tree brought in so you pretty much have two choices at this point... be patient or go away. We're all doing the best we can, given the situation.

Thanks MacHeist!  And thanks to Kavasoft!!!
Anyone who complains about not getting such a great freebie because they can't be patient doesn't deserve to get it! (IMHO)

I'm just curious if I'll get an email or not since I got this message:
"This license has been emailed to you and ought to arrive within 48 hours. "

Well "has been emailed" means it has already been sent out... so not sure why I haven't gotten it yet.
