I am trying to purchase a rust alpha key from the dutch auction that is going on now here: http://playrust.com/buy/
and for some reason I can not purchase it. When I click buy now it does not redirect me. It just stays on that page and has its countdown.
Please Help!

[sniperkiller1]

because its not available yet

btw how did you find this?

and i just tried it and it directs me to paypal is this legit?

[Wizudd bird]

Heh, I refreshed and they price was going down

[Sealteam116]

It was at playrust.com
All you do is click register and next to where you type in your key ,it says buy key!
When you click on it you are redirected here http://playrust.com/buy/
But when you click buy now their is no redirrect, im not sure if this is an issue or if someone has hacked the system.
But please let me know!

Edited:

Yes the price goes down because it is a dutch auction, this means their is only 100 keys avalible but every 10 seconds the price goes down by 1 cent. Their for, you can wait until they get really low price but risk not getting one because their are only 100 avalible or you can buy it while the price is very high and insure that you get a key. But right now its not working!

Try this page http://transactions.sendowl.com/prod...92EDF/purchase that is what it redirects to before going to paypal

[Sealteam116]

[Mokado]

Good luck to the ones who get keys :)

[garry]

thank you garry!

[Meisterhd]

You guys need to read the paragraph on the side, it's a dutch auction which means the price starts out high each day and gradually goes down!

[Mokado]

But how did he found this? I refresh page and see nothing in main page.

Well Garry its legit soo. Here we gooooooooooooo

[sniperkiller1]

wait if we buy the key now will we be able to get the full game free?

[garry]

Yeah, I will make that clearer.

[Mokado]

Please everyone dont buy soo quick....i need it at 35$ :D

[Mike Tyson]

would accounts purchased through this get removed due to inactivity?

[nathan92h]

everyone will buy it at 35 dollars when they should wait till about 20 dollars get it as cheap as chips

No

[stripzz]

so it's 50 dollars when 5 hours left, isn't that a bit too much?

[nathan92h]

im so fricking excited to play hopefully I get one

[garry]

what should it be?

[Holt!]

This is like that price drop TV thing.

Edited:

Except with more terrible.

It's a great idea to sell the keys this way whosever it was.
definitely though, if people are laying down money they should know: whether its expected of them to test the game, new features for bugs, sign on regularly. also if they'll get the game free (which was already mentioned).

my question though is how does the purchase work? you buy, and paypal spits out a key or is it by email?

Pretty sure in like 3 hours it will be like $20 or something

[nathan92h]

I would say the game should be priced at $25 to $30 its a decent game with a lot of potential i don't want it to be like 7 days to die where its $35 dollars !

[garry]

Thanks for testing the security guys

[stripzz]

i mean, it says 300 dollars total with 13 keys sold, so that means 20 dollars / key?
it goes for 19 hours, yet it says 50 dollars, so those 13 keys sold in these 19 hours or how is that possible?
not being picky, it's awesome and a good concept, just wondering :D

It starts at $240 at midnight, and loses $10 an hour, then resets.

[Jagerfreak]

Well new games are usually $60 or more so $50 isnt alot imo especially with it being an awesome game and you get alpha access.

[Holt!]

Whats the lowest it can go before it resets?

Can you get it down to like $1?

The price goes down 10 dollars every hour.

50 cents. But you'd have to be buying exactly at 23:59:59 and that would be assuming people haven't bought all the keys of that day already at whatever price — may it be 230, 50, or 2 dollars.

[stripzz]

thanks for the clarification, again it's a very well thought system, thanks for it.
finally people wont scam other people...

[XrevolutionzX]

Wouldn't it be smarter to remove the 'amount of keys remaining' part?
That way you'll make make money, right? :D
I dont mind because i already have an account :P

[garry]

I think with a system like this we need to balance it between fleecing people and giving people the opportunity to save themselves money. Removing the keys remaining would be on the wrong side of that line imo.

[Rangergxi]

At the 20$ mark I expect all of the keys will be gone.

this. I'll probably wait until it's really cheap if I try for a key at all. I haven't used my paypal in a few years so I'd have to put in my new cc etc. etc.

If you don't mind garry, for how long will this campaign run? is it time based or to a key total.. if you've decided that.
