WarCry Holds Lich King Beta Keys for Ransom

WarCry Holds Lich King Beta Keys for Ransom

The heartless crew at our sister site WarCry is holding Wrath of the Lich King beta keys and in-game pets for ransom, and they have the note to prove it.

This ransom is a bit different, however. They don't want your money, they want you to identify the game logos used to create the ransom note. An odd request, perhaps, but they have at least filled in the first answer to help you on your way.

Twenty winners will be chosen at random from the pool of correct entries. Winners will receive one of twenty cards from Blizzard's WorldWide Invitational 2008 event, which will not only register you for the beta, but will also provide you with your very own mini-Tyrael in-game pet.

Here's the ransom note [http://www.warcry.com/contests/register/wotlk_ransom] in its entirety. Good luck!

Couldn't you guys do a Warcraft Lore quiz? Or at least something I have a chance at winning at...

Staring at the picture linked in this post:

"L" is from Final Fantasy
"K" looks to be Kingdom Hearts
"G" could be Metal Gear Solid
"H" must definitely be Halo

 

[TOGSolid]

the other h is hellgate londen
i in lich is diablo ii
n is psychonauts
a looks like Age of Conan

 

[hooblabla6262]

So far you have them right.
There is also r for resident evil
Anybody know the T. it's been bothering me.

 

[Shamanic Enzan]

Intriguing way to do it, but that kinda requires WOWers to actually know of other games right? *drums*

Also I got nothing besides what's been posted.

wrath lich king

r:resident evil (forget if it's 4 or 5)
a: age of conan
t: the orange box or team fortress 2?
h: duh, halo

l: think you're right, cid (final fantasy)
i: diablo (I agree with TOG)
h: hellgate london?

k: kingdom hearts
n: agree with TOG, psychonauts
g: metal gear solid

 

[AntiAntagonist]

The c looks vaguely familiar... racing or party game?

 

[AntiAntagonist]

More letters, for fun!

Portal
Street Fighter (dunno which one)
Fable
Tetris
Eve Online
Anarchy Online
Twisted Metal
Everquest
Phantasy Star

 

[Chaossebba]

the first, W, is from PoP: Warrior within btw

 

[hooblabla6262]

Anyone know:
The B and T in beta
And the last T in test

Would be much appreciated

P.S. Anarchy Online and Phantasy Star are not in there.

Neither

Hint: It's in the WarCry Codex [http://www.warcry.com/]

 

[Chaossebba]

i just need B-E-T in beta and T-S-T from test, willing to trade the ones i have for those

 

[Zombie_King]

If someone had the time, they could copy from this forum, use their brain for some, and cut-and-paste the rest into a search engine. I like WoW, but not that much. Plus, TV is on!

 

[hooblabla6262]

Missing the BT in Beta and the last T in Test. Willing to trade if you got them

 

[Eruanno]

Gah, only missing these now:

T in Wrath
B T A in Beta
S in Test

Anyone care to trade?

 

[Chaossebba]

need the god damned B in beta and im done! willing to trade all i got

 

[Limos]

I see an H from halo, an L from final fantasy (i think 9), and an i from Diablo.

Also I see an E from Fable. The O is definately from Portal.

 

[Eruanno]

Some I've found, not in any order, but they're all there:
(can't be too easy!)

Tabula Rasa
Portal
Champions Online
Guild Wars
Neverwinter Nights
City of Heroes
Team Fortress


Now for the love of god post B and T in "beta" as well as S in "test", pretty please

 

[hooblabla6262]

s in test is star trek online

still need the BT in beta
