Notice -- How to Unlock Servers -- ALL ANSWERS HERE!
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2007 4:14 am
First a quick message from the ABO staff...
If you already got a key and you know that you will be receiving a package from Bungie/Microsoft, please let the other participants of Iris have a chance to get a key to unlock a server. You have already beat the odds of being one of the 500 to be rewarded out of the possible thousands that are playing this game. All major forums working on the Iris ARG (CI and Unfiction) agrees with this stance as well, so it's not just ABO. Thank You...

If you find out that a server is pending and you have not registered for entering a key yet, go to the link below, because by the time the key giving link has gone public and have to go through that, you might not have the time to get through it...

First if you ever get to this screen, you have to act fast since you are starting to beat out hundreds or thousands of people to recieve and enter a key to the unlock screen
Quickly enter the security code and you will get to this screen
Copy that code and click the arrow next to "The Path". This will take you to this page (assuming that you have already signed to Windows Live ID)
This step is kinda self-explanatory but I'll say it anyway. Paste the code into the first space and enter the "security code" in the second slot, then click submit
If you were successful, you will get this screen
He was number one in this case, lucky...
If you were unsuccessful you would get either invalid key or enter the security code again (which is very common when I did it)
If you were successful but you were not one of the first 100, you will get a screen saying "Thanks for participating, all 100 keys have already been entered." And you would get a link to whatever server you were trying to unlock at the time.

It is also very common that you will get a "Birthdate error". Here is a how-to on how to get around them by ii otnemem ii
Click Sign in.
Select a language.
It will tell you to update your Windows Live Profile with a birthdate. Click on Update my Profile.
Double-check your profile, make sure it has everything required -- not only for the form, but also enough info so that you can receive your package!
Save the form.
It will take you to a form almost exactly like the previous one. Double-check it for the same things, click Save.
Click on Return to the Forerunner Site.
Enter code.
Be happy.
DON'T ENTER ANY MORE SERVER CODES -- Let others have a go!
Play ARG.
Get package.
Pee pants.
Continue to play ARG until Halo 3 blows your mind into kibbles 'n' bits.
