So let me tell you my story and maybe someone here can help me.

    [*:270wwzsg]Heard about the game on the PC Gamer website where I clicked their link and it took me to the beta signup page.
    [*:270wwzsg]Put in my name and email correctly and submitted it.
    [*:270wwzsg]The next page congratulated me and gave me a referral link.
    [*:270wwzsg]I've gotten at least 3 people to use my referral link but I haven't received a single email from anyone or anything related to Hawken.
    [*:270wwzsg]I use hotmail, but that's never been an issue for me before on receiving any emails and it's definitely not in any of the other email folders I have because I must have checked them a dozen times each by now.
    [*:270wwzsg]Been waiting for any kind of verification email or reward email allowing me to register my callsign for over 6 hours now.
    [*:270wwzsg]I can also continue to sign up using my name and the same email over and over again and all the website does is give me a new referral link.
    [*:270wwzsg]I also made an alternate gmail account to give that a shot but I haven't received anything there either.
    [*:270wwzsg]And other friends of mine who've clicked my referral link have had absolutely no problems registering their callsign early.




MOD EDIT/UPDATE 2/15: There is still an issue with Hotmail blocking our registration emails, and I don't know when that will be resolved.  To receive our emails on a hotmail account, user Nedarrb posted this helpful workaround: http://forums.adhesi...hp?p=6984#p6984 - Chris L.

I'm not sure what to tell you. It worked right off-the-bat for me.

Then again that was yesterday morning. There have been over 100K enlistees since then.

The process may become slower over a matter of time because of all the people registering. Then again, I could be wrong and do not want to give out any false information.

I've never used 'Hotmail' before - but you could perhaps try registering through a different email website such as 'G-mail' or 'Yahoo!'. Not that it may make any difference.

Good luck.

I appreciate the suggestions, but like I said, I've tried registering multiple times with the same Hotmail account and once with a brand new gmail account too.

Recaff, let me pass this on to someone and we'll get back to you.  If you can you post or PM me the first referral link you received and your name and e-mail info that will help.  Give us a day or two and we'll get it sorted out.

I just registered here after running into a very similar issue. I discovered after referring three other people that I did not receive an e-mail to reserve a callsign, nor an initial confirmation e-mail. Like the OP, I too tried using a Hotmail account.

A small amount of experimentation has shown that registering with the same e-mail yields a different referral code each time. However multiple registrations under the same name/e-mail still fails to produce a confirmation e-mail. (I should like to mention that I only tried an additional two times, so as not to spam the servers with potentially harmful duplicate entries)

After failing to register with a Hotmail account I tried using my Me.com e-mail address(which I use for all my non-gaming purposes) and properly received a confirmation e-mail.

I still have my original referral link and am unsure of what to do at this point beyond wait for further news on the issue. Regardless I hope the information I have provided is of some use.

Seems to be an issue when using a Hotmail account to register.

Yup.

Hope you get it sorted out man!

At this moment, as Chris Lalli has recently mentioned in the forum, there's definitely an issue with Hotmail yet.

I've been reported on that, at least, Gmail and Yahoo users are not having any issue with sign-ups.

I might give that gmail account another shot just to get it out of the way unless the original hotmail signup is interfering with it.

The workaround worked great for me.  Already registered my callsign.
