I registered in the 1st day, but it was almost the end of it, so I think, I'm one of the last people, who solve the quill that day.
That's why I guess, the letter might come to me in the end of this week only. )
And what day did you register?

First day  I think I was one of the first lot, because I just kept sitting there refreshing the page and all of a sudden it was there!
It's almost 10pm here and I don't want to go to bed in case the letter comes  | |

You're lucky!) Keep refreshing your e-mail! I'm sure you'll get it as one of the first. )
Oh, that's quite lamentably. ( It's only 18.33 in my time zone.

So... I'm probably going to have to wait a month to get my welcome email? If that's the case, I'm gonna be angry.
EDIT: Irrationaly angry, and not more angry then if I hadn't got in, but angry none the less.

It honestly feels like the Welcome Letter will never come *sigh* I managed to get the Quill the first day, mostly because I'm an insomniac (live in Canada). So over all, even if I do have to wait what feels like forever, I still feel amazingly lucky. Cause that was at like, four or five in the morning here.

Due to overwhelming demand, you cannot access Pottermore right now.
Please be patient whilst we try to connect you.
What the heck is that about, have they started sending out emails or something? I was just checking to see if they changed anything on it.

Guys do not sit around waiting for your welcome emails. It could take weeks. They have till the 30th September to send it out .

If you were one of the lucky few who got early entrance by finding the Magic Quill, you WILL get your welcome email. The Pottermore site does say that it will take time for everyone to get their emails because remember this is a Beta site and they don't want 1 million people going in at the same time because that will most definitely "crash" the site. Pottermore does have from August 7th until September 30th to send out the emails. I know that everyone is anxious to get theirs....so am I...but sitting around waiting for the email is not going to make it come any sooner. Just make sure that when you check your emails that you also check your spam/junk folder just in case it mysteriously ended up there.
As of now, I have not heard of anyone getting any welcome emails yet....but please correct me if I'm wrong. I did check the Pottermore site a couple of minutes ago and the Sign On window is gone. So that could be an indication that they are getting the site ready and they don't want people trying to log in and bogging down the system while they are working on it.
I'm sure if SS knows of anything they will keep us informed. Until then, just hang in there. The wait will be worth it.

Yeah I am sure as I have played beta in games before and can say with honest experience they will most likely send the emails out in stages. Only a certain number of people will get in at a time, then they will add more as time goes on. Just be patient, the emails will come and there will be time to get in. (:

I'm not sitting at my computer compulsively refreshing my email all day. But at the same time, whenever I get the chance I still check it. Just in case. Whether I have to wait another day or another few weeks the feeling is still going to be the same when I finally see that email.

Well, I still haven't got e-mail too. ( It seems NO ONE has already got it. Yesterday I saw fakes only. I think, it has no sence waiting it as ardently as we do now. I agree with Danny Boy. That's so pity, actually. I thought I'll get it before the week is out, but all my hopes begin to crash!

Sweeney Todd: "Before the week is out," that's what he said.
Mrs. Lovett: And who says the week's out? It's only Tuesday.
Either way we're only halfway through the week. Its still possible. (:
But at the same time, pottermore insider says emails won't be send out straight away. So we also could be another week or so yet.
*sigh*

MischiefMaker, I can't believe you wrote that quote! That's just what I'm thinking of, when I used "before the week is out" in my the last post. I hope, you catch my thought, because it's difficult enough to explane something not in the Russian language. xD

I'm glad we were in sync there, ValerieSavina. The moment I read "before the week is out" I thought of that scene. xD

The log in thing on pottermore is gone. So does this mean that it's not even open to the early birds? | |

In the site of : Pottermore Insider
has this sentence : (Please note that the 'Sign in to Pottermore' link has been temporarily removed from the Pottermore site and that it will return when the first early access accounts are enabled.)
And Yesterday some people get already email from Pottermore (i think day 1 and 2 registered people get that,but i have read that some who registered day 3 has too get same email). Yesterday email has this text : You have been selected for early entry into Pottermore!
We’re really excited to confirm that you are one of the lucky people selected for early entry into Pottermore, ahead of when it is open-to-all in October, to help us add finishing touches!
We will activate your account between mid-August and the end of September, so keep checking your inbox for our Welcome email. When this arrives you will be able to enter Pottermore. In the meantime, you can check the Pottermore Insider for all the latest news, updates and announcements.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pottermore
I was lucky one who found the magicall quill at day 1 and registered, and yesterday get that new email.
Now i have to wait 3rd email what let me know when my account has activated and i can access to pottermore site.
I really hope that i has to only wait 4-6 days more!  | |
