I think it's funny how massively has ~3.5k keys left and mmorpg has 9k keys left. =P
Massively is a much better site than mmorpg.
Regarding effect of level, who cares. Just level up. Everyone will be at cap soon enough anyways. It's a non-issue.
It's also partially because not too many people enjoy creating accounts for sites they'll never use just for a beta key or other small perks.
As for the 'everyone will be at cap soon enough' part, that's like saying all the content from 1-59 doesn't matter, since we'll all be at level cap, so we need stuff to do then, not on the way there. That mindset is what makes MMO's beaten by the players within a month of launch. Then they cry there's nothing left for them to do, because the developers are forced to make content to appease their never ending appetite, as opposed to slow down their consumption speed.

Nice theoretical argument. But the fact is most people will spend their time in Tera at max level.

Is that before or after they get bored of clearing everything, rolling alts and getting them all to cap and repeating? Might as well cut all the content below, say 55, and just let us all play end game from launch. Could also just rename the game The Exiled Realm of End Game. Who cares about the world? The lore? The plot? Conflicts? Characters? Nah, it's all about grinding our gear from the last few dungeons then one hitting each other in PvP.
Lol, the MMORPG giveaway was like two days ago. I opened the site when it was still quite full of the keys, finished off half of my day and came back home. Around less than 200 left lololol.
