I have just received an email that says this

Hello Windows Live Messenger Beta Tester,	  
We run beta programs to make our products the best they can be. You?ve helped us do just that with the Windows Live? Messenger Beta. 	
To show our appreciation, we?ve created an exclusive Messenger? theme pack that we?re sending to you and the other Beta testers who?ve helped us so much. This free Kung Fu Bunny theme pack for Messenger, complete with dynamic display pictures, Messenger backgrounds, and a wink, is a token of our thanks.

Why a rabbit skilled in the martial arts? We could tell you it?s because you?re a bug-busting samurai of the beta-testing world but, really, it?s just because he made us laugh. We hope you have fun with him too.

You?ll only be able to download this free Messenger theme pack for the next 30 days, so get it now! 

Again, many thanks for your help!

Sincerely,

The Windows Live Messenger Beta Team

I downloaded it and :p looks very nice :p winks , emoticons and etc ...

why did they need us to update our address if this is all their giving us??

Spam :whistle:

And yes, all managed beta testers were told to update our addresses.

Judging from what people are reporting, I have a feeling that people who were invited by other members got this e-mail, not the managed team who could post on connect.

I think your pretty much on the ball with this, Planetik, the invited users were the ones who got the emails regarding the theme pack for WLM. While manged beta testers, (Myself being one, and explains why I havnt received an email about the theme pack) will recieve something in the mail, possibly a webcam.

If you read the Connect page for WLM (for those in the managed beta), you'll notice the bit about them sending addresses to the shipping company...

^^ to the above. If you gave them your correct address when you registered onto Connect, there's nothing to change and they have your address and should receive whetever they may be sending. They just wanted to make sure if you moved or had a change in address that they be updated.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
