Code giveaway
 
MOD NOTE: This is a legitimate promotional email from the site. I verified this with Boethius last night and there is no malicious code or intent going on here. User lists were not sold or anything silly like that. This is from us.

Apologies for any confusion on the matter.

Anyone followed the link and got the free diamonds from the key code? I actually play Lord of Ultima while I'm supposed to be working but am also assuming this is a scam.

Yes. It actually does work. I have my 100 free diamonds. After you sign up for the linked website and confirm your account you should get your keycode in ~15 min. Did an online TrendMicro scan on my computer afterwords and it doesnt appear I picked up anything nasty from the process.
