As for logging in at MegaCorp - probably everybody was able to do so? I did neither search for the site, nor tried to get on. Did you, or are you just banging a drum because it didn't cross your mind? From what I heard, MegaCorp was mentioned in the Ryzom "bible", so those players who have actually read it - and there seem to be plenty - have obviously researched for it, and I think there even were links posted somewhere on the Ryzom forums for those who have no idea what's all about. That people could log in pretty early was unfortunate, though. But from what I see, everybody could have been that "lucky".
No they couldn't it was tried by Xtarsia before the event. Try it, go to the megacorp website and try logging in with your normal credentials. It wont let me in so I can only assume you have to do the mission first.

You can't "complete" the mainland. If one thinks one has seen or done everything there, one is kidding oneself. But be prepared to "get out what you put in," because the mainland does not coddle or hold hands.

Other games - they give you a cookie whether you succeed or not, in fact you don't even have to participate. Ryzom takes your cookie, eats it in front of you, and slaps you 2 or 3 times for bringing a cookie in the first place.
