Is this even legal?

Early access is meant to go until launch, which was advertised as being 8/27/13. It is currently 8/26/13 and yet launch has apparently occurred with all of your previous issues still happening. I'm not sure as i'm no lawyer, but false advertisment is a crime. Not only did the majority of EA players not get to enjoy more than a few hours at most of this "early access" weekend, but now you're also going to cut it a day short? This is certainly not what one should expect from a major company, ANY major company for that matter.

I know it may be possible SE could pull some B.S. from their ToS, but this is still wronging their player base who spent extra to get a few early days, and then lose two of those days to errors and server problems which should have been fixed in beta, but then to lose that last day just because you want to launch early to make it seem like you're doing alright? Yet now many people are once more getting those errors that YOU failed to fix the last few days. please. just get your act together.

unexpected errors, so yes it's legal they've done everything they can to try to get it fixed after all

and shortening EA which is a service which is meant to be provided to us?

we probably signed a ToS or something that says, f*ck you, in so many words.... We're boned for now.

How is EA shortened? I guess it's already the 27th in some parts of the world so I wouldn't be surprised if non-EA players are beginning to show up.

It's not really shortened. I believe the EA was made available until the 30th. Most likely for those who can't pick up their copy of the game at a retail provider until later this week.

I'm absolutely furious, I pre ordered the collector's, and I have barely gotten to play in EA, not to mention phase 4 had tons of problems too. I demand compensation, and a solution to this problem, an error code is not a solution bring back the queue and limit the max population I know that people are logging out, so why the hell can't I join the line to get in? I'm disgusted, I have friends in ireland playing on my NA server (Gilgamesh) and they're in the 30s now, I'm barely in the 20s. I'm severely disappointed, four phases of beta and we're still encountering numerous problems. This isn't looking good and I'm considering a refund for my copy of the game.

@SyxFive yeah i'm sure that happened, but at least its a good game even if they're messing up their launch. We have that much at least

And even taking that into consideration, they have moved their launch date back two days to ensure their bugs are worked out ( which honestly was the best idea as it the coincides well enough with pax for them to get a HUGE amount of publicity from ) and which would give us the couple of lost days back. Then suddenly with no forewarning (admittedly this is definitely in their ToS) they move it even further up then it was originally planned

i'm sorry but..... EA is available till the 30th..... the definition of early access is access before it's released correct? Well EA by its own definition is no longer existant

If you looked at your service account, you would see you still have 4 days of free play time. 27-26 != 4. The recompense was made. Continuing to whine because you can't play before launch because you were promised "early access" does not really help anybody, since it was not advertised as "early guaranteed to play" anyways.
