Is this even legal?

[OhhhhYahhhh]

What are you guys talking about? games release at midnight, its standard. Since its the 27th in some parts of the world the game is out and they are logging in, the rest of us who are in EA get our items. non preorder ppl still have to get their discs which they dont have til the 27th in NA. Where have you confirmed that players in NA are logging in ahead of schedule?



They did not push launch back. they extended early access meaning you are credited 3 days of game time. the game still officially launches on the 27th. http://www.belial.pt/ffxiv-early-access-

I have already got my CE today.

Where did I say I paid for an error free game? Please show me. As a customer I am entitled to my complaints.

Check out my earlier quote from you. And no your are not entitled to anything, entitlement implies ownership however slight, you don't own anything in regards to this game.

Or when the same things happen in almost every other major MMO. Its a launch for crying out loud. The only thing that really sux is their communication with us, and they are working on that a little.

I got my game registration code and i have 34 days in my account from that and the extended early access period. I'm basically giving them these 34 days to get shit together, or they won't be seeing a payment beyond this. I understand tech issues happen so I get that; still not happy about it but I won't be going around crying the sky is falling or threatening legal action.

If people are not willing to give them that time to work things out then don't register your game and get a refund if you can! or if you're suspecting you can't get a refund hold on to your game code until it looks more promising.

Actually yes, i am entitled to my complaints. Again, as a paying customer. Do they need to actually act upon them? no, but I am allowed my complaints. Also in regard to there being no negligence, how about failure to prepare for what may have been only a quarter of their possible player base? that seems pretty negligent to me

The game was accessible on Saturday(however ridiculously overcrowded), then they decided to intentionally block the majority of customers from logging in as a resolution to the instance system being unable to handle the player numbers. That's not unexpected. That's lack of preparation plain and simple.

In many industries similar behavior is illegal. Healthcare, or some utilities services for example. Entertainment and retail services really have no such mandates however, which is a same.

You should at least file a complaint with the BBB.

The BBB doesn't actually do anything helpful, I hope you realize this. Do some research before wasting people's time.
