Please fix the Store

[Meridian]

I can only imagine the panic going on at SE Server HQ right now with the clock ticking down to the Americans being able to pre-order, too... While still attempting to clear up this mess.

i have kept myself awake to get a SE STORE ONLY CE edition, and so far this has been a very disappointing thing :c
honestly you have over 4 million adventurers that you boast about, and you weren't expecting people to flock to the servers, if i was in your shoes thinking ahead i would of had back up servers to cover the massive load.

if the EU store is down while your fixing it i would back up the hell out of the NA servers otherwise that will go down just as fast and none will be happy.

Meanwhile, at Square-Enix, tensions continue to rise as Square-Enix's finest struggle to get the store up and running.

Really need a update ^_^

Maybe the best is just make the preorder start tomorrow again at the same hour instead of having us all waiting pressing F5!

This is what one of SE's twitter pages said to me regarding the matter earlier:



Apparently it is normal for companies to come up with one price then just shove a different currency sign in front of it.

Square Portal is a fansite.

That's a fan page and no, it is not the norm.

As previously mentionned this is a fan account and not as official statement.
However what they said isn't wrong. It is fairly common now for publishers to only change the currency sign (and invoque more or less dubious reasons to do so) from dollars to euros to pounds... And keep the CE for themselves to avoid concurrency with a fair(ish) price.

Anyways I don't think the price will change unfortunately. So instead of pressing them to change it maybe we should try to ask when and where will the CE be available outside of SE's store? Their post said "for now", so we have reasons to believe maybe Amazon will have some CE in pre-orders within a few days' time.

This is the first publisher I've actually seen do this for a year+. Plenty used to do it a few years ago and then people got really angry with it and every one stopped.
