Please fix the Store

What force is making it necessary to pre-order it day 1? There is no extra benefit, glory or anything in buying it day 1, so you can just as well wait a week for the situation to resolve itself.

Because we've been told that the CE is strictly limited and the Japanese version sold out almost instantly. That's why. It's first come, first served or lose out.

I'm on NA store and it doesn't show heavensward anywhere yet other people say they can add it to cart, what am I missing?

Here is my suggestion to SE on how to handle this in the future, because right now, you just pulled a 2.0 launch style DDOS on your website and its not pretty.

• First you should make a special site for pre-ordering.
• Place this site on a dynamically scaling infrastructure that will not swamp under the load of up to 5 million people. Think Amazon E2C cloud or other services similar to them for e-commerce special events.
• Now that its up, test it, alot, there are services that will do this stress testing for you.
• Finally after you have battle tested the site, then and only then, should it be ready for launch.

Your reputation is more important than this little debacle. Now that this is over, its time to plan on making sure the servers don't even twitch on pre-release day and release day.

I pressed F5 twice in three different tabs. My order was successful.

Carry on.

You barely have any posts on the forums, and you choose one of the four of them to boast to everyone who have not made their orders yet? You are an evil person.

I get stuck on the cart page.

For anyone having trouble for ordering the NA version... I tried IE, Firefox and Chrome, but kept getting stuck when viewing the cart. However, when I did it from my phone's browser, it worked nearly instantly. >_> Give it a try if you have a smart phone, lmao.
