1.0 CE letdown

**ZakarnRosewood** · 04-05-2013 01:05 AM

It would be kewl if it came with a Phoenix hat since the game has risen from the ashes of 1.0

Anyway, this was an old thread. I only wanted to do a quick update. All i was really hoping for is that Yoshi-P acknowledge the 1.0 CE owners, which he now has. I could care less what it is we get but its very nice to know he remembered us. Like most others, I will probably get a ARR CE for the PS3 for my son ho wants to play with me.

Thanks Yoshi!

You got a week early entrance, the Certificate is really cool.. (I have it framed in my room)

However...I got duped out of my in game items. They went to my since cancelled beta account (because I didn't know you were supposed to reactivate it).

I'm hoping they give me a second chance there..

Yep I find putting myself in hospital due to drinking out of a toxic coated "mug" really cool and useful!! That thing was bloody poisonous lol...

Anyway I don't get this self entitlement crap people seem to feel just lately. You got what you paid for back then, if SE decide to give us guys the ARR CE In-game items I'd say we should be greatful tbh.

Expecting more than even that just cuz you bought the game way back when just shows your personal greed and self-entitlement issues tbh. And to be blunt, its not a pleasant trait to show the world!

Always wash those type of thermos cups before using it the first time. (^_^ ) But, i know what you mean... When you drink directly from the cup, you will get a metal after taste. So, i would pour my coffee in a regular mug first. Makes quite a difference.

I've read a lot of posts where people "demanded" some kind of compensation (like a new CE from ARR) because they've bought a CE version of the game for 80 bucks, decided that the game a bunch of crap but still decided to "stick around".

(The following is not directed to anyone specific, but to the general customer)

The thing is, a Collectors Edition of a game is a package of a game which contains more then just a game. The package contains items which a collector would like to collect. In the European version of the Collectors edition, you got the game, a Security Token, a Thermos Cup, a Cloth Map an in-game item (the Onion Helm) and an Artwork book.

The game itself is exactly the same for those who purchased the Standard version of the game. It doesn't really matter if you think the game was broken or not, you will have exactly the same game as everyone else. Just because you've purchased a Collectors Edition, doesn't mean that you can demand something extra when ARR is released because you've already got the items that made the package a Collectors Edition.

For me, the security token was the reason i bought the Collectors Edition, not the other items. Those are just novelties that came with the package.

(Again, the above was not directed to anyone specific)

At least, the way i read the OP was that Rosewood was disappointed that (s)he got a certificate while we europeans got a thermos cup instead. Well, i can imagine that. I personally would also have preferred a Thermos Cup instead of a Certificate. But, i can tell you that i've seen worse CE packages, like just a handful of postcards for a CE version that would cost 15 bucks more then the regular version. (^_^ )

That being said, Yoshi-p mentioned the following in the Live Letter broadcasted today (like ZakarnRosewood mentioned earlier):

A21: The Collector's Edition may come with some in-game items... Don't worry, we do have plans to do something for the 1.0 players that have purchased the original Collector's Edition!

I think it's fantastic that Yoshi-p would even consider doing something like this, but please... Don't expect too much. It will probably be something like a special minion or other type of in game item. (^_^ )

I find this to be more of a sign of a persons unpleasant traits moreso that what I was looking for. I have clarified my stance several times throughout the thread and even very recently (4 posts before yours on the same day), but since it seems people are getting the wrong impression I wish to clarify.

Fist, here's that post,

Thanks Yoshi!

To expand on this I was thinking more for the situation where there is one person in the house that plays and bought the CE from 1.0. Now ARR comes out and he would like some of the bonuses from that package too but has no need for the extra Reg code. It would be nice if people were provided an option where they could purchase a digital upgrade to get the digital extras contained in the CE or even an option where they could upgrade to the physical extras without the extra codes.

I think people would be more than willing to pay a little extra for the new CE. If they did not decide to make any such offers I would not be bothered or upset. I do not feel entitled, I know I got what I payed for and I made use of it, I'm not eating an entire meal then complaining it was bad and asking for a new free meal. To continue that analogy I ate most of my meal then was told the chef has just updated the menu to include a desert with the meal I just purchased, I only want to upgrade my meal for the price of the desert and not have to buy the whole meal again just to get the desert. (what's with me and food analogies?)

As my above quoted post says, I will be purchasing the ARR CE anyway. This just means I wont have to steal my son's bonus item codes.

The problem, and you're going to maybe keep having it, is we see the OP, don't check the date and think...WTH? they just said... I made a similar mistake myself (my bad). I know you tried to do the right thing, by necro-bumping and old tread on the same topic, but it happens so rarely that people handle things the proper way on these forums, that you confused us all :P. Which is why people keep replying back to your OP and not, your amended 'YAY!'

Before this becomes a 'Well they should read the whole thing first... True, but it's a several page topic, and the only relevant news is in the last couple posts...so without a marker that says 'Start Here for current posts!' it's inevitable people keep commenting on the OP.

The OP edit might help, but it might confuse more too... /meh. It happens.

I read the first few pages without looking at the dates (oops) so never actually read your rectified responses in regards to your OP.
For that I apologise!

Damn Necro-Bumps confusing my little Lala sized Brain.....

This goes to Kinseykinz too:

Thanks and sorry for the confusion, I realized i needed to update the OP, I hope in doing so i can save some confusion and even left the original version there for those prolific readers on our forums. I hope the edit makes things a little more clear. Sorry for the necro-bump but i hate making hundreds of threads for the same topic and just wanted to update this one. Thanks for reading!

**Shougun** · 04-05-2013 05:20 AM

what's about the regular edition? lol

"hey shaddup Shougun, its not the CE"

>.>; ;

The regular and CE had their own special item codes (Goggles, Onion Helm) will this happen again?

If not does it mean regular will have to buy the whole 2.0 CE or will their be a digital upgrade option?

**ShinigamiKayla** · 04-05-2013 08:40 AM

I wonder if they knew and will give awards to those who have onion helm or how else would they tell that they are going to give 1.0 CEs something more o.o/
