Hey it's Beta

[PeppeLepeu]

Cat the thing is did they not release to you your copy of the game early? I sure have had it released to me. Have they had the servers up early so you could access the servers early? I have played today so I know they have. Im not saying I am pleased or happy that im in the forums instead of working on ifirit, or getting closer to lvl 30. but it is what it is, and this isn't us getting ripped off... We did pay for early access which was granted to us the rest is a toss of the dice...

Early Access was given, they didn't lie, they didn't hold back. But with any MMO part of all the agreements you agree to before logging also includes notice that the servers can be pulled down without advance notice, that you aren't promised 24 hours a day etc.

When I preorder a game it's because I know i'm going to enjoy the game, or get value out of it. I don't preorder a game i'm unsure about because it gives me a few extra bonuses. Games are expensive enough as it is, so I don't just preorder willy nilly. IF people are preordering a game they were *unsure* about for the bonuses, well capitalistic darwinism at work folks.

I have no qualms with companies wanting to stack their cash up front. Pay off debts before interest adds up, put in interest bearing investments etc etc. The sooner you get your money, the faster you can grow it as a company. But that doesn't mean i've paid a premium for early access. I just preordered a game I'm going to enjoy and would have preordered it without early access anyway.

Who said anyone paid premium? O_o
You gotta admit it's unfair we're sittin' here twiddlin' our thumbs while JP is having a grand ol' time.
I kinda wanna get crap done since this is the only weekend I got off of work. :C
Oh well life ain't fair. qqweepchan.

So when websites I went too, said "Pre-Order" bonus, it wasn't a pre-order, they are charging me for Early Access too?

So surely the price of the game will go down after 27th? Because Early Access isn't available so they surely can't charge for it???

I have a character on a JP server for this reason.

It launch! If you didn't see this coming its your awakening. Every MMO is like this. One of the better launches in recent memory to be honest.

Ummm, you have to have a very short memory cause I recall that RIFT had an excellent launch with no issues

[LadyVaJedi]

Of course JP is ok. That is their home. It seems like they enjoy making us squirm.

[PeppeLepeu]

Rift was not a launch with no issues... and no the price wont go down. its the standard price you just get extra features for ordering it before others..

[Arriverderci]

Well, from 1.0 SE can't be making now screwy mistakes. People are going to say something and then occasionally bring up 1.0.
They pretty much need to be hittin' on nails perfectly from their major bomb out on the original. This is already deterring people.
:/

RIFT maybe be one of the better launches as well, I was not there for that launch. But I'm just saying its a good launch, not the best launch.
