Thread: Non-Legacy 1.0 player worried

Any other non-legacy 1.0 players who didn't pre-order a new copy of the game worried that SE's next solution to the server overcrowding issue will simply be to lock us out of the game until a few weeks after launch? It would seem to be in keeping of their current "solution" of just locking some players out of the servers. It also kinda sucks that they won't even let us use the new Lodestone website because we don't have a pre-order code or legacy status. Would be nice to at least be able to post on my LS mates blogs to kill some time until I get to play the game. Anyway I just got a bad feeling our free copy of the game might not be available to us until long after Tuesday. Hope I'm wrong and I hope everything gets up and running right soon and I supremely hope nobody is stuck reading my worried little rant simply because they can't log in to play what seems to be a very fun game.

I even mentioned it in the ARR beta forum but I was shot down by white knights immediately.

Looking at Early Access... look who gets the last laugh? .... No one.

When the 27th rolls around and the flood gate is opened.... I fear for the worst.

Sure I have my character data from OB but I'm afraid my wife (who didn't participate in Open Beta) won't be able to create a new character because of the lock-out. ~sighs~ 2 weeks free trail for returning players? Should be 3 weeks now.

Perhaps 6.99 Legacy >regular 9.99 ?.

I just hope the new character I created during B4 doesn't get deleted.
