And yet Lodestone requires you to just input the URL and read away...

My god what is this I speak of? Reading? Blimey, a new concept? Is it a New contraption? A Delicacy of divine taste?! Please please inform me... /sarcasm

I can read, thanks. However I need to know that there's something for me to read before I can start doing so.

The game had an archived forum, a beta forum, a lodestone 1.0, a lodestone 2.0, a product website, an account management website, a registration website that required one type of registration key in order to provide you with a different type of key that had to be input into yet another different website... this game hasn't exactly been known the organization of its web presence, or the ease of finding what people are looking for, even when they KNOW that there's something to look for.

Then to expect people to know that they need to be looking at all of the game's different locations online, just in case there happened to appear a limited time offer... while the game's official service was offline, and had already been offline for several months? Just saying that you can't be too surprised by how this news slipped past so many people.

Yes, it was an easy thing to do if you knew the details about it. Yes, it may have even been easy to find those details if you knew to look for it. But the data suggests that nearly a quarter of players were never even made aware that there was anything to look for.
