  2. ...and took an arrow to the knee. Oh wait, that was me...
  3. October 25th here and didn't get in, lol
  4. Really? Very sad. Can my mate have your account and you can stay on the forums?
  5. So they give all there 'reason' why they're not adding more ppl on today. So what happens on launch day proper when the servers go down and we are fully paid up customers and they have our money and had years to get this right? They want to insure the stable, smooth running!! What does that mean? They don't know if their system can handle it!!!!! Damn, and so close to launch proper. I suppose they'll say 'sorry'. We're working on it
  6. Obviously not a 'real' gamer. Could be on your way to the next 50 but your on a forum...
  7. Aye, I'm off for the evening as well. See you all tomorrow for more fun and frolicks at Bio
  8. Originally Posted by Kinegos This isn't a troll, and isn't exactly QQ although there is some of that involved. I just want to put it down for the record that the way this early access program has been implemented is truly one of the most poorly conceived ideas that I've ever personally encountered in over 25 years of playing video games. I've personally participated in launches of 6 other MMO games, and there is nothing in those experiences that compares to how ridiculous this process is. When you are dealing with a pre-launch even that is only for pre-order customers, after an extensive and massive beta testing period that was a huge success according to nearly all sources involved - it begs the huge question as to what is the limiting factor in the way you have chosen to roll out this game. I personally participated in the beta in a very limited way (not by choice, mind you, I just wasn't lucky enough to get a key) and was only online during the big Thanksgiving weekend test. That test was wonderful - there were a huge number of servers, and a huge population of testers. The game performance was amazing. So, EA/BW - what exactly are you afraid of? The ONLY way this should have been done is to have given ALL pre-orders (perhaps separated only by level of game purchased - i.e. CE customers get 7 days, SE get 5, e.g.) access at exactly the same time. Of course it will overload the servers and queues would ensue and all that - but that's what we all expect. Making your customers wait unknowingly with no idea how long it will be or when to expect an email is just adding insult to injury. A poor alternative would have been to send out emails with a set time and day that your access would be available. I read in the top post how you are monitoring the server performance and are rolling waves based on server performance. Are you seriously saying you have to wonder at this point if your servers can perform up to the task - when you probably still have 90% of the launch day players yet to even be able to play? That is not at all a good message to be sending at the beginning of an MMO franchise. At any rate, I love this game. I love BW. But I truly despise and am sickened by the way you chose to put your customers through so much stress for absolutely no good or justifiable reason. I truly hope you improve, because this is a very very poor way to start out.
  9. The only weakness I can see in the way the early access is being handled, and hasn't been feasably answered yet, is that on the 20th we're all gonna log on so if the servers can't handle us all then what makes them think adding us slowly will make any difference to the servers once we're all on? Have they got some kind of magic servers that are organic or something and can 'grow' with the amount of people to accomodate them? Either the servers can handle us or not and they'll never know until they stick us all on.
  10. So whats this gift you gave bio. You purchased the game (no gift there), you get 1st month play (no gift there), launch day is 20th and anything before is free, early access so no gift there.... Sending them a book token is a gift...
  11. GAME LAUNCH DAY is 20th, get it 20/12/11 and not 15th. the 15 is early, free, access
  12. I loled at this guy. Go on then, actually put your money where your whinney mouth is and cancel. No loss to a single person but you
  13. The damn MMO hasn't started. This earlier, early access.
  14. 500 what? If pages then mines showing 251. Must be down to how u have settings set
  15. I ordered CE on 25/10/11. When do I get in? When!!
  16. Good for you.... stick it to him... (the bar steward) lol
  17. What an arse.... You seem to hate things so much but bet we see you in game... I'm not in and I'm not crying. I'm happy. Its here, finally. We'll all be in on the 20th. Why are people getting so insanely, headbangingly angry. We were promised 'upto' 5 days early (free) access. We're actually getting another 2 days earlier, early access.
  18. Well thats me then. Just logging in now . . . . oh wait . . .
