Good. AC's should be seen as a Class, not just a variation. It's the AC that has the build points

Just an hint: If you join an MMORPG 2 years after its launch, is the economy there so screwed that you're unable to play the game? You're complaining about a "handful" of people that will be ahead on the economy. After a few months there will be at least a million doing that. What you're saying is that the only way one can possible play and use the game's economy is to be the first one on a server?

It might be because it's a week day and early. Last night there was a lot of complains about full servers. Also not that light/medium/full tags are based on limits that are created by the devs, that can be changed. Lowering limits is a known way to "force" distribution of players among servers.

For some reason, a lot of memories about Warhammer Online came to mind.

Paroting what I've read: Turn off shadows.

I'm sure there are. Every action should be in a log. Exp > x in time < y -> check account for exploit.

Woop... I was going to repost my post, but seems someone already did it

Just shooting in the dark here, but maybe they lowered the number of players per server to get the Full msg, so people would distribute themselves through the servers in a more balanced way.

That's people's own fault. BW never promised that anyone in specific would get to play in the 1st day of EGA. They were specific when telling that only a few would.

Actually, you got charged $5.00 for the pre-order. The pre-order offers as a bonus a UP TO 5 day (changed to 7 days) of early access. UP TO are the key words.
