That feature did not come untill eq had been out for 2 years and with an expansion. This game has been out 8 days and you want it to have the same content as one that has been out years? Comeon... The wonderous things about MMOs is new content is added all the time. Its why i dont rush to get max level. usually the meat of the content released at launch is low and mid level content and the end game content gets increased later as the masses start reaching end game.

LMAO this thread is becoming epic. Not because of the original post, it gave me a chuckle and i appreciated it, but because of the complete total ******* who are trolling the OP as if he was serious because they are either too lazy to read (i.e. Retarded) or too stupid to comprehend sarcasm (i.e. Retarded)

8/28 in

im inclined to agree.

looks like late august possibly 8/27 maybe a part of 8/28 got in.

8/28 and Wha wha not in damn!

I have not complained at all on the forums about the headstart at all. But am annoyed at how its been implimented. I think OPs rant is not even the real complaint most people have. I dont speak for everyone, but my opinion of it is I do not care that I am not in 7 days ahead, 6 days ahead, or even 5 days ahead. What I and a lot of others are annoyed about is there ARE PEOPLE PLAYING NOW. But not everyone. Why were they chosen, why is their money more valuable than mine? Why do a few get to start before everyone else. They paid the same amount, but because I bought my pre-order on 7/21 but didnt redeem the code till 8/28 I am punished. I consider it punished because now there is a good chance I wont get the names I want, I plan to play on a PVP server where I will now be at a dissavantage and while I am not speed leveler some are and they are out of the race before it even began for them. all that with the included lack of communication. I would be less upset if I had an ETA, if I was told before the start of EGA of the plan instead of it being left a complete suprise. As it is now, every time a head start is near and I hear my phone chime indicating a new email, my heart jumps as I go check it hoping I have become a "CHOSEN ONE". Not really good customer service.

8/28 here. Sucks cause I pre-ordered the game 7/26, I just never redemmed the code not realizing it would make a difference later. . Realistically, Im hoping for sometime tomorrow maybe even the day after but would be a great suprise to squeak in today altho I think its unlikely

I agree with this. For some, a name is a huge deal and motivator for playing that character. Its annoying thinking there are people filling up there character slots, possibly on multiple servers with name reservations

Sacramento here (Folsom to be exact)
