Zakovich Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Yes I have. I re-read it, but not sure where you are going with what you're saying. You were taking my numbers literally. Obviously it's not just numbers. They aren't guarenteeing X number of early access each day. Of course it depends on if they are comfortable with their servers stability, etc. I was just clarifying the misconception that some people think that if they let 2 months of preorders today, then there will be 2 months granted tomorrow, which is not the case. From what I heard is that September had a really low preorder amount, which is why we saw such a large date range of people get in. yes that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntioFontaine Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I know Its against common wisdom to think that being angry at Bioware for giving early access (how dare they offer such a thing, the monsters! ), but I dont understand the hate... It was clear that the early access would offer UP to 5 days of early access. Worst case scenario, we will still get to play the game early...

Going by this.....tommorow is the day Oct-Dec get in. It actually makes sense because we are not far into Dec and it seems to be working on a 3 to 5 month list (maybe first they got rid of the first half of the pre order months quickly). And since the amount of Pre-Orders decreases apparently in Sept.-December Then they can make up the excess by putting people they missed in. These days are going by slow.

This is unless there are pre-order spikes as we get closer to Dec 20th. I know many people have only pre-ordered in December so it could take another day to get all the way done.

Darren_Korr Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ordered on 11/26 I don't imagine I'll be in until Late tomorrow or Friday. Based on what I have seen so far, in 2 days they invited July, August, September and almost whole October. I think they they will be able to complete preorder invites tomorrow. Maybe I am wrong.

mootsie Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) This whole thing smells of the "due to demand, everyone should preorder cause we won't make enough retail copies of the game when it officially launches" comments that were made. BW has done everything in order to rope in as much money as possible before the launch of their game as is their right to. It's just feels like they understood how this would all work out and of course someone is always unhappy with anything. I just wish it wasnt like this with an mmo type game where the qualities of the persistent server worlds can be forged in hours. There is a now a rift between people who got to play Tuesday and ppl who will get to play tomorrow or friday. I'd trade a few hours of downtime for a few extra days to have the fun of leveling with the rest of my guild who are already playing.

Kinnara Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 “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.” Two, our plan is to continue to add servers - but carefully, and in response to demand. We need to monitor that demand and role out servers accordingly. A long-term recipe for MMO failure is to add a lot of servers early on, and then when population decreases, have to close those servers and merge them together. You purchased the minimum amount of server and letting fewest player on one at a time, to see when are the servers are full, only by then you will add servers. If in the process, you screw half of your customers don't matter yes? As long as you are making a profit that's Winning I guess. “A long-term recipe for MMO failure is to add a lot of servers early on, and then when population decreases, have to close those servers and merge them together.” If you study this statement in more detail it will show that who ever is lunching this game knows that it wont have lasting appeal. In a way they are on negative side and do not consider the positive side to try to merge both sides together to create better outcome. I always try to look at both sides to find the truth in the middle. There are many ways to lunch games like this, for example if it was me I would fix the waves by adding bonus items to waves that are after the first one. The bonus would be a double experience item that will last x amount of time and the x amount of time bonus will incise with later waves. First wave no bonus experience item. Second wave 2 hours 2x experience item Third wave 4 hours 2x experience item. And so on. Whoever is in charge of lunching this game has done not the best they could in my opinion. They have neglected 60% or more of people who were wishing to play this game making them feel less and left out. Creators of this game may have good intentions but what good intentions can do if they are based on ignorance. The road to dark side is build with good intentions of ignorance. Anyway the lesson of life can be learned in many ways some may try to escape it by playing games but there is no escape from truth only denial. I ask If to live a lie is to deny life it self? Well, some may say that truth hurts? I say truth hurts only if it's meant to do so as well lie is for not all lies are meant to hurt. The greatest lie there is, is the one who lied that believes in it them self for they will not know the truth. Lie is not the truth but the meaning of it is.
