Derity Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 As a paying customer, I feel I have been wrongfully guided and misled into purchasing a product under false advertising. The advertisement of the Early Game Access led me and I'm sure many others, to believe that we were paying for the right to play the game from the 15th of December. I am not a long-time follower of this game, I only preordered the game yesterday. The preorder cost me £45 on origin.com, I only paid extra as I was led to believe this was the only way I would gain early access to the game. Following the community today however, it seems a lot has changed. Players are being let in today and I have heard (what I hope to be) rumors of some players like myself, only being let in on the 19th. Giving us one day of early access. £5 for one day of game-time. This is outrageous and I hope that I can get a refund if this is what I am expected to be paying for, against terms that I was suckered into believing.

dwtsweeb Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 On origin it definitely said "Up to 5 days early access" not "5 days early access" there is a big difference. 1 day early access does fall into the "Up to 5 days early access" bucket.

Disketa Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 That is not true, it was stated hundred times before that the early acces is UP TO 5 days (7 days). And I am pretty much sure that the cost of this preorder card will be cut off the final price on your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavensAgent Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's only a rumor. They're letting players into the game as quickly as possible; if there are no hiccups you might even be invited by the 15th. That said, the advertised early access period was up to 5 days, meaning 5 or less. Even if you were to get only 1 day of early access, they will have still fulfilled their promise.

Ergos Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) im not gonna say what im thinking, or i would get banned from forums But: - its the 13th today, and you still have no clue if you are getting into game before the 15th, still you complain - EVERYWHERE its clearly stated that early game access is up to 5 days, until recently when bioware decided to give everyone extra days and start the 13th, still you complain - you are a member for the forums since december, and think you are entiteld the same pre-access game time as people who bought the game on day 1? Please do some more reading before opening threads that has no basis at all Edited December 13, 2011 by Ergos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL the 5 you paid was not for the right to play the game, it was a deposit on your pre-order.....the 5 will be subtracted from your total price not added on......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountains Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 False advertising is starting a company named "Going Out of Business" so you can hold "Going Out of Business Sales" every weekend, not extending Early Access for another two days.

LordArkais Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 They more than likley added the two extra days of early access to allow everyone to get the UP TO 5 DAYS they advertised. So it looks to be people who pre-ordered July-Aug will get in today on Dec 13th, people who ordered Sept-Oct get in on the 14th. And last but not least orders from Nov-Dec will get in on the 15th. Don't throw a fit and start posting BS until the 15th comes and your not in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chomag Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You do realize the early release is not official release and it's just a gift from the devs, right ? So, someone just gave you a gift and you whine it's not what you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
