Mandrax Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Negative. The damage has already been done. By the time some of us get in, there will already be quite a few high level players with pvp and economic advantages already. Even better, there have been that many people allowed to horde up 8 character names each, leaving the rest of us with choices like "scumbagsteveoioioioi". We all paid the same $5 pre-order fee. Is it not reasonable to expect the same benefits? If anything at all, people with the more expensive versions of the game should have gotten added bonuses (not me for the record). Oh well, lesson learned, don't pre-order from EA/BW. EA fooled me on BF3 too so I really shouldnt be surprised. No, it's not reasonable to expect the same benefits when it was very clear that those pre-ordering sooner would get more access. And the damage has NOT been done. There are tons of people in-game having fun, and less and less QQ on the forums. In a couple of days it will all be forgotten. Maybe not by the serial complainers, but then again, no matter how BioWare handled it, they would complain anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaphasic Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If ends up being true, and they let everyone in tommorrow and all goes smoothly it will be the best launch of any mmo ive seen... Letting everyone have the full 5 days of ega would be awesome.. Its a rare thing nowadays for a game developer to do what they promised and not use shady schemes to get away with murder. According to official updates in the EGA sticky, plans are for "end of Nov" tomorrow, rest friday. I'm a friday cat, and it's STILL a great rollout in my opinion.

Mackuss Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It will swing the other way and everyone who got in on the 13th/14th will be screaming about not having access to these servers. hahahaha good God you know the nature of humanity too well.

DuriZap Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Gods of launching, would make everyone enter at the same time. I bet you are a guy who uses words like "fantastic" and "awesome" all the time, not understanding their real meaning, but only the media degraded meaning of them.

You're right, I sometimes forget how forgiving and forgetful MMO players on the forums are. People will be so amazed at how great the game is that they won't care that their character name was already taken and that most players already have pvp and economic advantages over them. At this point, Id go as far to say that getting EGA now has no benefit over getting access on release day considering there are massive amounts of people with 2 days of time already. Also, is it really good for EA/BW to have people ALREADY questioning if they want to continue playing this game before it's even off the ground???

Mackuss Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) The minute the first pre order enetred the game yesterday 7 days became the standard amount of extra game play for a pre order purchase. hahahaha, please...please stop with the facade. I think you need to look up the definition, be it colloquial or not, of the word "standard". The minute the first preorder entered the game, 7 days became the ceiling for amount of extra gameplay. And guess what? Not everyone gets to reach the ceiling. Oh, and you know what else? That was known for about a week, now! Are they wizards?! And noone is getting less product. They're getting exactly what they've been told, and agreed to upon preordering when they decided to and entering their preorder code. It's as simple as THAT. Seriously though, your attempt at extreme verbosity was not lost on my intelligence. You have completely interpreted the world they way you wanted to just now.

LordOzone Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 They will officially be the gods of MMO launching? 45 New servers have appeared, could it be a sign? http://www.swtor.com/server-status Because of the pre-launch Guild System.... .....gonna have queues no matter what. You got guild members trying to get into the servers they been assigned to and that is going to continue well past the 20th, no matter how many servers they open. My guild has been assigned to Vornskr, so that is the only server I and all my guild members will be trying to get into. Granted I am now only up to 15 members, there were several that were over 500. What about those that didn't/don't get into EGA and will be joining their friends and family at retail launch? How about those in the EGA that just don't have access yet? Those servers will continue to receive new players daily. It doesn't matter if there are 50 empty servers, people that are waiting to join their guilds wont use them. I don't think they thought the guild pre-launch through very well as those players probably should have been allowed earlier access if they wanted to avoid queues. So BioWare saying they want to avoid queues is stupid when you factor in the people in guilds trying to join their companions. Just something to keep in mind with the queues on the original EGA servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackuss Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 you keep using that word, i do not think it means what you think it means. Top urban dictionary definition (seeing as this is an internet meme...) n. A personality characteristic found in most males that lead them to: 1. Rush to the aid of any female they see who appears in any form of distress. 2. Become attracted to said damsel in distress. 3. Follow the dying code of chivalry and generally act like a nice guy. Bioware is not a female, and they do not appear to be in distress. We are not attracted to bioware. There is no part of groaning at people with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement who can't read that is part of the chivalry codes of europe. you pwned him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackuss Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 lmao, really? It means you are a rabid "insert company" fanboy in internet lingo.

Valdrixx Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Why does so many people keep saying December preorders will get in on monday.

FalconDroid Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 BW did right despite what whiners were saying 2 days ago. Here's why: The elitists and those that preordered in July who "deserved" ::cough:: to be in on day one got their one single day of elitism. Day two gave those who preordered in the gap, in the lonely times. Day three will bring everyone up to speed, will end the complaining about xp hacks and 5 days early access and everyone will stop saying this is the worse launch ever when it clearly was planned this way with great success.

pattongb Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 That would be an heroic effort. That would mean everybody got at least the original 5 days of EGA -- which Bioware has never promised and truly has no obligation to even try to accomplish. If that happens, anyone who complained about EGA should feel incredibly sheepish if they are a half-way decent human being. They should be made to do the laundry for Bioware employees for the whole 2012 to make up for their insanity over the last couple days. Even if everyone gets in by Friday, that's excellent. ^QFTW Excellent!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Grandmaster_ Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 According to my math they have given just under 500,000 of all pre-orders EGA already. Approximately 100,000 were given EGA on day 1 and approximately 400,000 received EGA on day 2. This means just under half of all pre-orders have already been given EGA. EGA - Day 1 Estimated Invite Total = 119,260 07/21/11 - 07/23/11 = 19,324 07/24/11 - 07/30/11 = 99,936 EGA - Day 2 Estimated Invite Total = 344,253 07/31/11 - 08/06/11 = 84,671 08/07/11 - 08/13/11 = 60,993 08/14/11 - 08/20/11 = 36,726 08/21/11 - 08/27/11 = 32,680 08/28/11 - 09/03/11 = 25,452 09/04/11 - 09/10/11 = 26,355 09/11/11 - 09/17/11 = 16,778 09/18/11 - 09/24/11 = 23,221 09/25/11 - 10/01/11 = 37,377 Given that the numbers are not exact I would put the estimate of current EGA players at 463,513. The fact that almost quadruple the amount of players from yesterday were given EGA today makes me almost positive that all pre-order customers will be in by Friday at the latest. EGA - TBA (to be announced) = 475,845 10/02/11 - 10/08/11 = 54,709 10/09/11 - 10/15/11 = 30,283 10/16/11 - 10/22/11 = 57,573 10/23/11 - 10/29/11 = 48,732 10/30/11 - 11/05/11 = 43,779 11/06/11 - 11/12/11 = 54,543 11/13/11 - 11/19/11 = 72,708 11/20/11 - 11/26/11 = 74,916 11/27/11 - 12/03/11 = 15,734 12/04/11 - 12/10/11 = 22,868 /bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
