Bonus wave!!!!

Recommended Posts

Im not worried about pre-order fees as much as the fact they charged my bank the full amount twice. When I called they told me it was normal and that the other amount wouldn't be put back into my bank account until release. So they have 120 dollars of my money for a 60 dollar item and never told me anywhere they were going to have an "authorization fee" and put a hold on money for a product they have already recieved payment for. It is the last time I ever purchase anything from Origin store. This is already looking like another bad company just like Blizzard. Figures anything tied to EA would have issues since they are money hungry ******* and never seem to care about the player base / consumers. "We do anything we can to help fill our pockets *ahem*, I mean help our customers".

 

I am sorry this happened, but not sure this thread is appropriate for you.

Hello again all -

 

We're finished with invite waves for today. The servers are filling up, player populations are growing, and we're monitoring the influx of players carefully. More servers will be opened up as we need them.

 

We're expecting queues, and at peak times you should be too. That's normal for a large-scale MMO launch, as the initial rush of players hit the servers at the same time. If you don't want to queue to play, it's best to try and login at non-peak hours - or possibly play on a different server. We understand the frustration that queuing can cause, and we're working to minimize, but a certain amount of queuing is to be expected during Early Game Access and launch.

 

Looking forward to tomorrow, I wanted to try and explain the invite 'pattern' you've seen this week. It can be confusing, because we've been inviting a growing number of people on a daily basis, but the timing of people's code redemptions might not seem to match.

 

It goes back to our pre-order redemption numbers. Our graph of redeemed pre-order codes looks like two mountains with a flat plain in-between, basically. There's a massive peak from back in July (when we announced pre-orders) and a smaller, but growing peak at the end (recently). In the middle, there was a long period where the numbers of people redeeming pre-order codes were steady, but lower.

 

Now, we've been inviting large numbers of people every day, with more being invited day-on-day. What that has meant is, because of the pattern of pre-order codes being redeemed, on Day One of Early Game Access, we invited a lot of people who had redeemed over a short span of time (late July). Yesterday and today, we invited a lot of people but over a larger span of time (all the way to early December).

 

The question I know a lot of you have is, why haven't we yet invited those who redeemed very recently? The answer is because of the volume of recent pre-orders that have been redeemed, which is spiking up very high. So, a lot of people have redeemed in a short period of time. Essentially we're in the same place we were on the 13th, where we invited a lot of people, but most had redeemed in the same short period of time.

 

TL;DR - We've seen a LOT of pre-orders redeemed in the last couple of weeks, and that means that even though we're really close (in date terms) to getting everyone in, we couldn't quite do it today.

 

Tomorrow's invite waves start at 8AM CST, and I'll start another thread then to track progress.

its the same price regardless, how is it so many of you don't understand how pre-order fees work. Further more they did not promise you 5 days, they said up to 5 days, that mean if you get in on the 19th.. only 1 day.. they still gave you what they said they would... UP TO 5 DAYS.... when you go to a store for a sale that says UP TO 50% OFF is everything their 50% off????? no its not, few items are but most are 20-30% off... so try understanding these things before you start calling them out saying they promised you this and they ripped you off

 

we ( i, atleast) are not discussing this, REGARDLESS:

 

a 1 a 2 a 1, 2 a 3
