Why?

 

 

Why not keep sending Emails out?

 

Why didn't you just tell us when we would get by email not the you "might"?

 

Why am I posting this?

 

Why are people upset?

 

Why are people hating?

 

Why are people bragging that they got in?

 

"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that "horrible person" thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."

Invites stopped this early in the day? Well I've gone ahead and cancelled my preorder. They had the time to stress test in beta, I have little interest in logging in and having half the server already max level and already wearing raid gear.

 

I lol'ed. What a petty reason to cancel. If your enjoyment is crushed that easily, you must not have really cared about the game to begin with. :rolleyes:

this isn't a troll, and isn't exactly qq although there is some of that involved.

 

I just want to put it down for the record that the way this early access program has been implemented is truly one of the most poorly conceived ideas that i've ever personally encountered in over 25 years of playing video games. I've personally participated in launches of 6 other mmo games, and there is nothing in those experiences that compares to how ridiculous this process is.

 

When you are dealing with a pre-launch even that is only for pre-order customers, after an extensive and massive beta testing period that was a huge success according to nearly all sources involved - it begs the huge question as to what is the limiting factor in the way you have chosen to roll out this game. I personally participated in the beta in a very limited way (not by choice, mind you, i just wasn't lucky enough to get a key) and was only online during the big thanksgiving weekend test. That test was wonderful - there were a huge number of servers, and a huge population of testers. The game performance was amazing.

 

So, ea/bw - what exactly are you afraid of?

 

The only way this should have been done is to have given all pre-orders (perhaps separated only by level of game purchased - i.e. Ce customers get 7 days, se get 5, e.g.) access at exactly the same time. Of course it will overload the servers and queues would ensue and all that - but that's what we all expect. Making your customers wait unknowingly with no idea how long it will be or when to expect an email is just adding insult to injury. A poor alternative would have been to send out emails with a set time and day that your access would be available.

 

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.

 

At any rate, i love this game. I love bw. But i truly despise and am sickened by the way you chose to put your customers through so much stress for absolutely no good or justifiable reason.

 

I truly hope you improve, because this is a very very poor way to start out.

 

indeed .

Bah, stop your moaning. Form an orderly line and queue for all you're worth! Us British folks understand a good queue. Hell, we join random ones just for fun, without even knowing what we're queuing for!

 

PATIENCE !! Key word that... my 2 year old understands what it means so I presume everyone else here can grasp the concept.

 

Release date is 20th December correct? So why are so many people crying about EGA? It's still 2 more days until Bioware promised to even begin invites. So what if you are not invited even though you pre-ordred in July & someone who ordered 2 weeks ago got in?

 

No matter what happens, you will get into the game before launch day (even if it's only a day early) and you'll all get your nice pre-order trinkets depending on which edition you bought. So chill out one and all!

 

It's nearly christmas!! Start spreading some love and cheer!! (no... not that kind of love sicko....)

 

Yeah this post made me laugh! I have heard that before about British folk being pros at queuing. Can't remember where I heard it though. Thanks for the chuckle and smile while I wait. ;)

Yes, release was the 15 for early game... I agree its awesome you decided to move it up 2 days... but now instead of being nice your screwing with peoples lives, jobs, families, that they are trying to plan for when they can start playing, its near the holidays, people are trying to properly plan and all your doing is screwing with them... seriously. if you want any chance to be succesful or any chance to beat wow... stop thinking small minded, and playing games with ur customers... or you will die just like AION in a few years I PROMISE YOU!

First. what does not getting in on the 13th have anything to do with taking the 15th off work? And second, planning your life around a video game = fail.

 

Indeedy Kolvan!! Errr... EpyonNaku.... "screwing with peoples lives, jobs, families?" Get a life. Perhaps you should spend more time with your family rather than flaming on this thread you bloody moron.
