@Bramen

@Bramen

@LEeHamM

@(Unverified) It's no good! I can't maneuver!

@Lucidus


Well in theory knowing how mmo games like to undercut launch games with big annoucements..... We should hear about "sign ups" for a beta with no date on tuesday....

Well maybe the folks at GW2 aren't douchebags, here's hoping

@Lucidus

I've actually been wondering the same thing. They say its on schedule for 2011, but its already the 12th.

Either way, Im still anticipating this game like no other. Only one that comes close is Path of Exile.

@Faction 3

NOTE: When I say "this game", I mean GW2, not SW:TOR...

@Infestimus According to Stephen Reid, they are well aware of peoples issues with no grace period. and are looking into their options. They are also talking with every retailer making sure they ship online orders and such before the 20th.

@Infestimus - Not really. MMO's in the past never had early access nor grace periods. BW is trying their best to get retailers to ship early but I'm one of the few to smartly plan my purchase through Amazon because I have a Prime Account that guarantees same day release delivery.

@Felnor I did the same!

@Grumms - Very good!

@Felnor I think if you lived in a "red zone" country who are denied quick shipping and digital download options you're opinion might be a bit different. They have no recourse to be "smart" about their order.

As to your point about no grace periods, I'm not sure how far back you are referring but it has been pretty commonplace the last few years.

I will have my copy on time as well.

But to disregard this as an issue when it will be effecting a large contingent of their first month playerbase is wrong IMO. Especially when they will be locking the people out of the forums, many of whom may not even know about the lockout on launch day.

@Infestimus

Isn't that the whole point of the "red zone" designation?

@(Unverified) somebody is gonna need a new F-5 key by noon on tuesday....

Just kidding , good luck !
