Yeah I am hard to comprehend sometimes that is a given. I vote for no bugs yet I find it hard to believe that will be the case. I do have faith however.

Well, the 3-days before launch is a perfect way of the final beta test - test the servers with a lot of strain. Of course, your usual bugs and glitches should be ironed out, but this is all about server abends and stuff like that

Sooo.. technically, your 3 days before is still beta. I expect the accounts to be scrubbed when the game is officially released (not the pre-order).... but I'm not sure - it could be that the 3 days extra is an advantage bonus, but if thats the case and we are still promised acccess to beta - then we must be able to access the game before those 3 days.

I pre-ordered from gamestop 2 months ago, I called them to ask if they are getting the bonus bundles and they said yes. He said ballpark time frame is 2- 3 weeks.

I preordered from EBgames about a week ago, and they still have no idea whats going on with the pre-order bonuses. They said that they will call or email all their preorderers and let them know when the preorder bonuses are available. If anyone has anymore information about this, let me know.
Thanks.

They are probably going to do what World of Warcraft is right now. Things like it you subscribe for the $15 for three months of gamespy then you automatically get into the beta. With MxO I guess they'll just have you pre order to get in instead of doing things like subscribing to gaming website. Does anyone know how long MMOs normally stress test their servers? A week? A month? Several months?
