Amazon Pre-Orders: No Release Date Delivery Option

[CT]

Sorry buddy, we kinda hijacked the thread. Now it's about Amazon pre-orders. Don't worry, I know what server we're going to. We'll talk about that on Sunday

Based on a post here, it sounds like not all the servers will be 'available' at 7am on the 13th. So if we choose the last east coast rppvp server in the list at 7am, that might not be the same 'last on the list' server at the end of the day....

Q:
would still like a confirmation if youll be opening fresh servers throughout the early access period. Im sure you are but itll put some of us at ease

SR Answer:

We'll be gradually opening servers throughout Early Game Access, although by the end of December 13th we'll have quite a lot.

Anyone gonna address this?

Ithink from the posts I've seen they are going to have an initial list they will release before early access. I think we'll use that list to,pick.

I asked Stephen Reid if early access would at least have one RP-PvP server open. I have been at work and was not able to check for a response.

If you are not there at 7 a.m., check our forums and your email before logging in! We'll post the server as soon as we select it.

Just wondering what the reasoning for picking a east coast server was? Just curious.

Majority on east coast maybe. *Shrugs*

[Tbone]

There was a poll done of all the RP-PvP guilds and a majority chose East Coast.

Apparently a dev did state in an email to Jaro (why they just can't post this I don't know) that one of each server type will be available at day 1 Early Access, meaning we won't have to wait on an RP-PvP server. There was also an interview at MMORPG today that states they are considering releasing at least a partial server list before early access.

Right now I'm more concerned with the fact that Amazon has fucked up my CE pre-order and can't offer release day shipping. With EA/Bioware taking away the grace period, even throwing an extra $10 at the problem has me waiting two and a half days before I can play after early access.

Shouldn't you be able to play regardless, having an active subscription and all that?

[Tbone]

Bioware is not having a grace period. You will be required to enter a valid CD key to continue playing on the 20th. Without a physical copy of the game (since I'm getting CE), I will not have that CD key and therefore will not be able to continue.

Right now rumors are flying all over the place about Amazon, though. The most recent is that they are going to email you your CD key when your product ships. I've also heard that they will allow release date delivery after the 12th when they actually get the product. All of that is very inconsistent information, however.

shite - same problem for me; slightly worse as my physical product will be delivered to my home in England; when of course I am in France. Crikey.,

[Aculeus]

I'm in the same boat Tbone.

PROTIP: If you ordered through Amazon, be sure to check your order and make sure you select "Release Date Delivery" for the shipping speed.

I had mine set for standard delivery, which means I wouldn't have received the game until after the 25th.

[Revalis]

Hrmm.. I don't even have 'Release Date Delivery' as an option under shipping speed. I thought that was an automatic thing with Amazon... :/  It's estimating Dec 27 - 29 before delivery.

THANK YOU.

You're ok, man. A-OK.

[Aculeus]

I also don't have release date delivery as an option.
