Apparently funcom made a little oops... they still had their webpage up from april 16th stating that All preorders would get early access.  After posts in the official forums they quickly pulled the page down. But not before it was copied, pasted and distributed.

What a lieing piece of crap company.

Go ahead fanbois... play the verbage game now.

Meh Funcom got their money so they're happy. Besides the fanbois don't really care as long as Funcom doesn't screw up the game directly.

Funcom has always stated that the pre-order does not include early access and you would have to fork over $5 to get into the Early Access.  They have also always stated that spaces are limited.  

Problem is that a lot of players don't like to read and/or have a severe reading comprehension problem that they can't understand what is posted.

Then why state "ALL" preorders would get early access?

So you think all the money from pre-orders goes to FC? Now they can pack up their bags and just leave things as they are? So all the money made to date went straight to FC. The suppliers n shippers, employees,artists n all just donated their time? Perhaps they banks/financial institutions just gave them money outta the goodness of their heart too? The game stores just sold the game for pure enjoyment? The servers for the game were just donated?

Saying anygame got their wee bit of money is about the dumbes friggen comment that can be made. If you know jack about business you would know it takes alot more than a few thousand dollars to pay off a multi-million dollar project.

Dumbest*? Anyways, you make it sound like Funcom got $0. $0. $0 from ALL those pre-orders and the $5 bucks from early access. If that's true, then MMOs take more money than I thought !

Taken from the site they so quickly pulled.  Funcom = Busted

and today Funcom ups the ante and confirms that everyone who pre-orders may access Hyboria several days prior to the retail launch.*

* The early access program is only available with certain retailers. A participant list can be found on the official Age of Conan websites. The early access is entirely voluntary, and opens up on the 17th of May for Oceanic and North American gamers, and on the 20th of May for European gamers. Pre-loading of the client will commence in advance. You need to pay a nominal 5 USD / EUR fee to take advantage of the offer, which includes client download and 10 days of subscription. When the early access offer expires you must enter the physical retail box gamekey to continue playing.

Don't see chance, limited etc etc in that statement..

Creative marketing, lies and failed comitments.
