What kind of BS is this ... I pre-ordered and got my pretty little card. I carefully read the fine print. It informed me that it entitled me to some mount (yay...) and early access (the reason I bought it). Now, the day it is supposed to go live, I am informed that I can not download nor play the game? I'm pissed off beyond belief. So is everyone on every forum everywhere. Too many years in development. Too many bugs in late beta. And now this? I'm giving my pre-order back. This game will flop. I'm sorry to say that because I was very optimistic and excited for it. I tried to be positive when everyone else was tearing it apart. This was the last straw. ~ Desperate for another new game ------ |

If you didn't register for Early Access before today and/or before the cutoff for Early Access applications, you only have yourself to blame. |

Nowhere on the card does it stipulate that there are limited supplies. The early access program was the reason I pre-ordered.
The EA actually got shut down on the 14th as per the following article: http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/05/age-of-conans-e.html
It's just a matter of time before this game takes it's place in line after Vanguard for the biggest budget flops in the history of gaming. ------ |

Originally posted by XImpalerX Why would there be a cutoff date? If you purchase a preorder, you should be able to play whenever you want, once they start the early access. If thats the case, slap me silly, but that sounds like a scam to me. Anyways, too many people complaining right now for me to even consider buying it. Funcom obviously didn't learn their lesson from their AO launch and now have another bad game launch repetoire on their hands. Bravo! P.S. Heres what Funcom's Customer Service Reps are currently doing...

Originally posted by _Jord_ Dummy, even if you did get early access to the game, after registering for it today, you still would not be playing until probably Monday night or Tuesday morning. You'd have to download the game and update it. Please us some common sense. You're the only one to blame. Talk about waiting until the last minute to register . . . |

Hell, I'm not even all that smart and I figured out how to get in. I'm in game right now (dual monitors - Yay!) and having a blast. It's not rocket science. There is no better MMO out right now, and I can say that with absolute certainty. Back to the game!

Originally posted by _Jord_ They didn't anticipate the spike of early access subscribers. It was in a post on their forums from the Community Manager. It's closed now because there's no server space left and they're currently allocating more servers for release.
If you're pissed because the game is being successful even before launch, you're pretty retarded. You should have signed up for Early Access THE DAY you got your card. |

I am not going to mock the op like some of the people replying. My card said that I have the option to participate in early access program but restrictions apply and to see the websiite, the url was provided on the card, for full information about those restrictions. When I followed the instructions and went to the sight it informed me that there were a limited number of slots available and that I had to register by the 14th. I did all of this and am now playing the game. Well not right this second, but you get my drift. The way I interepreted the card was that I have the option of registering and I may or may not be able to do this depending on how long I procrastinated to sighn up, but I read alot into things. |

From the look of this post im guessing that this is not the first time that you have been a victim of your own procrastination, once again to all those who did not get it EA was meant so that you buy the product go home a register is not sit on it and try and get in on the START of EA and then rant because you were too late, grow up.

I love how up in arms you guys get when someone has an issue with the pre-order. Yeah OK, technically, it did say that EA was limited in some of the released information, if you did what you should have done and reserched it. Yet I still haven't heard one question answered in any of these threads where someone pre-orders and doesn't get access... Why is the EA limited in the first place? I mean really, if FC has the servers in place (which with the release a few days away, they'd better be ready to go), what would be the point in making it a limited early access to begin with? It'd be like taking your kids to McDonalds and ordering a Happy Meal for your kids, and knowing that the only reason why kids want a happy meal, and the only reason why you wind up paying a bit more for said happy meal, is to get that little crappy toy inside.... and then finding out you didn't get the toy this time. You kids are crying, throwing food everywhere, making a scene... and all you can think is, "It's a happy meal, it's supposed to have a cheap toy inside. I was promised a cheap toy. How hard is it to put a toy in a cardboard box??" Horrid Analogy, I know. My point being this: There shouldn't be a loophole like fine print saying "limited EA". Period. Even the fanbois should know this, unless you got access, in which case you probably don't care about who doesn't get access. Now don't get me wrong, I do hope this game goes off. It looks to have promise, and I'd like to be able to give it a go someday. I just hear too many complaints about beta issues yet to be resolved, loading screens, and now with pre-order issues, I just think back to games in the past with launch issues... and I think i'll just watch from a distance until after release, maybe everything will smooth out after launch.
