Hey, don't go making broad generalizations about others preferences!!!

I'm from sweden and I don't really care what nationality the people I play with are, as long as we can communicate.

pardon me, but if we are not supposed to discuss MMORPGS on this website, then i really dont know where else to go.

As for "one screw up" Lehman Brothers was also "one screw up"

Obviously I am not comparing the credit crunch crisis to this game

What i am saying is that UK, as far as im concerned got the short end of the stick, with there being limited Pre-order accounts available and UK account holders not being able to register.

I bought Guildwars only because i was able to Pre-order it, i ended up liking the game, but had i not had the option to pre-order it then i would not have bought it or the following expansions.

this may have been a mistake by Aventurine, but then they should rectify it by openining up a few extra account for the UK market specifically, as the UK market was the only market affected, it seems.

the demography of the game needs to be balanced, especially in such a Guild emphasised game

I am not a troll, i have supported this game when others have critisized it, but they have fallen out of favour with me, and im sure many UK players,  I hope this doesnt come and bite them in the arse later, but i think it will.

especially with Mortal Online around the corner, they should focus on getting as big of a market share as possible, before Mortal Online releases.

Your fight is with Aventurine and their code monkeys, although it has already been proven that EU customers were able to pre-order just fine, STOP CLUTTERING UP THESE FINE BOARDS WITH YOUR IGNORANT, INTERNATIONAL PREJUDICE.

As a long standing memeber of MMORPG and the community i get really pissed off when a european company priorities the US market over the European one

I am a man of principles, I dont pay for movies that are realeased in the US prior to being released in EUROPE. I dont pay for music which is released in the US prior to being released in EUROPE and i will not buy games that are released in the US befor Europe.

In the registration process Aventurine requires a Zip code, in europe we have no Zip codes, hence we can not register, and hence we can not proceed with the Pre-orders

I dont know about the rest of Europe but a UK post code does not work as the Zip code needs to be in numbers and no letters.

I have been supportive of Darkfall, this is evident in my previous posts, but I am a european citizen, and if the Germans, Scandinavians,French, English and other european countries are descrimiated against then my good will quickly change and any support the european market may have offered you will quicky evaporate.

shame on you Tasos, you should know your home market better and you should understand that europeans dont like the preferential treatment that the US often enjoys. (not disrespect to our US friends)

Another amusing Troll:

I live in Europe

I pre-ordered amazing how did that happen and the account rgistration whilst slow worked fine, it just takes 6 letters and registers fine.

So in summary total fail as the process works fine for europeans with more than one brain cell. Next please

as long as we are the same religion....

I myself won’t be pre-ordering anyway, and at one time I thought I would be. I have been on the boards since '06, and actually interviewed Tasos for another website. I was really excited, but I think there was some lack of honesty in the screenshots provided along the way. People didnt get the world they thought they were going too. I am not one to say that graphics are everything, hell I played UO for 6 years (my longest run in any MMO).

The other thing that tweaked me happed more recently and is nothing more than me being a Blat-A$$. I checked the forums over a month ago and had access to the beta forums, after some reading I see that anyone that had such access should also have a beta key. Well after a month of trying to talk to the Mods over there about a key and getting no response I gave up on DFO all together.

Its working for me now, but it was not working earlier

i was doing the exact same thing, so i assume aventurine did some changes to the online form.

other people have had this problem so i know its not a "user error" like some pepole seem to stubbornly state

as for this being my first MMORPG, i was playing MMORPGS when the person who made that statment was sucking on a bottle of milk, though back then we had Telnet with no graphics. in a response to that person i would like to say "you must be 14"

i also would like to know what that person has as a foundation for the statetment of this being my first MMORPG.

thanks

As for me, i will boycott this game, its to late to pre-order now, and mistreatment to my fellow europeans is one thing i wont stand for, thats why i only buy products with global released.  If we all adopted this same approch companies would start to realise that the european market wants to be treated equally

thats the beauty of Blizzard games and why they are so populare in europe, (also they are very good)

thats also why games such as Tribes , Auto Assault never really kicked off in Europe, if you come late to the EU market then your may as well throw your money down a drain. we dont take sloppy seconds.

 

So since many other EU's managed to Preorder, it isn't user error because you couldn't. By the time you figured out what you did wrong it was to late. So since you figured it out to late it's Aventurines fault. Now since they wouldn't allow you to pre-order you refuse to pre-order........................... I love posts like this lol.

This post seems to boil down to, "They didn't let me play when I wanted to , so I don't wanna play no more".

These I like as well. It's kind of like when someone gets banned and then throws a fit, ending the rant with "Good! I am glad I got banned, I didn't want to play anyways" this is generally followed by them finding a means of playing anyways lol.

I said I was just blatting, the secondary reason isn’t really a reason. I just settled into the games I do play and put DFO aside. I wish the game well, but I already P2P for 3 games and didn’t need another. There’s no need to carry the anger of the DFO forums over here, my fanboi'ism just died down and got placed into other games. I am glad though that they have a loyal fan base with players like yourself, we all need to find what makes each of us happy.
