Its genius.  It reminds me of car dealerships that advertise cars for $500.  They have one car for $500 that may not run.  Meanwhile, there's 100 people inquiring about that car.

F2P works pretty well also.

What "up to 5 days" marketing you talking about please?

You mean that tricky sales ploy where they say one thing and then actually end up giving you *more* than you expected? A good chunk of people who didn't lolligag like me and actually ordered a few months ago are getting 6 or 7 extra days. 

You're a really sly one, Bioware!!!

LOL, yeah....no shit. They told me "up to five days" and then went and gave me seven.

What a rip off.

So, when the vast majority of pre-orders (i.e. everyone that got in before today) got 5-7 days, that was a bad thing?

I preordered in December and still got 5 days even though they only said up to 5 days....problem?

99% of people got 5 days

The other 1% got 4

I fail to see the big deal, and I was the cutoff point for that 1%.  I preordered an hour too late it seems.

Look at it this way, now you can say you're in the 1%. Right?

bahahaha that was the best line of the day.  Don't worry, everyone will be 50 before you play anyways, I mean, people are already hitting 50, so it's all good.

Your game might last for 2 months then rather than one month.  Anyways though, I hope you enjoy it and stick with it for a long time, I hate to see any game go down the tube, though that is the trend recently.
