      Maybe this should have been released first so people wouldnt be having these problems.

 

(1) Funcom always said "limited"

(2) Fumcom said call your retailer if you do not receive your keys by the end of april

(3) Funcom has no control over stupid retailers who do not tell the customers

(4) Funcom does not teach people how to read (maybe they should have)

Wouldn't matter if they taught people how to read or not....most people are too damn lazy and irresponsible to do it anyway. And THEN they want to blame the company for their failures. Go figure.

Scraca, unfortunately on the preorder page it didn't mention what you posted, or if it did the fine print was fine.

Hell, i was lucky to find the fine print that says mounts won't be useable until level 40. Imagine all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth over that.

Anyway, the way i look at it is this. If i get somehow lucky and get into the pre play period, i will be happy but laggy and perhaps kinda crashy.

If i don't, then others will get to do the above and i will snicker a bit

OK, Funcom is a Big company, Best Buy, Gamestop etc have been selling this pre-order stuff for a long time. Are you telling me no one at Funcom ever read ANY of these ads for THIER product and didn't notice they were telling people they would "get" the 3 days early access if they pre-ordered?.......Please, do you call Pizza Hut or Domino's to make sure the coupon in the paper is correct? many times i have seen Typo's etc. I am not choosing sides here, just stating the facts.

or it teaches people how to NOT market a product. I looked at the websites and no where did i get the impression that after i bought and paid for a preorder, i would not get the chance to participate. In fact, it reads more like that i would get the chance IF i got a preorder CE, which meant if i got the CE i would get into early access. If i didn't get the CE, i would not be eligible for early access. Thats the way i read it, and i have no problems reading. Just goes to show that sometimes wording can be taken incorrectly, and marketing needs to define such items better.

 

i really love how sometimes fanbois are will to overlook ANYTHING bad, and devs cannot ever do wrong.

Sorry but funcom has no control over how little your IQ is. You actually thought all that? I think I read about half of the information and already knew. How can you possibly blame foncom because you failed to understand the basic english language?  They did nothing wrong, unless you count not putting it in giant red bold letters on their main site saying it.

As for the fanboy comment, well, you're just a tool. I'd much rather be a "fanboy" then someone who can't admit their own mistakes, and then have to blame someone else for them.

  first of all, it is up to the retailers to say these things, Gogamer, where i ordered from did not say limited. But i read it on Funcoms site where they also sta
