Another cancelled pre-order here too....  not just because of the early access fiasco, but more because of the way FunCom is handling it by blaming the retailers.  Who ever heard of a company that will restrict pre-order customers three days before launch?

Certainly doesn't sound good and definitely not a company I want to spend money on.

 

 

They are not "restricting pre-order customers" they had a limited number of early access spots, for whatever reason. You can pre-order and get the pre-order items.

When the pre-order  box from Best Buy CLEARLY states that you get the war rhino AND early access with no mention of a limitation until you read the code card inside that says "some restrictions may apply".... that's restrictive and clearly a scam.

Are you talking about restrictions on the early access or restrictions on pre-ordering? You original post stated "Who ever heard of a company that will restrict pre-order customers three days before launch?"

"Cursed Be Iron."

I accidently got two early access keys from my retailer and I gave one to my friend yesterday to join in Hyboria tomorrow. He had no problems on registering and getting the client with all the early access goodies. Weird that there is some sort of limit for people to enter in EA, or did they just remove it?

As far as the pre-order box from Best Buy is concerned... Pre-ordering and Early Access are one in the same.

 it was said somewhere at the launch that they had set up for 600,000 early access spots and those are sold out. I'll keep trying to find the article I read.

the only thing Ive seen stated is they had tens of thouands for EA

could be 20k or more -- who knows?

 

forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php

We had to set that limit to allow the tens of thousands of registered players to download the client and get access to the game on the 17th of May.

Then take issue with BestBuy.
