Originally posted by marcust I really don't think that will be happening. It may happen in a week, or maybe longer. They have several issues that need to be addressed before the current wave of players can play. Then, they will get to you. |

Don't you realize that if they open shop now the are REALLY opening up an even bigger can of crap for themselves? They are having trouble right now in there limited release , closed beta whatever you want to call it. They can't just open up show now, THEY EVEN GET THAT, and I've come to realize they don't get much. Sorry dude, I know it sucks but from the sounds of it your not missing out on much anyway right now AND I'm willing to bet it will be about 1-3 weeks before they open up the store...if they are smart they will wait. Played: Shadowbane, UO, PlanetSide, SWG, EQ 2, City of Heros, AO, AoC, Daoc, WOW, lotro, Eve, GW, Tabula, Pirates of the burning sea (yup), Vanguard, Warhammer, Lineage 2 Out of all those I loved Shadow Bane, SWG (it had its issues but those first few months were great) and AO after about 5 months I was in love) RIP..not since then have I loved a MMO... |

Way I see it, we should be happy that we are not paying to play at this point. Let the dust settle. Then go in and enjoy the game MMORPG Characters immortalized! |

They haven't even fixed the perorders yet so don't hold your breath about more subs opening. |

That is a REALY bad idea.. Imagine the chaos that would rule these boards if they decided to open the floodgates yesterday? Can you imagine how long it would of taken them to process the account payments by hand if their had been 50k or even 100k rather then the 10k they could barely handle? It's pretty obvious they are having a real hard time handling the small amount of customers they have at this time, and it would be professional suicide to let another round of customers in. I wouldn't expect them to open up "the shop" for at least a few weeks, or at least untl they get all the current billing errors, and server problems that they're dealing with right now. |

You know if they opened the shop now and took all the orders they could but put a flag on each account based on when they ordered, and they could control how many people are ingame. They dont have to bill people for the monthly subscription part of the cost until they actually have the flag turned off. I.e. you order but that just puts you in the queue to play when theres room. At least then they would have some idea how many people want to play DF, at the moment they have no idea, and if they had 100k forward orders they could take that information to their financiers and get some additional servers ordered. At the moment they have no idea what the numbers are and this pain will drag out for weeks as we have rush after rush.

a few weeks? lawl. They were going to open the store up this morning, but they realized that there was a sync issue. Have you even been reading? They couldn't fix the sync issue, but fixed the human issue, then they stated in latest update they finally knew what was wrong with the sync issue and were in the process of fixing it. In the first post they stated they were launching the store, after they fixed the sync issue. And they are almost done with the sync issue. |

The "failed launch" speaks quite to the contrary... |

But the fact that the release is limited is adding to the fire. If it was not limited, many people wouldn't even bother to try to order this game in its current state. But it is limited! This is the real PvP, who will win the crap. |

Please, if you have anymore completely horrid ideas keep them to yourself. That is a fucking stupid idea if I have ever heard one at this point. Currently, the server can not handle the players who originally ordered. Throwing a shit load of more people on the server right now will completely ruin the future of this game. STFU carebear, should have got your pre-order sooner. QQ less. |

They need to ensure the severs are stable first, which will probrably take another 24 hours. And on top of that, some people are still having difficulties with their pre-orders, so I can't see how they will have time to manage further fresh accounts at this point. I'm sure it was their intial intention to open up more spots before the start of the weekend (makes good business sense), but Im not gonna hold my breath. |

what blows me away is how many ppl are waiting for the servers to come up and play (the ones with successfull preorders). ....especially in its condition. i mean..i dont think i would really be excited to take the day off, get on the server and start hacking away at invisible mobs and getting hit by who knows. i mean these are the ppl who think SB, AoC, War, or VG sucks even though these games are somewhat actually playable now. im sure its most likely they are over excited cause its a new game and they wanna have the edge in the game as soon as possible. especially the guilds. would they still favor a wipe on the server after the exploits are fixed? who knows. being in a guild sometimes i witness how happy guild members are when we find an exploit and we use it to our benefit. its almost like gleeful cheering (snicker snicker) wow lets not tell anyone. actually this is my first post about this whole DF thing and this was one of my biggest curiosities... |
