Hows it a loss for AV? If sales arent available then demand has exceeded supply (server capacity)

Because it's not like server capacity has been an issue at every MMO launch ever or anything...

There's been nothing suggesting that people who don't own DF won't be able to buy it. It would be money out the window not letting people purchase.

It's already 'money out of the window' with how their vison of DFUW is.. open world with full loot pvp, lost lots of players right there.

They pretty much keep to themselves and most likely they'll hold off with sales till theyve seen how many vets that have returned - which may take a few weeks.

So much speculation in this thread from 2 random  people who have no idea what they're saying :s

We KNOW DF:UW will be free to those who have purchased 1.0, all they will have to pay is a sub fee.

We KNOW DF:UW will be available on the 20th November. We don't know if that means prelaunch downloading, launch itself, if the game is purchasable then.

The ONLY PRICE we've seen is from the fan kit where the box set states a RRP of £30.

Just wanted to add that.

Nah your wrong again there bully cause he's definitely talking about you as well.  Bottomline is this I know that I will be able to play on the 20th because I already own the game.  YOU DO NOT know when you will be able to actually purchase the game.  They have not made a statement on selling the game to new players at all.  Whether its the 20th or after we just don't know. Yes it is my opinion that AV will not be making the game purchasable to newcomers before the 20th.  But as a long time player and supporter of AV it is an INFORMED opinion.   I'm telling you if you don't own the game you won't be playing on the 20th take it as you will, don't believe me if you want, just don't throw a hissy fit on the 20th when you can't play the game.

Yes of course it is - to the limited crowd of players who are into that. But my example is just that AV are doing things in their own special way, and their greatest concern is to have a stabile control of incoming players among the 2 servers they have. And if they chose to do so, then it means they have more than enough money to care about asap money grabs - kinda like quality over quantity, just in a twisted way since it's AV we're talking about.

But those features are not 'limiting' their crowd. If they changed those, the remaining playerbase would leave. Why would you play this in the first place if not for the pvp? Your argument is that they are not making a WoW clone, so they are limiting themselves. But the game is nothing like WoW, and wouldn't be if they changed loot and pvp. It would just be terrible.
