Dear Players,

We would like to thank you for the support and understanding that all of you have toward Earthrise. You are the pioneers of Enterra who we consider to be the biggest supporters of our vision and the values that stand behind the game. In regard to this and as a token of gratitude we would like to inform you that everyone who has activated their game key until Friday February 11th will receive additional free game time compensation for the month of March, which we will announce next week.

Thank you one more time for the support, we are doing our best to fix all issues that affect your gameplay.
 

That says a lot about the company. Kudos.

Wow, the launch must be even worse that I thought...

Heh, Final Fantasy XIV all over again.

it's not a sign of bad launch. it's just the FFXIV trend. one free month seems to not be enough to catch enough fish in the net so mmo's give more time for free.

not saying no to free gametime.

You do realize that the game you are saying started this trend had a horrible launch, many in that games management were fired and the CEO of the parent company made a public statement that they are sorry for the condition of the game and working hard to get it to a playable state.

If you are saying that the trend for horrible games is to offer free time then yes, I agree with you.

It may be a horrible game, but it's a horrible game with 2 free months. So at least they are trying to make up for it. Does it? Of course not. Will it help to retain a few more subs? Perhaps if they make some much needed changes during that free month. Basically it's a nice gesture, but it's not going to make up for a broken game.

If you read it it does NOT say you will get a FREE MONTH. It does say that you will get some free gametime. Not a free MONTH of game time.

I'm starting to lose my faith in this company. They're being utterly unrealistic.

Do they honestly think that there is ANYTHING they can do to make the ravenous hordes shut up? Maybe go bankrupt. I bet that's the way that will have us free from anti-ER whining after about 6 months or so, after the victory yells subside.

Honestly, what do they expect...

game isnt horrble its fun when its working. just has issues heh

There will ALWAYS be people that complain. No matter how good or bad the game is people are going to complain. i myself play ER and I enjoy it. *shrug* Me personally I could care less if other people like or dislike, bash or trash the game. Cause at the end of the day its not what someone else says or thinks about a game that matters, its if I enjoy the game or not.

I know WoW gave away lots of free time after launch because of the server issues. LotrO (EU) did aswell and Im sure there are many more.

So its not like FF14 was the first, but probably the frist to do it for several months.

This is definitely a step in the right direction :)

I couldn't get in on launch day due to my key codes not working, I sent a mail and they replied quickly and I sent off my old codes and went to bed. The next morning I had my new codes and was playing, fps are 30 - 80 and my ping is about 400 ms. The game has a few issues but nothing that is game breaking, the people with massive lag issues I suspect have connection/network trouble and/or old GPU drivers or just GPU over heating (sort out the drivers).

That's just my opinion though, however in the end haters are just gonna hate.

Maybe MMO's should just not have forums at all. Internet anonimity always brings out the worst in people, and generally the worst people are the most vocal.

Some ppl will complain about anything... How is giving away free time untill march, which is when stuff you bitch about is all going to be fixed, possibly a bad thing?

It's not THAT bad.  I would compare it to being a tad better than the SWG launch.  It will get fixed, just like WoW's issues, SWG's issues, etc.  Pretty good considering those are triple A games and ER is from an indy company.

the 'indy' excuse no longer works...if anything now people are hesitant to buy indy.

just saying.

 The pharisee bitched about Jesus, the Americans bitch about the French and nearly all computer users I've spoken to bitch about Microsoft.

It's just a fact of life that the world is filled with ungrateful bitchers that along with total anonymity throught the internet feel they can hit back at those people that tried to do them a favour.

Don't you just love MMORPG forums?
