guess that shows how much mark and folks care about their customers.

 

oh well, not like EA has a bad rep like SOE or anything, or that this is helping increase that bad rep.

 

oh wait.
 

 

It's absolute gold that there's no official forums.

A small percentage of players actually ever needs them, but they can build a lot of negative publicity.

For everyone saying blame retailers or you should have gotten overnight shipping, what about those of us who don't have access to a retailer and HAVE to wait for mail?

I just got my box a few hours ago.

I was told I would have a grace period.

I beleived I would have no break in play time.

For the 5th time, for the life of me I can't understand why people can't get off their lazy butt and go to the store and buy a video game. Warhammer release was time sensitive, so why would you order something like that online .

This topic should have its own forum, and the list should go something like this :

Age of  Conan

Anarchy Online

ArchLord

Asheron's Call

Next game

Next game

I got screwed by an online  web site

Don't even THINK about using the  excuse " I'm too busy". I travel as much as I'm home and I still find the time to go to a local gamestop and put $5 down and then pick the games up when released.

I don't really see the problem.  I just ordered from EA store and got a key.  Its not like I needed a new DL or something.  Already had the game etc.  Took me 5 minutes to be right.

 

I mean sure its kind of stupid for the whole buying a box thing.  Some clumsy overlap.  Might as well have given people 5 days or something. 

 

But in the end getting a CD key is easy.

"In EVE, no one gives a damn about a fair fight." - chafin

Hmm.... on release day my local Best Buy gave me a call, said my pre-order was available, I went to the store and picked up my two copies, was playing 2 hours later.  What's the problem?

Oh yes, having it shipped to you instead.  Way too risky a method of delivery for me.

For myself, I live in a small town with no local GameStop. The only local place to buy a new game would be Wal-Mart which received the SE but not the CE. This is why I preordered from a website.
