Funcom is now moderating complaint threads out of the forums. Had two of mine magically dissapear after I was warned by a mod to stop complaining about the Early Access Key.  And no I did not use abusive language/profanity etc.  All I can say is that I hope this bites them in the rear.

I ended up voting with my wallet and am not going to be playing the game. Beta and company garbage was enough for me.

Btw... there is a very clear reason why they limited the early access. They are not ready server wise for the large group of folks coming. If they were ready they would not have thrown away all the customers they just lost and the damage done to the retail end. who in thier right mind would self sabotage themselves like this?

Hope you get banned. Forums are used for constructional talk and this EA stuff has been spread across about 100 different threads. You wont need to create another to feel special.

All men fear the Darkness,
But the Darkness fears me.

Fer cryin out loud this has already been addressed repeatedly around here.  Funcom said early access was limited and no, pre-ordering did not guarantee you early access.  Learn to read before opening your mouth.  As far as Funcom deleting your posts, if they were as innaccurate and worthless as this one then Go Funcom!

Im sorry that you didnt do your research into AoC. If you did you would of known for quite some time now that the 3 day headstart was a limited thing on a first come first serve basis.

If eveyone could of ordered then you could potentially be looking at a million pre orders. A line had to be drawn somewhere. Its also been stated by them for some time too that they have the capacity/ infrastructure  for around 600k people on the servers for launch to be on the safe side.

The clear reason is your pissed because you weren't informed enough. Thats sucks I know, but its not the companies fault. They advertised this on the official forums, on websites from press releases and in their financial report.

Anyone purchasing a pre order for early access should of never been under the assumption it was guaranteed. Because it wasn't.

The there is not point trying to pass the buck, the responsibility falls directly on you the consumer to know what your getting in too.

Here is an example. You travel by public transport, You purchase a season ticket for rail / bus whatever. When the transport comes and is full and there is no room for you to get on, your pissed but understand, there is physically no room for you. Your ticket, prior purchased means you dont have to pay, but the ride is never guarenteed.

 


RIP Laura - We shall not forget you.

And complaints are not constructional? Ahhh... Must be a fanboi. When you have been in beta as long as I have you see alot of stuff. No loyalty in this company... its all about money... Wait... Youll see

Complaints are only constructive when they are accurate and preferrably accompanied by some suggestion to correct the comlpaint.

Actually I was informed ( closed Beta ). There were issues with the registration process through that time period and no responces from funcom. alot of us had preordered along time ago and were waiting till things sorted with the keys. There are a ton of posts in the forums with key issues prior to this going down.

Complaints that have been discussed and resolved in a single thread. Why start another, on another site, at another time? Just to be the special little boy that "followed the herd"? No company in the world has loyalty, all they have is what they say and what they produce. Funcom has stated everything they offered thoroughly and have delivered on it all so far. Either read the fine-print or stfu. I'm a fanboy because I like the Conan stories and such and I find the gameplay more entertaining than WoW has produced in 3 years. Call it me a fanboy, call me someone who is interested in the game. I know what to expect because once a week I read a few blogs and the website. Sorry if you did not expect this after being in the BETA so long that you were blinded by hate.

  I can bite into the "accurate" thing...but the suggestion thing much less so.  I mean, apply this logical to programming complaints.  Do you REALLY want players unfamiliar with code to be offering programming suggestions to trained professionals?  I rather not even HEAR their blather.  I barely can stand my own.

  So, we are gonna remove that part of, what is otherwise, a very good point.

  Complaints are only constructive when they are accurate.  I would add "and provide solid wording and open discussion in lieu of flaming" as well.
