Servers will be sooo zerged now Do they have multiple instances for each zone or is it 500 players on a single zone?

 

[LordjOX]

As far as I know, every zone can be an instance if there is need for it.

Different instances per zone

For those who want early access try again now - I just got in 2 mins ago. I think Funcom were getting fed up with near 30 pages of whine on the main board. plus there was the legal issue of advertising something that was not an option but limited.

ok so im a lil confused the code let me make an account and it says account open blah blah but if i click purchase early access it says

No upgrades available
This subscription is already upgraded to the maximum

does that mean ill be able 2 get in early access or what lol

edit: thinking this means i can't do early access as there isn't anything in my payment history saying pending and shit ill just have to spam it until they start letting ppl in again or summit lol

Think most of us have that, but the payment is pending not accepted etc.


/edit Looked again my payment is approved. And I started around 15:00ish with this procedure so I think it is safe to say they have taken away the limit of the EA.

Nope when i put my code in i got the bow (from amazon so not a mount) but nothing about the early access, there was a button to upgrade to early access but it said my account was already to the max available and there is nothing in my history about paying for the early access.

Oh and in the last hour or so the early access button has gone so its finished as far as im aware

This is a bit of a piss take, I couldnt sign up for my early access yesterday because I left my wallet in work, now I get home from work and part of the supposed "pre-order" bonus is a no no.

 

[Downanael]

I keep wondering one thing,why didin't you people sign up when you got the key but decided to wait around? You surely must have known they wont keep it open forever.

I got my key 13th and had no probs whatsoever to get in since i didin't wait around.

Well, see my last post, considering the 13th was yesterday. One day to sign up isn't that long and if I was aware this was a limited offer i would have borrowed a family members card last night. I didnt "wait around". They didnt say on their sales pitch that the early access was for the first x amount of people to sign up as far as I am aware (not on play.com).

I have emailed their customer support to see if there is anything they can do about it.

Can anyone explain to me why Early Access can sell out?

I mean presumably they have a bunch of servers waiting for the main release?

This suggests to me that the Early access mob will all be stuck on a couple of servers so the idea of getting ahead of the normal folk is probably nonsense since the main retail servers wont come up until the retail release

I was thinking the same thing, they should have the servers there to cover the copies of the games sold, I presumed it would be early access to al the servers that would be available on the official "live date" (23rd?)

Because that will create some very fine PR a couple of days before launch. Priceless IMO.
