Err getting the pre-order pack doesn't mean you'll be starting to play any time soon. You still have to wait for open beta and that's probably months away yet.It's typical that they're getting sent out just before I move house and won't have t'internet for a couple of weeks. Would be really nice to give it a blast beforehand though, if not only to have a quick fix.

Ah you sure about that? They specifically show an image of the pre-order DVD case (which has the codes insert inside) on the product page. I'm sure I read that other online retailers have sent out the same DVD case, particularly from EU countries.It would still say pre-order on the play.com website as it's just an email that they're sending out.

spoke to them today its scheduled for the 31st may.
Whats scheduled?
Beta?
The keys being sent out?
Pressing the send/receive button isn't that difficult not like it can't be done on Saturday!Upon more thought, this seems like a real big blag to me.
Sending out keys on a Saturday? Pull the other one!
We'll see tomorrow I guess but really..
I gave them a ring and they said they are in the process of being sent out.
Unlike most buisnesses an MMO's most active time is weekends and vacations.
This is when players have time to play and thus this is when the staff will be busiest.
My guess is that MMO companies have started to learn this and employ their staff with this in mind (or I hope so).
Besides, setting upp a script that sends out mails 3, 4 days or even 100 years from now is not really hard, in all probability they have been working on who is to get in and the actual sendout is done automatically in a mass mailing at a specific date and time.
