Requiel said:The retailers who are quoting a £19.99 RRP are likely getting confused with the Euro price which is 19.99€. The press release sent through our distributors gives the RRP in Sterling and Euros.
Requiel said:The reason that UK retailers release on a Friday is due to an arrangement between most distributors and the larger retail chains. Sales charts run from Friday to Friday and so if a game is released midweek, it gets 2-3 days on the current chart which can mean the first week sales figures look bad. If it's released on a Friday, there's a full week of sales to be counted and so the game looks more popular. Regardless, we send stock to UK retailers at the same time as continental stores and it will be available to them on the same day. Unfortunately we can't make them put it on shelves if their head office is telling them to release it on a Friday. For those who don't want to risk possibly not being able to play it on Wednesday, you will be able to buy an online licence from Wednesday or you can of course pre-order it from our online partners

Just a thought but couldent you release the game on a friday then so we can all get it at the same time ????
We'll never release a big patch or an expansion on a Friday, it's not likely we'll do it on a Thursday either. We usually use Wednesdays as we have two clear days beforehand to run final checks and preparations and two days afterwards when we have Mythic devs on tap in case things need fixing urgently. If we patched on a Friday and a problem developed shortly afterwards, there'd be little chance of it getting fixed until the following Monday which is not really acceptable.Moggit said:this may have been said before but...................
