GOA has limited the total amount of simultaneous logins to the subscription page to 80 so that we don't bring down the billing system.
Ok, now the resulting bottleneck of people trying to activate their Shroulded Isles CD-key is to be expected when many thousands of users are trying at the same time to access the subscription page - obviously resulting in a prolonged delay for the users to get their moneys worth from actually being able to play SI (maybe several days - we shall see). This cannot possibly come as a surprise to a GOA. But was it really necessary to cause this aggravation to the customers trying to activate?
The obvious solution to a problem like this is one of time! Give the Shrouded Isles players access to the game and let them register their CD-key within the next 2 weeks or be locked out of the game. And don't give me the yiggedi yaggedi about this couldn't be done for technical resons, because I know it can.
Voila! Problem solved.
I know the GOA staff has probably worked their ass of trying to please us - and I appreciate the effort. I just wish they had foreseen this problem and dealt with it accordingly.
