you will also need the CD KEY to login, if you have a physical copy or digital you may have to wait for launch. I ordered from steam, my cd key was available after i bought it.

Common sense says: "Learn from other companies mistakes in the past, offer a grace period so you dont have be flamed for not letting everyone have the same opportunity to log in." Thats what common sense says. But like I said in another post. It really doesn't matter, I could have logged in today and waited in hour long ques or hit a brick wall with bugged story missions, maybe even of crashed a couple of times and have to wait again in a queue.Quote:

Many people will not get their games tomorrow and not be able to play. Of course people will be upset.
The people not getting their games should take that up with the companys they pre-ordered with. Trion made the game, not the disks, they did not fill orders for amazon, gamestop, etc. i doubt they are even able to touch the servers sending out the digital copy of the game. Ok that last one was a long shot, but anything is possible. On the name thing, yeah i can understand people being mad. i have used the same few names in every game i play. Neither of which are rare, so the chances of you getting that common name are slim to none, if you have a rare name you dreamt up one day while playing with your carebears, i doubt highly someone has taken it. Everyone just needs to calm down and act like adults.
I have a question about your post,Quote:

Trion then allows digital download customers to access the servers.
Retailers still can't under any circumstances release the product before the hard release date.
people who bought from retailers scream they got screwed.
But somehow this is the retailers fault.... how exactly are the retailers supposed to fix this? the only thing they could do is give out the product before the release date, but TRION won't let them.
How do you propose screaming at the retailers will fix this problem?
Seems to me that Trion made this problem.
Good point, but i was referring to customers who are having the hard copys shipped to them and will not recieve them today in direct reply to "Many people will not get their games tomorrow and not be able to play. Of course people will be upset."Quote:

Honestly, I was starting to think that nobody was going to catch on...Quote:

To be honest i'd rather not have it, 4+ hour queue times during SWTOR early access turned me off to the whole early access crap, by the time you actually get in and get going you dont get much of a headstart and the box is sitting on your door stepQuote:
