why the servers should open!

[ItISLupus]

Brick and mortar stores cannot legally break street date. So no there will be no head start for defiance

First of all, you DON'T own the game. You 'own' a key that allows you access to the game WHEN the servers are up. That's the tricky thing about online games. Having the disc doesn't mean you can play the game.

lets hope the UK servers dont open till 5am or somthing stupid so us guys who have to goto the store get chance to get on early too!

You get pre-purchase bonuses which give you an edge at the start of the game, versus other people who didn't pre-purchase. Isn't that good enough?

The answer has nothing to do with "fairness" or anything like that.

It's business---the company has planned to start up the servers at 12:01A EDT on the 2nd. I'm sure that they've arranged extra staff for that night to ensure that the start up goes smoothly.

Are you suggesting that they should change all of their staffing plans, etc simply because some retailers have delivered the game earlier than expected?

just having the option to play it would be good enough im not asking for a head start. id happily play and on release date have it all reset. And the waiting doesnt bother me either, i dont just sit around on games 24/7 like some. Probably like some of you who have posted. I understand why there not open so theres no point telling me "why" I cant! I only gave my opinion on what i thought. I say again OPINION not demands, just so some of you understand..

@Amnesia not at all mate, I understand what your saying. Im just saying in my opinion if youve paid and have it you should be able to play. I know thats not going to happen ovcourse but maybe they should have put some sort off offline feature into the game knowing that some retailers mess up and send them out too early. But again i know that they would so wishful thinking i geuss
