Please offer a Grace Period for Physical Pre Orders. ~ Requesting a Dev Response

[Spaisekraft]

I learn this along time ago with Collector edition or Special edition of any game, and that is to pre-order it as soon as they announce it, then cancel it if you change your mind later.

Unfortunately with how Trion has been advertising, I only learned about this game around 5 weeks ago.

Most games have it but not this one.. why do you assume this for every game?

Why would you not do it? .... I can see I would have to sit here for hours arguing with you about this... its not worth my time or yours.. lets just agree to disagree.

[IGears]

what about the fact of this Grace period that you get to play it for a few day and then before you get your copy, you decide to cancel the order... who willing to take that loss?

it because everyone expects everything and when you dont get it, you just complain until you do... i hope you dont do this with everything you do in real life.

but its like: "closed mouths doesn't get feed"

OK LAST TIME... lol.

Most people give Grace Period and it works like this.

Step 1: You get the game from the store or online vendor.
Step 2: You get a receipt that has a PRE REGISTRATION Code that lets defiance know you have Pre Ordered the game.
Step 3: You go home and you enter the code on the Receipt.
Step 4: Grace Period Kicks in on Pre Regestration Code the day of Release.
Step 5: You have a 1 - 3 day Grace Period in which you can play the game before they lock the account and you have to enter your Retail Key to get your account unlocked.
Step 6: You enter your Official Retail Key you get with box and you get to play again.

If you cancel your Pre Order then you dont get to play the game. Longer then the Grace Period of 1 - 3 days.

so someone can play a BUY TO PLAY game for free for a few days if this happens? Is that Fair or right?

Its no different then a free trial. But again done talking about it with you.. Hope you have fun in game. I will have fun playing on the 2nd. Best wishes.

Essentially, yes. Defiance already has a guest pass that allows people to play for a limited amount of time. What is the worst thing that can happen from a day or two of grace period? Nothing.

That's great for PC users, what about Xbox or PS3? There is no download-able client to grant a 'grace period'. SO 2 out of there platforms get the shaft on grace period but cause you have a PC version you get a pass? Pffft. Never gonna happen, bad business all the way round.

they just had downloadable clients to Xbox and PS3 for the beta weekends. I would bet they use the same thing....
