Firstly, there is a thread about this topic already. Secondly, everybody seems to feel entitled to be able to play the game on the first minute it release regardless where they pre-ordered. It is an issue with the shop you buy it from to deliver it on time. If they didn't guarantee that the game will be there on release day then you have absolutely no base for any claims. Seriously... if you wanted to ensure playing the game on release you would have bought one of the digital versions. For anything else, stop q.q
While I do agree with your stand-point. Some people just want to have the Ultimate or Collector's editions for the goodies they offer. On the other side, I do feel that Trion needs to make the game downloadable to those who have pre-ordered, but not yet received it (by entering their pre-order code or something). They can later enter their Collector or Ultimate codes for the added goodies. I don't agree with a grace period however, Trion doesn't need to release the game earlier (or later). Everyone should be able to download and play on release day.
How on earth are they supposed to do that, the only pre-order code is a beta access code and there were thousands of free codes like that. The only way to make everybody who pre-ordered able to play the game on release would be opening the game to anybody with a trion account and that will not happen. People need to be sensible here, also buying a game doesn't mean you are entitled to play it on release date. It seems most forget that.
they said that in the Live stream yesterday that the beta version is no good for updating for console and that they will need the disc to install... plus to release something like this for the xbox would require 30 days for certification and alot of money... then maybe xbox players would have a grace period.... 30 days later.

Yes, but they did have a download that didn't require an actual disc; hence the game could play that way.
yes possibly , but you are talking about a "Grace Period" and i would think that 30 days is a bit late for one.
Hell, even if you bought it off PSN, the store doesnt update until late in the afternoon, how would they get a "Grace Period"?

quit ordering stuff on the internet. quit being lazy and drive to the store and pick up the game so you can get it on time if that is what you want. preoder at a physical store and pick it up at said store=no problems in getting the game late. ill be driving to pick up my collectors edition Tuesday!
Actually, no: Only those who have the code already entered in, or entered in by midnight on April 1st could do it. Free codes were indeed handed out. So what? A grace period of a day or two effects nothing; after that period ends, you cannot play the game again without a code that comes with the game. Buying a product, in this case a video game, should indeed mean you get to use it on the day it is released, hence the term release day. Sure, some people didn't choose the best option, but then again Trion's having a midnight launch of the game but no midnight pick-up isn't an optimal option either.
Not worth the hazzle.
