Preorder FAQ - Updated Jan 30th

im wondering if the 7 day boost is "activated" in game in real time, or just counts down from the 7 day to zero during "logged" in time, big difference.

thats a nobraner its a premium serves it will run it real time

[D351]

I think the idea would be to do it in real time (starting at code entry) to encourage a high number of players for the first week.

those of us playing on console are getting shafted, none of the console editions list the "Unique Vehicle Color" and the PC "deluxe" says 30-day vs. 7-day for console

I just want whats in the (DELUXE PC) edition for my 360 >.<

The trade off is the art, stickers, figurine, dvd, contract, music....

You are getting what a collectors edition is suppose to be. The difference is the PC version can do a digital version (which is becoming more popular) and they are compensating those people with longer bonuses instead of reaping the benefits of not having to send these people the collectors edition crap. From a monetary standpoint though you get more for you money with the physical copy.

lol as I'm making this post I'm convincing my self I probly want the 360 collectors edition ~_~

but I'm not clear on the "Unique Vehicle Color" it's listed under the DELUXE PC edition only?

"The preorder offer is not a vehicle color as much as a special color vehicle. All Ark Hunters start out with a quad runner they can summon at any time. Those who preorder will have a different looking starting vehicle than anyone else. The color does not apply to any other vehicle you acquire or drive as you play the game."

"Those who preorder will have a different looking starting vehicle "

ok so its a vehicle not just a color "great" but do I only get it if I preorder the "DELUXE PC edition?" or is it for any preorder like the "In-game title: IRON DEMON" or is it suposed to be included in the "console Collector's Edition"?

Trion seriously needs to update there websit with better more precise/ clear wording -_-

That vehicle color might only be for the digital PC version to make sure they're getting something unique for their $100. They're paying the same price as the other CEs but they don't get any of the cool physical stuff.

To bad i dont think the physical stuff is any kind of cool.
I'd rather have the 30 day XP boost.

[Kordesh]

I'm assuming these are items that come in general if you pre-order, but for clarification, the following items:

Guaranteed BETA invite
OUTLANDER outfit
Weapon*
3 day XP boost
In-game title: IRON DEMON

Do you get those regardless of where you pre-order (with the exception of the weapon which will vary from vendor to vendor) or just via Trion?

A lot of clans/guilds will not except you if you don't have the Ultimate edition. The multi-player will most likely be real fun on the xbox.. You'll get owned in Multi-player for not having a good starting weapon...

How nice of them to group together into a guild so I can tell which people I should ignore at a glance. Seriously, people like that, not worth your time.

Now what gets me is that it says it needs 10gb of available storage. Does that mean it will store 10gb of info on the xbox. If so I'll need a bigger hard drive

[Inquisitioner]

I doubt the pre-order bonuses applies with "Amazon.co.uk". Considering, how you first pay upon them shipping the ultimate edition to you, which they'll first do on the day the game releases.

[Darktide]

Well I'm sure they wouldn't list what you get if it won't apply. There is a little thing called the trading act.
