Early Access Sold Out.

"The waves are getting rather high on this subject and I understand completely that many players are not happy about the fact that Early Access is sold out as of today and I'm sorry about the misunderstanding and the confusion this has caused.

We did limit the maximum number of possible registrations for Early Access from the beginning so it wasn't a decision we took later. We knew that a specific number of players would be willing to take the offer and get 3 days earlier access to the game. That the registrations would reach that set limit as fast as they did we didn't quite expect but that doesn't change the fact that the number was limited.

The limit was set to make sure that registered players would have the chance to download the client and access the game servers 3 days prior to launch. With an unlimited amount of players, that would not be possible.

We do take your feedback on this issue very seriously and will be back with more information about this as soon as new facts are available.

Thanks for your support and understanding."

Good news =P

Most of the people I know, including me, will not be able to play on the 17th, but have to wait until the 23rd/24th. So, 8-9 days to wait.

O:

Oh, did you sign early?

Nope, I didn't think it would "sell out", so I waited with registering until my new HD arived. Seems like this was a critical error. Oh well, I can be patient when I wait for something good

I am sorry to hear that D:

Got exactly the same thing Aetherius

This is so dissapointing... 6 days early access when the early days are so crucial.

The irony: I got my code the day the EA was sellling out, but I was at school and didn't have my creditcard, so I couldn't get it yet. And when I got home, they disabled EA
Even if I had my code one day earlier and could download it, I couldn't as my internet allows me of max 10Gb each month, which means I would have to wait a month after downloading the client ><

It's so unfair...

In what way are the early days crucial? I got my early acesscodes, so I am happy of course but it's only a few days of lost gamingtime. People will catch up in no time, and the grinders will whistle past me on their first day.

6 days...that's like 30 levels mind you, and some even 40 :s
Those who don't make it will likely be ganked ^^

I will level allot!

Unfortunately I level really slow, and is quite busy next week as well.

so what if your not the first person to level 60/80 I mean honestly that was never going to happen.

Ehum, I don't aim to be first.
