The info that I find on the net in relation to the Release Date of the Booster Pack is very disturbing.
Some ppl say they have pre-ordered, but haven't received any information so far, when their pre-ordered copy will be shipped.
I didn't pre-order, but just checked various reseller-sites and found varying information:
Webhallen.com (Sweden) has it listed with Release 28.11.
Joysoft.de (Germany) has it listed (US version) with Release 29.11. , the don't have a confirmed date for the German version, their estimate is 28.11. - this date is - however - unconfirmed until today!
Okaysoft.de (Germany) also has it listed with Release 29.11. (US version) and has another version (multi-language) listed with Release 27.11. ??
Play.com (UK) has it listed with Release 6.12. (!!!!)
Koch-Media (Germany) also has it listed for a Release in December (4.12.).
So I might draw the conclusion that nobody really knows... I mean at least the pre-orders should have already been shipped if release is on Thursday in the US (in the stores).
If the US gets the Booster before the Europeans, all Europeans will be at a big disadvantage - since - more than likely - all *good* areas (or even *all* areas) will already be occupied and it will much harder to try and take over an area than to *freshly* occupy one.
Solution: FC should withhold the functionality of the Tower Vendors until the Booster has been released in Europe and the US. Simple....
It is simply not right that Europeans (who make for a large portion of the player-base) are being put at such a big disadvantage.
