Thread: Release postponed for a WEEK in Europe?

  1. #1

    Release postponed for a WEEK in Europe?

    I just got of the phone with a local store in Norway!

    Here is what he said:

    Shopclerk: "Notum Wars has been delayed in Norway for a week."

    Me: "Do you know why?"

    Shopclerk: "By order of the distributor the release has been delayed for a week, they don't give any specific reason. This is not uncommon on new releases."

    Me: "That sucks! But thanx for the info."

    /me hangs up
    /me very disapointed

    If my info is right:
    WHY ALL THE LIES FUNCOM!!!!

    Seem like it!


    But if they would only tell us from the start that this was their plan I wouldn't have been as pissed off as I am now!

    I do NOT like to be LIED to!

    Although it seem like it's almost imposible for FC to give out any information that is somehow missleading!

    NOW TO FUNCOM WHY DON'T U MAKE IT DOWNLOADABLE FOR YOUR currently EXISTING CUSTOMERS????

    With all the BS we have taken on the release disaster, that is the least you could offer your loyal customers.

    NEWS FLASH TO FC!

    WE ALREADY HAVE THE ORIGINAL CLIENT

    Reality check. Time after time (cue Tracy Ullman) Funcom promise through various mediums, be it press releases from the company president, bleeding-heart speeches from the head of the development team or earnest tears-in-his-eyes announcements from Cz that the communication and disinformation problems that has plagued this game since launch will "stop", "get better", "worked on so it won't happen again" etc etc etc and infinite variations thereof.

    Each and every time it totally fails to happen. The cycle repeats itself over and over and it isn't small things either. How could Funcom maintain till this morning that everything was ok, even to the extent of posting an announcement on the main page to this effect, full well KNOWING that this was all bolloxed? They've deliberately held back the euro release date, there's no doubt about this now.

    Is it any wonder Cosmik quit? Let's see how our fellow euro players take this kick in the teeth.

    I don't blame Cz he is not to blame.

    However the people delibertaly feedeing Cz missinformation, believe it or not we are not at war (as of yet anyway....), deliberat missinformation belongs during wartimes, and not when you are trying to inform paying customers.

    Yes I know they just make the game, but shipping it from manufacturers 2-3 days before it goes live, talk about disorganized?

    Finaly starting to calm down

    Hopefully guildmates got NW on time and they buildt on a nice spot

    cya all in game, after all the emergenzy patches that usually follows "planed" patches

    Well I saw you say the following in referral to your conversation with the clerk in the shop:

    "By order of the distributor the release has been delayed for a week, they don't give any specific reason. This is not uncommon on new releases."


    That means the distributor is to blame. Not sure who's the distributor for this particular title but you might check www.bj.no or www.egmont.no as these are the usual suspects.

    Digital River is the distributer, they have it listed on backorder even though people are getting the games through other pre-order places.
    So, Digital River has a few problems and their systems are c***.

    I don't think they distribute to retail. Only pre-orders.
