Nothing against pre-orders but...
This is not a flame at pre-orders but just some of my past experiances. I personally don't like the stress of pre order and
am disappointed that I can't download. If my cable modem and
IBM harddrive are good enough for me to "Purchase" AO, as I did 3 weeks ago by downloading it, why can't I DNLoad NW?
Last MMORPG I pre-ordered was at Walmart days before it got to me as an example.
Vash,
No NW till 12/3 Tuesday?!?!
I pre-ordered mine through my local store, which is affiliated with www.gamestop.com and I was told release on 11/25, game in store on 11/26. So, I went ahead and paid the full price for the pre-order and, then...
Update #1: release changed to 11/26, game in store on 11/27.
NOW!!!: release still 11/26, game in store on Tuesday 12/3!?!
The local store said there was a mess with getting the copies from the manufacturer and that UPS will not be able to deliver the game until Tuesday 12/3.
This is really starting to remind me of the intial Funcom release. What a bunch of confusion a big mess. Yuck!
I preordered the same day they started..
taking orders.
Status is "shipment pending".
