Anyone get their actual copy yet?

UPS tried to deliver mine, but I was out...

 

Just wondering if there are any differences between the beta client and the release copy.

    No differences besides a patch.

    Well, as HMV in the UK have no actual copies, I cancelled my order and got it from PLay.Com and it arrived this morning

     

    (Collectors Edition btw.)

    If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"

    Ugh. Don't even get me started on the pre-ordering. EA Store anyone?

    A few people I know picked up the box copy this afternoon.  They were pleased (we are in MST) when I pointed out that things open up at 12:01am EDT.  They should be able to play tonight.

    Hehe,honest mate I have been to hell and back with my pre-order.

    I got everything from "yep they are comming this week" to "we hope to get them to you before the game goes live" till I got this "if you wanted the headstart you should have ordered the CE of the game"

     

    hehe I could do nothing more than laugh :)

    I used direct2drive, no need wasting paper and plastic and having it just sitting around collecting dust somewhere.    I don't think im ever going to buy an actuall game box ever again, well unless its for a console but I havent touched my 360 in months.

    Local Gamestop got the boxes in this afternoon and just picked mine up.

    Have to wait till tomorrow to register the key though.

    Netherlands here. Ordered it last night before 9 CET and had it in the mail today ^_^

    Way to busy at work to play before tomorow evening though. Which is kinda ok. They might roll out more servers and tweak some caps as the pops increase. Makes it easier to choose the right server I suppose.

    I got both my CE boxes yesterday. Didnt know i ordered two so one is going back

  • MajinashMajinash Member Posts: 1,320

    yep, JUST got back from the store with it.  Gamestop had things working perfectly, got my codes when I preordered, got my box right away.  I know a lot of people have had problems with them, but its not all bad.

    Everything creates huge amounts of negativity on the internet, that's what the internet is for: Negativity, porn and lolcats.

    My Standard Edition from Amazon.com came this afternoon.

    The big news was I decided to check out Best Buy for a Collectors Edition, since when Age of Conan came out Best Buy had some CEs on the shelf on launch day.

    I checked out the PC games section and they didn't even have the SEs out. So I went to the front and asked if they could check on it for me. He called a girl from the back, who said they did have them in stock. I went back to wait for her. She brought an SE from the back, but I asked her if they had any Collectors Editions. She told me she thought so and came back a minute later with a CE!

    So, it's worth a shot to check your local Best Buy and have them check in the back for the CE! :)

    My roomie was like who was that?  And i was like "it was jesus".

    This is the kind of guy i HATE, This is the kind of guy that delibertly makes a statement a lie,  These douchebags, yes I say DOUCHEBAGS, like this guy who go and arrogantly spread misonformation have no place on these forums.

     

    If anyone has received the actual copy, I HIGHLY encourage you to install it and run that versus the beta copy. There appears to be, at the very least, many higher textures included.  The difference between the beta (i..e rather crappy graphics) vs, whats on the disc are VERY noticable.

     

    I'm not a fanboi of this game, review my posts if you think otherwise.

    As for Iterel:

    please leave these forums.  We have no patience for blatant liars like you.

    Gamestop gave me a tracking number, but the tracking number doesn't even show the item is shipped. I should have had the game by now.

    They screwed me on Head Start and now they are screwing me again.

    GRRRR!!!!!
