    I am one of the idiots who pre-ordered into beta and let me tell you i am pissed, well mostly at myself but anyways....  In the six days i had my beta (before i uninstalled) I got about 20 min of play time the rest of the time i could not log in and I tried everyday several times.  I will be seeking legal action. Also if you like Rp you will love this NDA breaking sneak peek.  The NPC orcs love to use the word awesome which i found very immersing.  Well the 1 of 20 that actually had dialog the 1 time i got on.  I guess the yucks alone from the dialog written by people who speak english as a 3rd language may be enough to keep me trying to acces my paid alpha testing.image

    I hate to say this but: You have been charaged for your pre-order Beta, but there is still a NDA. Anyone want to share there beta experiences here(you have the right now, regardless of the Publishers threats)?

  • MarkuMarku Member Posts: 452

    I have to agree with Narrk. Its not the developers fault ,its the publisher who randomly said to them that they had to release it monday and im gunna stick with this game for at least a couple months..

    This is no "misfortune". This preorder scam was calculated and vicious. MMORPG community needs to stick together and warn eachother of very un-ethical business practices. They are not publishing for 4 weeks, all you get is a beta.

    Your logic is about the same is "All you guys being happy about enron's miss fortune just make me sick. "

  • MarkuMarku Member Posts: 452

    Again, probably the publishers fault...

    Where is this philosophy coming from that it's OK if it's the "publishers fault"? You couldn't be deluding yourself more.

    The development team and publisher are BOTH horrible... but regardless, it is not healthy to view the two as separate entities. They formed to create this project and should be seen as one in the same, working together to build the game. Despite all this, tiamat IS the 'community manager' AND 'lead designer' therefore the community liaison obviously lies with the development team. It should not be the publisher's responsibility to speak directly to the community.

    Ha Blame it on someone else all the time... The movie made me do it... Cartoons...Video games... The church...the school... everyone elses fault.  There all "ALL" to blame here!  But you won't listen!  The Devs are cold calculating and the publisher is probably as well!  So there!  Go pre-order another copy ok!

    Some crazy things have been said at Mourning but I can not see any proof that this is real. If this is real info I would like to see a link to this info or were this info came from. Ive never seen the dev team sign anything Dev. There comments always end with Egomancer or tiamat from what Ive seen.

    It's probably fake, but great imitation of their writing :)

    Sure Misfortune might not have bin the best word to use. but i did not mean you trying to worn people about the game mad me sick infact from what i have read it sems more the i was pointing out some of you actuly was happy about how its going for mourning and i did not mention anything about the preorder scam thing. I was talking more about the WEEE mourning is going down atitude that made me sick. and what i meant with misfortune was in fact the misfortune of all of use that have invested in mourning. but hay thats my mistake from not being clear enufe about what i meant with what i wroth. and now we come to one more point that helps me see how this forum work´s ther are alot picking out key words and twisting them in to what you whant it to say. this is not the first time on this forum i have sens somone taking a text and then inturpert it as they fit. ok in this case sens people was talking about the preorder scam i can see how you cod jump to the conclusion and dont blame you for it. but if i where you i wod not try to discredit somone by using a text that dose not clerly state what it is that persone means.

    How can so many people come to so many conclusions from reading the same Text?

    This might sound silly however-

    Lots of people all over the different forums want to sue. The american branch of this game is in trouble.

    Narrk if you had all your threads that questioned game issues deleted from the mourning forum I think you might have a different opinion about all our anger, and how a company could do somthing like this to a community.

    And not to mention Tiamat........

    He's like Hitler......and no that isn't an exagerration.

    There is a reason there are so many posts here, most of us got the heebee jeebees from monitoring the Mourning Forums.

    We did its true....

    We got $hitcanned from a$$hole to breakfast time for doing it too

    but whos giggling now ?
