chipping from usa i verry hard why you havent try eb games from the uk better service and cheaper , but i agree on you standpoint about the speeders , cant make seo give them to all users that buy jtl , or bring it in speciale pack out, like the sunglasses, sorry SOE this is disapointing me,

idea maybe you must find alot people that wanne buy swg in turkey togheter presale let say 50 copies than its cheaper to tranfer.

anyway your right on those point but dont leave the game for it
have fun whit your friends online

This is not a thread about racism politics but about SOE POLICY.I just put the rasicst word so that maybe just maybe i can get attetion to a developer so they will think about this subject at jtl.







Now you are changing your argument. You called SOE and LA racist for not making it available. Now you are saying they should be more considerate.


If you can't get any gaming company to ship the game to you in Turkey so that you can get the Flash Speeder, then I think you have a problem with Turkey. I'm guessing there is a reason none of these companies will ship to you and that has to do with the laws of shipping things into Turkey.


I pre-ordered, and I'm not getting a flash speeder. Big deal! This happens all the time. Games or CD's will be released in Europe with bonuses not available in the States. Guess what? We live with it. You can live with this too.

I've purchased things from the other side of the planet (Greece, Italy, Syria & Japan) and never had to pay more than $20 for shipping fees...so, I don't know where the origional poster got the $60 shipping from...the game doesn't weigh much. Certainly not more than 10-15 lbs statues I've bought before so I have my doubts. Maybe he needs to look for another avenue...Perhaps order it from a store in Europe and have them ship it to him...I think he over reacted with the whole racist/discriminatory thing. SOE/Lucas Artscan't possibly have a publishing center at every corner of the planet.

Also, your whole argument sucks. It's common sense that it is going to cost more to ship it to other countries. Other MMO games from Japan have had little perks to gamers living in Japan, but it was never seen as discriminatory or racist. Whine about something that matters.

USA, is a country, and SOE is in USA, they are not entitled or forced to share pre-ordered benefits with other countrys.


however, you could have a friend in the US buy it for you then forward the mail to you.....


and like most say, the vehicle isnt all that great anyways, its just a fasion show.

Sorry to hear about your situation, but I think most of us here understand your point, but you seem to be missing the point. The $60 in shipping that your being charged is what it's going to cost whom ever you ordered game from to ship it from you to them. It's not a number just pulled out of the air, it all depends on who they are using to deliver the package. SOE or anyone for that matter have little to no control over those costs. It's just as they say, the cost of doing business.

I understand that you're upset that you didn't have the ability or means to pre-order JTL, but to scream that you're being discriminated against is absolutely unfounded as whom ever you order the game from has no clue who you are other than just a customer who wants the game. It's just an unfortunate situation that possibly could be fixed if you explain your situation & the circumstances in a more logical & rational way instead of screaming racisim & descrimination.

But if I were you, I would direct an email the way of customer service instead of trying to post here because something like this will most likely go unanswered by anyone at SOE. But just remember, calm, rational, logical. More than likely you'll get further that way.

Good Luck to you.

Update! The Flash Speeder was an EB/GameStop preorder promo only. And if I recall right, EB/GameStop and the LucasArts store were the only places you could pre-order JTL from. But still, email customer serivce & see what can be done.
