hell the speeder may be crap, but its undestructable, means no more blowing up when on overt missions, or NS hunting
The speeder is destructable, but it costs you 20k to get a new one.

Lol if only that were true. The ONLY superpower with the potentialchallenge America now is Europe and that doesn't really exist.

I don't know why the UK is getting it 2 weeks late, it should be the same code as US, but I will say this. Late of not, the people in the UK don't deserve any special treatment. Sorry if that sounds harsh but give me a freaking break.
1. The flashspeeder wasn't a GIFT from SOE to begin with!! If Amazon.co.uk didn't promote it to bad, get over yourself its not that great anyways. It was a EB and Gamestop pre-order gift ONLY. All the devs did was say "Yup we will put the code in for it and give you special Pre-order CD Keys" Stop B~tchen.
2. AGAIN the Sorosuub Vetran Reward isn't a GIFT for ordering JTL. Its a REWARD for having a 6 consecutive month account. If you don't have 6 month by the time JTL Releases in the UK then you don't RATE it. Simple as that.
There is no justice for cheating a game system that's in place. You pre-order from the companies offering the Flash-speeder or you don't. You either rate the 6 month REWARD...or you don't. Sorry you gotta wait 2 extra weeks, but that is absolutly no justification for you to rate one GIFT from a company you didn't order from, and it sure as crap doesn't mean you rate a 6 month REWARD.

As we can expect from an US Player!! No sympathy whatsoever!! Not seeing the BIG Picture!! Not seeing how many players got screwed!
Easy talking for you as you live nice and neat into your US Country and have NOTHING to worry about!
You have received the bonus....you will receive your JTL on time!!
JUST PUT YOURSELF IN OUR SHOES AND THEN WE TALK AGAIN!!
Im just putting some suggestions for compensation here for THE BIG FAILURE what's happening on the JTL Release Distribution!!
Why do you group all us US playes together as unsympathectic people? I can't put myself in your shoes because I've already got my copy. I can tell you this much though you did pay for your copy of JTL and you haven't gotten it yet, that isn't fair but such is life. I have guildmates that are in Europe and they can't play and I feel bad for them. Is that 2 weeks honestly going to keep you from becoming a great pilot, no it's not, you just can't get what you want when you want it, which apparently is right now. Themain flaw in your argument is that the "compensation" you are asking for is either a reward or a gift for older players.
You want a flashspeeder?
Then you should have preordered from gamespot or ebgames...if that option was unavailable then that's too bad. I did order from gamespot but I didn't get my code for my flash speeder code, I'm not griping or complaining why because in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. I didn't pay anything extra to preorder the game itself...did you?
You want a sorosuub yacht?
Then you should have bought the game and registered around May or April of this year or earlier. Why, because this a reward for paying SOE for this game for 6 months. As of today you've paid for 1month and 14 days and the first month of that was paid for when you bought the game. You are in no position to ask for the same reward that is given to players who have been around much longer than you have.
I wouldn't have so much of a problem with your post if you actually had more time on your account...but you come out here with 1month and 14 days of play time and you want something that others have paid for 6 months at least to get. IfI seem unsympathetic then I'm sorry but honestly your argument would bevalid if there wasn't so many conflicts of interest that work in your favor.
Should you be compensated? Maybe not in-game but you should definatly be given a full explaination of what happened and a full apology. But as it stands right now...you want to have something for doing virtually nothing.

TXAG2006, your points are well made and I agree with you. However, I have not asked for the Sorosuub, as I get it as a veteran anyway, and rightly so. And as for the flashspeeder being only a North American pre-order only offer, that was not my understanding of it, I thought it was an incentive to pre-order to all.
I would however like to simply understand why the country I live in getting left behind a lot of others without any official explanation. And because of that I think that some sort of token in-game gesture from SOE is not an unreasonable request.
Your requests are not unreasonable and I hope I didn't come off sounding as if you didn't deserve anything.
You should get your yacht and I hope you don't have any issuse with the bug that I did, which miscounted my days and said I wasn't eligible for my ship for a few days. I would alsolike to understand why your country (and all others) are getting left behind as well. It should be fixed. As for a reward I said maybe because I couldn't think at that time of something to give you nice folks that would be fair to the rest of the player base and useful to you at the same time.
In my opinion you should get something...but when people start getting things and others don't, players get upset. Just like you and the other players who are being forced to wait for the expansion (as well you should be).
Maybe they could give you some completed loot kits or something like that, I mean those are random spawns and are hard to get and wouldn't cause a problem if more people had these. They can't give you credits due to flooding the economy. Maybe some lvl 2-3 ship components, but these are so easy to loot in space that you'll soon find yourself thinking that you were screwed over again. I hope this is resolved and would like to see a locked thread or 2 with a full explaination as well as an apology.
