I'm just curious as to how many people have managed to register copies of JTL despite the fact its not sposed to be launched till tomorrow apparently. Is there any chance SOE want to drop us some figures so we have an idea of just how many people are getting the jump on this ..yeah I know not a cat in hells chance that is gonna show up .. but you gotta ask
Considering that guys who pre-ordered dont seem to have gotten copies.. not a single store in our area has a copy available and have dates ranging from 26th to Nov 8th for availability. There is no electronic download option for people in remote areas and players appear to be already training in shipwright leaving the rest of us at a distinct disadvantage... whats the deal with having a launchdate and no frickin software for a load of us?
Half the online stores don't seem to have any available and are still on preorder and adding on shipping sucks when we need 3 copies in our household.. not that it would have gotten here anyway by the sound of it.
All I'd like to know is why there was no moves to lock down theregistration service until Sony were sure that the game was gonna be available, instead of asking people politely not to register cos you forgot to lock em out.....why arent the shipwright and Pilot trainers in a non useable status like vendors waiting to be initialized to give us all a fair crack at this?
I love you guys but this is not exactly thrilling, it's damned frustrating to know a select few people are getting a jump on the rest of us, specially reading about some of the stores where one branch will sell early and others claim they would be fined if they do... fair enuff that its not your fault that distribution screwed up.. but put a delay on it for a few days to give everyone a chance.. the big celebration's seem to be cancelled already? so why not just push it back a few days totally and let everyone start when the masses have access not the minority
I know the guys who have it already are probably screaming NOooooo but who the hell wants to have a celebration with 13 peoplewho were lucky enough to have a copy early (on time??) The game should have been in stores last weekend and ready for launch day....

sorry just venting some frustration, our guys have been working darn hard to get ready for this... and its nowhere in sight.... where the hell is JTL??? lost in space? LOL
.....on a happier note... you guys have done great things with JTL.. even though I have a few dislikes about some aspects.. enforced quests for pilots ...neutrals being forced to do them especially sucks .... I think what you have done with JTL since the first few days of beta is awesome... thanks for all the hard work.. now if we could just get hold of it to see the final product???
PS.. if anyone inEngland gets a copy before me .. send one over LOL cos at this rate you guys ARE gonna get it before us

And also if youd think about it SOE should just cut out the middle man and just let us download it and charge our CC to just skip the damn going to the store crap.

Its my understanding that the stores get them today and sell them tomorrow and that the preorder people's would be shipped and arive on the 27th.
