I know it isn't SOE's fault, but you have to vent somewhere don't you?
Franky the treatment of UK players regarding JTLS is appaling, I could handle the first slip from Oct 29th to Nov 5th.
But another slip to November 12th? come on, what is the reason for this? does anyone actually know the truth?
I have contacted Activision through their own UK website and so far have had no reply, it seems even they don't know what's happening, franky i am disgusted, the UK always seem to come off worst compared to everyone else in situations like this, we get put off and put off, and never get any "official" reason why.
We should not have to import copies from other countries, we should not have to buy the CD-key from the internet and download the game.
We should get the same release date as everyone else.
I mean what the hell is wrong here? we pay the same as everyone else, andwe expect the same level of service.

Wahhhhh..... You live in a country on the opposite side of the globe from where the game is published... What did you honestly expect? It's a predominaltly US based game, so of course US residents get it first. They're closer! Jeesh.

Up yours dude, I think you would be complaining if you were getting the same treatment as we are.
And i'm not talking about the US you knucklehead, other european countries have the game already, we in the UK are the only ones without it.
Of course it would be released in the US first, that could only be expected seeing as it is a US game.

Actually, the UK does get alot of stuff before North Americia. You had flat screen monitors before us. You had plasma TVs before us, just to name a couple.
I do understand what you are going through. For the longest time, Canada was in the same boat. The States would get all the cool stuff, and then a month or two later we would getit. Sometimes we would never get it. The cereal Trix comes to mind. When I was a kid, I saw that advertised on TV all the time. Canada nevergot it.

can i just say
you can buy it off the shelf in Hungary, France, Germany, Denmark.
These are countries that have it on the selves, that we have heard people have bought it in.
SO its just the UK, its wide spread in mainland europe.

Canada never got Trix? What the...?
Did they think there was no market in Canada for breakfast? Do you guys not eat in the morning up there? Or do you guys have something against a rabbit who has an unhealthy fixation with a breakfast cereal?
I'd love to hear the justification for that!

I agree. If companies are gonna release global games such as mmorpg's are on the internet. EVERYONE should be treated the same. Hence why registering through launchpad for the expansion is WAAAAAY better than releasing retail. I do not understand why they did not do this, or even still why is hasnt been made available. Its proven effective through other mmorpg's. JUST DO IT SOE!
