The hillbilly garage developer that thinks they can publish their own game strikes again! After going through AV's "online store" fiasco when they released, it's pretty clear that all these homemade developer online stores are going to be broken when they open it, it doesn't matter how much time they "work" on it. Meh, doesn't bother me, I just hope their system can handle my chargeback if the game sucks.
I don't think I want to play on anymore european developed games. Funcom, AV, and now another one that people are taking bets on whether they fall on their ass or not?
Here is some interesting info regarding pre-ordering and beta: http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/287508-post15.html tl;dr - You have to pay full price the moment you pre-order.
Yea EB Games finally got smart too with the whole if you pre-order and get a beta key you can't cancel. Kinda sucks I loved doing that.. And I'm pretty sure I bought the games I did that with regardless.. Oh well I'll probably be pre-ordering and trying since I need something to play.
Well, the main difference that you'll notice, is that the MO developers are being honest about WHY they're charging for the preorder. I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best.
Yes, everyone seems honest while they are taking your money, otherwise why would you give it to them? Doesn't mean they are honest. We'll see soon enough. If there are huge queues and/or horrible lag for weeks and weeks, we'll pretty much know. I got my fingers crossed, but the track record of these types of deals is becoming pretty terrible. I would love to play a nice scary open pvp mmo without the company becoming all stupid and blowing themselves up, for once.
No one? dang it! now I can't mooch off anyone! NOOOOO! jk. yeah I will just wait on some actual reviews when its released. I don't want to get burned like I did on DFo =(
i like the idea of this game but i want to see more revies, and maybe some beta testing before. the game looks diferent enogh to compite, like a DF, with ONDA!
Damn, the regular boxed version of this game costs $75. Which needs to be paid upfront, no less. Yeah, I think I'll let other people get scammed on this one, lol.
Yeah when I read that I was like "Um....no...maybe some other day. LIke once I know it's not like Darkfall."
75 bucks? whaaaa? wow they are nuts. 59 is even too much at times.. which is my limit =( I guess I will be waiting longer then I thought for this one XD bargain bin!
I don't think we'll be waiting that long. The US market won't pay 75 bucks for a game EVER(Collectors Edition Excluded). I saw the AoC CE for 9.99 on Madness.
75. Heh. Well, it's fitting that I already lost interest before, because that would have killed it anyway.
I so wish we could have been in MO rather than Aion. I already have this new found hatred for asians.
