The whole pay wall to play before anyone is kinda suspicious.

  1. You are trying to make people paying $50 (or whatever the price set) for an early access game.
  2. The reason for this early access is because the dev team need to test the server??? I mean the whole beta test dind`t prove any good data about internet stress and server capacity??? If i recall more people is better if you really want to stress the server capacity.
  3. If you really need to test stuff, you can do another Close beta, so people can keep given useful info like they already do, i mean do you really think those few foolish enough to pay this fee will prove to be useful for gathering data or they gonna reach cap level as fast as they can so they can have an avantage over anyone who doesn´t pay.

Just saying, this is really suspicious and i dont find ANY good reason for an early access and even more if you need to pay for it.

it’s not about testing, they want to reduce the stress for server when the game actually begin.
you know people won’t play the game if there is wipe, right?
And you can always wait until released date to play for free, don’t wanna pay, don’t. Ez

lmao oh yes it taught them something. If you played the first half of iCBT2 you would know they definitely know the situation by now. Thus, a pay wall is introduced.

I get it, but what is the point testing a stress test with the early access people, because the amount of people at launch it would be 10 or more times superior, let say 500 people join the early access and the game run perfectly, then at launch 2000 more people join the same server and the game lag as hell, because the game never reach the point of stress and in the end the whole early access was pointless. Believe me, i have been there at Wow day one launch day for a new expansion and even if the beta runs awesome, at launch is always crush, because the same reason, at launch the amount of player is always 10 times mores than any beta, so the server always crush.

People can’t handle power well, there is always someone who has to dictate in order to maintain order, and that person or organization is no exception to the rule… No one can handle power well, but there are ways to minimize damage. I suggest to implement a feature for the staff to create god-mode posts xD or post that can’t be sabotaged by common users.

Should do two separate founder’s servers, for one month each.

One goes from late March to late April. The second goes from early May to early June. Make the first server more expensive to balance the hype. Maybe allow players a one-time chance to merge their accounts onto one server at official launch.

-No one gets 3 months ahead in levels and gear.
-People eager to P2P get their fix. And there won’t be large gaps in availability to play.
-IMC gets more breathing room for whatever tweaks they need, with the benefit of punctuated periods of actively-playing communities.

…I really rather play sooner than later, and have $$$ to fork over for it. :wink:

Sorry but @Staff_Julie’s STAFF isn’t in caps and it’s bothering the crap out of me…

My OCD senses are tingling.

I don’t know why there are still many conspiracy theories.
I’m not sure why industry are you working or even know how IT and networking is work.

It is very common that every popular game have extraordinary high traffic zerg fest in 2-3 weeks upon launching, it caused busy traffic and many server issues like server down, it is expected exceptional case and not bug for test, then it comes to many complains like “sucks game”, “bad team”, “they should have create more servers even before know the exact players base”, “I want a SEA/EU/Latin server it is too lag (even in iCBT we tested it is okay under normal traffic” and bla bla bla.
Somemore, many jerks will create dozen of accounts because they can do it free, developers will be in problem to face multiple issues at same time like server issues and hackers.

And will you take the responsible to be blamed? And you will pay the cost for rent more servers when the traffic will drop significantly over 1 month?

For those that want participate in level race and ladder climb, just pay for $9.99 EA3, they make it minimum enough compare to other games like BnS. As many suggested, if you are not even able to pay $9.99 or even afraid take risk to pay $9.99 that you think you will regret later, you really should worry about your life and spend more time on it.

It was probably loaded that way just to make sure the 1 month option was favored.

Isn’t Staggered, has most item value, and actually gives IMC at least some time to get some changes out there before F2P, while also appeasing to those who did not want to wait 3 months for F2P.

#1063

To be honest I don’t feel confortable with any choices IMC put in this poll, and I belive the most important option is missing here. This poll should have an option like “Don’t feel confortable with any of the previous options? Send us your feedback in how we should monetize the early stages of iToS”, then those who choose this option for example get a link to a Google Form to write their feedback to send to devs or any staff who take care of forums.

This way good feedback don’t get lost in hundreds and hundreds threads, or get lost in endless topics and get some protection against trolls who flags or flame bait. Also, it is much more organized and clean read feedback in those Forms than here in Forums. But the most important is this show you are still open for community feedback.

That doesn’t answer his question. That could mean it will start on June 19th like the original full launch was planned. It doesn’t say the exact date, it just says that it will start at the same time, regardless of which pack is chosen. They aren’t saying it will still start march 22nd. They’re saying it will be starting at a different time because of this new system and that the time will be the same no matter what pack is chosen.

#1065

How do i become a founder? i was in the beta and haven’t been able to check the TOS site until recently. is there a way i can still buy in to the early access release?

#1066

That’s a technique to maintain the capacity of global server. I forgot the name of it but if you are not Electrical Engineer, you may find it hard to understand.

#1068

It can mean either or.
They didn’t say “release shall start on similar date”

It says SERVICE. As in they planned to sell the packs from the 16th of march til server is opened on the 22nd, which is technically their service.

Though we won’t know unless they make it clear for us.

@STAFF_J

you made a typo on the announcement page.

[MAR 18th UPDATE - FAQ]

  • Access will aslo be restricted from Hong Kong and Macau
#1070

Which wouldn’t be good for IMC nor the community, so I would say the 1 Month option is way better. We all want to play and see the community grow fast, but giving them only 1 week to work on stability would just lead to lot of troubles. Also as we all want to see tos alive for a long time paying for founders pack is a good way to keep IMC motivated :slight_smile:

Relax man… wtf.
