To the best of my knowledge you do get the free month included with the cost of the game purchase.

Dont get me wrong I do like the game and want to play. They really need to rethink the whole one server idea.

I wasn't even able to get my credit card info saved, so no pre-order for me, hope I will get lucky on wednesday. Are they going to make more than one server?

Or can they simply add more "mini-servers" (section it off) to the one server to handle the load?

Ok they say they are sold out. They will put more out at live. When that runs out they will not sell any more till they increase the capacity.
WTF
This means all of KGB that wants to play may not be able to play. They are not going to let as many people buy the game that want to.
Who else sees this as a problem




Two ways to look at it...

1) It's a good thing, because hopefully this means that they aren't going to have all the server crashes associated with most games that launch with a way bigger then expected population.

2) They've REALLY oversold/underprepared (hard to believe given the time this game was being developed for) and you're still going to have all the client/server issues, and not everyone who wants to play will even have the chance.


I'm going to wait a week or two after release before I actually buy the game. Money is tight and I don't want to buy into something that is going to do nothing but piss me off.

If KGB is still head over heels for the game after the 2 week or so mark (and they are going to let me buy it), I'll join everyone in game.

The first wave was 15K copies, and they said they are going to have more at launch, but only enough that they can handle and to my understanding right now they are only going to have one server up. Getting the game on launch is going to be just like pre-ordering, refresh and pray. But if dont get in on launch day I bet it will not be a week before they open things back up to try to buy the game

Ok, am I getting this right: Whether the ordering system is up or not, is it a good idea to already have your payment information in the system so you can just click "buy", or do you only have that option when the actual product is available?
