There's something that's really bothering me and that is SOE's way of handling beta priority. We can all agree on that SOE has on numerous occasions said that PC-gamer keys are higher on the priority scale than twitter/facebook keys and normal sign-ups, right? (One example here: [1] http://i.imgur.com/pfy5L.jpg )

Now Smedley has gone and said that that is NOT the case, just a few days before the beta is supposed to start.

Now if SOE hadn't gone out and said that PC-gamer had higher priority then I wouldn't have a problem with this but since they have gone out and said it and through that made people buy the magazine just to get in to the beta early they have completely misinformed a lot of people and made them spend money on something they wouldn't otherwise.

This isn't acceptable and they should at least come up with some sort of apology

What is your opinion on this?

I honestly don't care, being a vet and all. Especially with the whole being sub'd before the free month thing :)

You don't care about a lie? Why are you here?

I'm not even concerned, in fact its to my ADVANTAGE having obtained a twitter key.

But before I go further blaming them or not, where did they say that? I know they gave a list of priorities, but this might just have slipped their minds, unless they specifically said all keys were now all the same, again, "clearly".

I just don't want to jump the gun without seeing their words you blame them for.

Maybe people should grow up and stop with this attitude of entitlement. We don't need another thread like this. Really ? You get in when you get in. Stop with the QQ crap threads.

Don't care. Go find another game to play until they call you for beta and quit bitching.

Also, inb4 lock

So....you just want me to get my pitchfork right?


You think people who don't share your opinion shouldn't tell you different... right?

Oh for god's sakes. Prove or disprove the lie already, but don't come around telling us how lying isn't wrong and that calling out a lie is "entitlement".

Is this a joke or is everybody here a child?

Priority keys are all the same priority. They don't have different levels of "priority". It's not that complicated. Deal with it.

I think those that cry about Beta should never get in Beta.

Wow. We're the other 15 merged or locked threads starting with the same whining not enough?

I don't care if you guys wanna be babies, but consolidate it.

maybe it was a lie. I'm sorry about that. But you know what is even more sad? Paying to get in a BETA...

Ain't nothing wrong with that. Plenty of people subbed to get into beta.

At least PC gamer people could get autographs and such with it.

Oh, piss off with your judgmental attitude. You're no better than anyone else here just because you can take a piss at people at random for something you wouldn't do.

If money had changed hands for beta keys (has it technically in terms of PS1 sub's? :p) I might understand the use of the word "cheated" in thread title.

Otherwise, whose to say it's a "lie" and not just a mistake or a change in policy. There are no guarantees here. A beta tester is about them, and the game, not us as individuals. When/if any of us start paying money for a service and something goes wrong then I might understand some of the language being used here.

An apology wouldn't hurt, but it won't get you beta testing any faster either which way.
