I can't respond to this kind of shit seriously, I guess I JUST DON'T PLAY BY THE RULES.

Would be awesome if the exp exploiters got banned or had their chars rolled back
And what's the fun in powerlevelling in this game. People...people

Uh I actually tend to agree that a staggered launch is the best approach for an MMO or expansion to one, but this post is absurd. "Earned" and "paid for" are not the same thing.
Amazon will be shipping early (15th). SE and CE.

XP exploits?

Not even sure what's going on.
Hopefully Gamestop and Best Buy follow suit
They say people are gaming pvp matches to get the full xp bonus in a couple of minutes. Doing that over and over is much faster than questing.
Pretty sure it's EA/BW realizing they fucked up with the grace period and making a deal with Amazon to get it shipped asap.

There's some sort of PvP exploit that's letting people get a ton of levels. I think I read that some dudes were already 35.

I don't think they're gaming it as much as there aren't enough people in the queues, so many of them are ending prematurely due to lack of players in the game. Funnily enough, I think it's sort of a problem they created by not sending enough invites to give the servers the population to prevent it consistently.
Where did i say paid for? I still havent paid a dime for my preorder. The rules were preorder first get early access. I followed the rules and gained/earned/was given early access like i and others were promised.
I think it involves people pvping as groups so it probably isn't a population bug/issue. Could just be one big troll. I couldn't care less if people hit 50 in 2 days.
In Canada Future Shop still refuses to ship early.

As I mentioned in the old SWTOR thread though, Toys R Us in Canada should have physical copies in store on the 19th for sale as they bumped the sale date up a day.
No idea if I'm just going to break down and buy it via Origin so I don't have to leave the house, or if I'm going to spend the time to go out and try to get a CE at retail.
You can't join a PvP queue as anything larger than a group of four, so it definitely is a population/queue issue. If there was a healthier population in the queue, you wouldn't be able to consistently get the other side of your team set up as people you could coordinate with. If you tried to force the issue by intentionally dropping people from your own group, other people in a more full queue would replace you before the game closed (there's a two minute grace period while the game looks for another user in the queue).
And once again people are simply whining about not being able to play. Who cares about xp exploits? That goes on in every mmo.
Then it sounds like pure troll/speculation

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHH.
An MMO thrives around balance. Things like this have to be addressed. It has nothing to do with who currently has access or not.

I preordered the regular edition but those CEs do look dreamy.
I got Cataclysm a day before the launch. =3
Of course, I didn't know, so I missed my postage and had to pick it up the next day.
Before Bioware closed down their forums to clean them they had posted they were talking to Walmart as well so its probably all retailers they are working with.
Regardless I guess since I got in early I just need to play the shit out of it over the next week on the off chance my retail copy gets delayed
I think it is definitely happening, since first day populations in early access are extremely low from a per-server standpoint. Certainly far lower than anything during beta, which probably accounts for their lack of foresight in this particular case. It's a simple fix, though, and the extent of damage it is realistically capable of is extremely minor, since it is dependent on the population remaining low (which obviously as EGA progresses it won't).
Were I BioWare I'd still probably just adjust experience game on a warzone that is force closed and let the rest sort itself out.
Yes balance as in lvl 50 vs lvl 50 not just who can get to cap quickest. The people doing this would have just power leveled some other way anyways.

So is it possible to cancel a pre-order? Did they bill the full game already? Played for a bit tonight and it doesn't run well on my laptop. Around 13 FPS.

Should be able to cancel with the company you ordered it from
Yea I saw that. Very happy about that.
Crap. I actually wanted to sleep before the game arrived at my house. Figured since I wouldn't be able to play I could just sleep for 6 hours before it comes and then play.
No sleep for me.
The Brony GAF guild is.
I'm on the west coast and I've had no issues play on east coast servers.
Authenticator app is live (at least for apple stuff in Australia)

I'm diggin this game but man.... a lot of these armors make my female BH look like she has an ass for tits. What in the world is going on with these armor models?
If I'm getting one in the CE do I need to wait for that or can I pair either/or to my account?

I think you need the retail box code before you can attach an authenticator to it

Was through EA/BW. May have to call them.
Lol ninja edit. I was about to say I couldn't find it.
What kind of latency have you had so far?
When do most app releases go live in AUS?
Thursdays are usually the big days in the states.
Also guys, choice in server isn't as much about latency issues as it is more about raid times and the likes... at least for someone like me anyways.
I wonder if it ever gets release on the Japanese iTunes :|

If it works like that other MMO that I will not name, you just need your username/password
