Everyone seems to be up in arms about when they can play, who has the game, and who's going to get a jump start on weapons. TBH, I can't really play the game for a few days regardless. My clan and everyone who can play the game before me will have unlocks, and I won't. I've made peace with that, and realized I will get there to, and catch up to them. The people who will play 24/7 will burn out fast 9 times out of 10.

I guarentee this is how your day is going to go tomorrow....

I for one, am not looking forward to that. You'll get your unlocks, I promise you. If your with a clan and you guys have good communication, you'll get up there faster than you think. You'll live not having grenades for the first game, maybe 2 if you don't have the free unlock.

if today is anything to go by, expect lots of master server disconnects.

I think I saw 20 people being disconnected in under a minute today =/

OMG that is so funny and so true. I've been there before. Except the filefront account. I refuse to pay for premium download service.

The unlocks will come so fast it doesn't matter who gets the jump. I am excited to start playing the retail, but not enough to pee my pants. With that said, I did take Thursday off of work. It's not a big deal where I work and I would like to have a full day to install/setup and play. If it doesn't work out and I have to go to work it won't be any big deal.

Lots of crashing, disconnecting and cursing is ensued. Can't be worse than th eLineage 2 open beta event at launch hour, that's for sure.
