Box Copy Arrived

I know there was concerns about the box copies not being delivered. Well, I just pulled my box copy out of the mailbox today (didn't check my mail the past couple days, so it's probably just been sitting there).

 

According to the return address, it was shipped from Sweden. And, well, it arrived in terrible condition. It's a tin box containing the disk, and the tin box is bent and contorted after being mishandled and abused during its trip from Sweden to the US.

 

That doesn't matter though, that's not necessarily SV's fault. What matters is that SV is finally delivering the box copies to those who pre-ordered. So, my personal concerns about this game being a scam have dwindled slightly. SV is actually making a video game -- IMO not a very good one in its current state -- and have delivered on their promise of providing box copies.

 

Anyone else get their box copy?

    Take a picture of it.  Also, you can throw the dvd inside the box away as it cant update to the newest client.

    I hardly think that delivering a poorly packaged tin box containing a DVD that cannot be used to install the game as delivering on their promises...  but to each their own.  If I ordered another product and it was delivered in that condition I wouldn't be thanking the company I'd be asking for a replacement or a refund.

    Starvault could have taken a shit in a box and it would be about as useful as what they sent everyone.  But ya, clearly not a scam at all!

    How is it a good thing to get a useable disc a month or so AFTER release?  Many people still haven't gotten their boxes which were mailed more than a month ago (as evidenced by the OP) .  What good will this new disc do when it arrives a month after the game is live?  It will be as useless as the first one as folks will have had to download the game to play... or forfeit their free month of gametime while waiting.

    I'm not even going to risk loading up the DVD. Actually, I don't even care to. I'm not going to be playing this game. The only purpose the tin box serves is an addition to my collection of games I no longer play, way back in the dusty section of my storage. Actually, this might be the first video game that I throw away entirely.

     

    I'll take a picture in a bit and post it.

     Here ya go:

     

    The packaging is nearly paper thin. And I paid for this September or October of 2009. Waited a long time for that pile. And there's not even a game manual or anything. Just a DVD in a tin can. The plastic insert that holds the DVD is falling out, fyi.
