People undestand it well, it is you who need to understand that pre-launch is still a launch.
according to? it's A launch but not THE launch.. game launches the 28th
This isn't beta. The production servers are live. What is so hard to understand ?
game release date is aug 28th what do you not understand? pre-access has has always been a bonus for people who paid early nothing more.
Yes a bonus which we dont get. That is called false advertising because the pre-PURCHASE was sold on the premise of head start, which is not happening for lots and lots of people.
where in writing does it say guarnteed 24/7 3 days of play before RELEASE.. no MMO guarntees that even after launch.. please
What are you dense? It says clearly on their web page that you get a 3 days head start. Not 1 or 2.5 but THREE. If the game does not allow you to log in then what kind of headstart is it? Headstart for them to get their hands on our money, that's what.
wow you people are some of them ost delisional people i have ever seen.. so I suppose you bitch and maon everytime your favorite MMO goes down for patch time as well? I mean hell you are paying for that game it should be UP 24/7 right?
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

That was the BW and the stress test, ¨head start¨ is the official launch, because most of the people who will play this game, have a pre-purchase or a pre-order copy. I didnt have any problem to play the game, but the bugs are still there: Lag, Broken Mail, Broken guild chat, Ability delay etc etc and etc. And im not even talking about the ¨Full server¨ problem, half of my guild and friends are playing in another server.

Please uninstall the game and quit playing then. haaha Talk about FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. Go visit your local homeless shelter and get some perspective.
He's paid for a product that provides a sevice which he is unable to access when it was specifically stated when that service would start and he's not happy. Perfectly valid reason to me but by all means keep those fingers in your ears humming a Jeremy Soule tune.
This doom and gloom thread was brought to you by Chin Up the new ultra high caffeine soft drink for gamers who just need that boost of happiness after a long forum session.

So what you are saying is that if the Hurricane Issac hits, and it ruins my internet connection then its also ANet's fault for not controlling the Weather. ......??
I know that analogy is kinda extreme.
But still, if you are so worry about the Three day head start, please ask for a refund.
As a player that was able to log in, played for a couple hours, this game is better than it is in BWE in my opinion only.
Therefore its worth the money that I spent to purchase it.
If its not and its all because you didn't get to utilize the full 72 hours without sleep then I said please go and get your refund. For many, we understand fully that if Anet need to take the server down to ensure that we get to play better and smoother, we as gamers wants ANet to take the server down.
If Anet need to restart all servers for 10 hours just to ensure we get to play without issues, then In my opinion I will want them to do it.
Please ANet do everything in your power , do what ever you need to do to ensure that when I get home I can log in and play, then please do it. Take the server down, make a new game if you have to. Just do it, because for that few hours that I have played, it was very fun.

No, you are delusional.
Companies want you to pre-order, it helps them to make sales estimations and get money up front. So they wrapped up benefits if you pre-order, such as pre-launch or headstart. It in no sense serves to TEST the servers, according to recent sales numbers, majority of sales come from pre-order programs, so in other words, this is the MAIN launch of the game.

Beside the point. They are advertising that you can PLAY three days before the launch, allowing you to get a leg up in an allegedly competetive PvP game. This is not happening and if they cannot guarentee that, because they cannot provide a service then they should not advertise as such.
And this is not a scheduled maintenance or whatever, this is Arena Net not being able to provide the service for their advertised head start. I have not been able to log in for the entire day and I am not getting any info about what is wrong and what the ETA is. Meanwhile they are sitting on my money without providing me jack shit for it.

Could say the same thing about you fanboys. All up in arms, defending a video game producer. You guys need to get some perspective, Arena Net does not give a crap about you so why are you so eager to defend them?
What we are defending is COMMON DECENCY and MATURITY. We understand the issues are frustrating, but give me a break. It's hard not to make fun of you guys when you are nerd raging over a video game. I mean, go look in the mirror and really consider what it is you are raging about. I'm not the least bit angry, I would just like to see some of you grow up.
Calling me a "fanboy" is hilarious too, considering I have been one of the most skeptical posters about this game. I'm not even usually a themepark fan at all. (see my sig). At any rate, your name calling and nerd rage are the real issue here. If you are comfortable with acting that way, then go for it.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.
