Yeah, you didn't take it back. It's an MMO. Its a computer game, period. Stores don't take them back anymore. Also, what exactly is this thread for? More unconstructive b.s.? This needs to be locked.
Why do people always say this....
You CAN take a pc game back to a store. There have been about 6 threads on this single topic several times in the last few months here on MMORPG. It has been proven with out a shadow of a doubt that you CAN take pc games back to the store and get full cash refunds.
Some of these means may be dis-honest at times, but it is possible to do so.
If the guy says he took his game back, he more than likely did. You can't prove he didn't so do not call him a liar.
Here's the facts, technically no pc software is supposed to be retrunable. Every time someone takes software back to a store and is able to return it, the store is breaking the law.
Some stores, like my local Gamestop, will NOT take software back, under any circumstances unless it is to exchange it for a like item. Which is odd because there's another gamestop down the road that takes returns like Wal-Mart. Which brings me to another point, the Wal-Mart closest to me won't take software returns of any kind, regardless of whether it's for like items and if you bitch about it they'll have security escort you out. While another Wal-Mart a little further away will take anything back, even a pair of shoes that's 6 months old, smells like warmed over tuna as long as you give them even a retarded excuse.
Technically, software is NOT returnable once opened (also depending on wording, even if its not opened its not returnable) unless exchanged for a like item.
So folks that insist that it's not returnable may live in an area where their retailers actually obey the law.
I just wonder, what will those shops do after taking your return? They definitely cannot return it to the publisher. They cannot resell it since the code is already used. They won't possibly eat the money themselves. This sound very funny.
Yeah yeah everybody loves WAR atm. This is the same process of events as every other game has gone through. "OMG, a new game. If you dont love it theres something wrong with you" 6 months later when the newness wears off and the typical fanboi starts to look at the game objectively: "Piss, moan, bitch, complain, /close account" LoL AoC didnt even take 6 months.
will actually be nice when the fanbois leave or become quiet, way too much flaming from them now

{snip} We will have to wait and see what will come of WAR. But posts like yours, proves me that WAR did an excellent release (even with the GOA Gate, the Grace Period Gate, etc). I /bow to Mythic for doing an excellent job.
War had a good release.... errr OK, but only because it is an old outdated game at launch.
True, it didn't have many issues that prevented people from logging in, but it is an ancient level of game design. A game with this low level of depth should be about perfected at this point. I would hope that, near the end of the first decade in the 21st century, a company could put out game that has the graphics, sound and character depth of a game from the 1990's.
There isn't anything ground breaking here, just old Diablo, mixed with some WoWesk characters and tossed in to tiny arenas that mythic calls 'servers'.
ok WiccanCircle we get it you think its a nintendo game with a WOW theme how many threads will you post the same shit. We also understand that you dont like it and its not the game for you. All you are saying is that I want a game with graphics as I have heard no complaints about anything else from you other than the typical " I want my sandbox MMO " stuff.
For as much time as you spend on these forums surely you realized in your travels that WAR was not a sandbox game but you bought it anyway. Are you just pissed off at yourself for buying a game you knew you wouldnt like and taking it out on everyone else? I know I dont like sandbox games myself but what sense would it make for me to buy EVE anyway then go to the forums and complain about it?
Maybe you are just looking for a friend that feels the same way as you or something. Either way if there is no action in the darkfall forums make some. No need to keep copy / pasting the same shit in every WAR post. Maybe you can just tell us where the Nintendo touched you if it will make you feel better. Is Blizzard your baby's daddy?
Yawn Blah, you bore me.
But I will post as I please. I have been around these forum and many others long long long before you even knew what MMORPGs were. And your post count show that blather on about nothing quite a bit for a newbie.
Besides, a few people have to mention that this game isn't very good to cover over the slurping sound that all you little children are making.
I knew quite well what this game was and even more so what it wasn't. I was good, I followed the NDA, even stayed away from the forum so that I wouldn't be tempted to mention that this game is really poorly done.
Oh, and as for Dakrfall... I have always, and still will go on record saying that it is vaporware. Beta? Hardly. It is the Piltdown Man of computer toys. It is a hoax - It doesn't exist.
I don't see why you think the game is poorly done? If you are a PvP:er WAR is THE game out there. It takes the ease of access from Guild Wars and adds to the hectic PvP experience with a much more tactical style of play. As for PvE, the game is not much, but then again, it was not meant to be.
There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed by the developers, but surely WAR is not destined for the same cesspool as AoC.

Not true, I was in closed beta since the beginning, for both WAR and AoC and I hated AoC after the first month. My whole guild was in both betas, and we pretty much share the same sentiments. While WAR still has ways to go to become a truly great game, more than the foundations are in place at launch, very much unlike AoC or many of the other recent releases.
Sure AoC had potential, but let's put it this way, WAR at the moment is a rough diamond, AoC at releases as just an other rock in the mineshaft.
Have you actually thought that YOU might be wrong? of course not, that would be beyond your "mental capacity". Of course I could be wrong, 6 months from now theres a possibilty that no current fanboi will close his WAR account. Wait, ok no Im not wrong. You keep talking (or should I say FOAMING) about the game being bad, Oh really? Where did I keep saying the game was bad? Yeah ... I never said that. If you want to have a discussion, start a discussion. Because this thread is anything but. Ok lets discuss how there are WAR fanbois, they are in force, and many of them will gripe and complain about the game that they are so defensive about right now.
All of this is REALLY funny...the amount of players running to the defence of the game is great. But your all wrong. Most of you raved about AoC and after a few months you started Moaning about it. This will happen with WAR. There are already problems most of you can't see even when there stareing you right in the face. WAR will die, theres no doubt in that...it's just how long it will take. WoW's WotLK and Stargate Worlds are just around the corner and i think many will go to them. WHY you ask...??? Because theres a total inbalence in sides, theres no chat and the game is unsociable. I have 2 lev 20+ characters and even i'm getting pissed off with there being NO RvR or PvP on the servers i've played on because No One on the order side wants to play against 10 Tanks in PvP. Order needs a decent tank and the sides need to be balenced. The game is very good...but the problems are going to kill it...and theres no one of you out there who can dispute that....well...unless your playing a Distruction character and enjoy your easy wins all the time. And the only ones who would enjoy No Compition are those who had there ass handed to them on WoW's PvP and feel like it's there turn to be on top. So stop talking out of your ass and admit that Mythic got some thing's wrong that they need to deal with...or in 3 or 4 months time most of you will be back moaning how this game is flawed.
As long as there's people appreciating the taste of crap there's gonna be people appreciating mmo's like this.
It's all about low standards... if you're fine with effortless fun for kids, war is there just for you
It works just like Oblivion.. you shouldn't waste time explaining someone why the game is universally poor you should just ask whether he likes taste of garbage.

Was about to agree untill you mentioned Elder Scrolls. Those are excellent rpg's. And Oblivion is no exception. It just took a different aproach/direction, wich people disliked I guess. But from a Artist's perspective, it has a big value.

Same thing happened when toilet paper was invented, everyone loved it at first now they all bitch about it 1 ply - 2 ply even 3 ply. But no matter what I still use it.

I never really played thru any other TES, mate.. Oblivion is just void of things to do other than roaming thru expty dead scenarios and kill identical things. But that's not the point, even tho the game is objectively poor, you will enjoy it if all you want is good graphics and running thru lakes and woods... so it's just about how the player is a graphics whore.
The worst game ever, not just RPG.
And WAR has similar gaming philosophy... if all you will ever ask off a mmo is to plunge yourself on your soft chair for that sweet hour after a day at the desk, log in, chat with your clan buddies, run thru grind quests, do scenarios, conquer a flag and a keep then WAR (and pretty much ANY pvp online game) is right for you, with the further advantage of WAR being the current most fashionable thing to do that will make you feel like in the center of the talk (don't underestimate this factor as Mythic doesn't).
It's not so easy to put together an environment for these kind of players, tho... You need detailed kinda slick graphics, easy and friendly controls, mechanics you're already familiar with. It's a dirty business, all in all.
This game was hyped from the beginning. With people getting sick of Wow they were looking for a new game to play. Warhammer has looked AMAZING for the past year when it's been in closed beta. Funny thing is I never saw screen shots during closed beta. I was going off of that video. Oh, the cinematic videos. Don't they always look AMAZING.
I really enjoy WAR but I can't agree with the OP anymore. I do think starting a thread like this will just get flames. I stopped reading after page 2, lol. I think it truly just depends on what happens in the next 6 months. How they go about fixes and bugs. How they go about fixing their graphic issues that people oh so hate at the moment. Yes, there are graphic problems in the game. However, that's just one of the many flaws in the game right now. Gameplay is what's keeping this game alive at the moment and the hype it received during closed beta.
Mythic did very well to promote their game. Wow did they ever. Not only did they give these bonuses during pre-order but they've hyped this game from the beginning and done everything right. 500,000 subscriptions from pre-orders etc...? wow...it's because people wanted something new. When they logged in, they saw something similar to wow but a pvp version. It's only got little similarity to wow. I think Warhammer is a lot of fun and I think I will resubscribe next month, but after that who knows. It'll probably be repeating bs by that time. PVP 24/7. Know what though, I play on a Good Vs Evil server on Lineage 2 and I usually throw in 2 hours a day on it. I've been playing it since January this year....so I mean pvp never gets tiring. So I don't know how Warhammer will go to be honest. I do know if they don't fix some things they'll lose alot of subscriptions.
The real test will come after this month. Who re-subscribes and who doesn't. 500,000 subscribers on the free month doesn't mean alot. True test will be next month. I just wonder how long Warhammer will last for me before I say screw this and just quit. I dunno so far in open beta and retail it's been nothing but fun. But we'll see!

When will thinking that your opinion is the only one stop being cool? I'm getting really bored of reading the same thread in the forum for every single game ever made.
Honestly, no one cares, enjoy what you like, and don't enjoy what you don't but seriously shut up about it already.
The sleeper awakes...and rides his dirtbike to the mall.

Nice. So what are forums for if we shut up? just technical problems and pc requirements? And alternately fanboying with persons like you and sucking each other's dick ?

You're dismissing the game because its visually appealing?
From a gameplay perspective, it may lack a bit of the RP elements. But I always considered Oblivion a immersive action adventure game. And for that, its serves its purpose. It entertains. Yes from a objective standpoint, I can criticize one of todays best RPG's The Witcher to death too, but I simply prefer not to, and instead just apreciate the beauty the game offers.
Bethesda hired a very respected composer for the game. The music is breathtaking, its not just the visuals. I just think you have unrealistic expectations. Because the game is absolutely not poor. It has alot of entertainment value. You are just too blind to see that.

AOC took zero time, i stopped playing beta after one month. game sucked from ground up. WAR on the other hand is different. i am going all the way to 40 for sure. i enjoy it, have a great guild and friends to play with.
God forbid some of us who love MMO's actually fall in love with this game and want to discuss it. I pity you. No, really.
that doesn't make any sense, if 3 persons already agree the game's good they'll never "discuss" the posssibility of being bad, they'll just gloat and caper and sing together its praise. You need an opposite opinion for a discussion/debate.

It hasnt even been a month and people are already complaining (my self included) about the level grind fest post level 22 (Tier 3+), So basically WAR will be a gap filer untill WoTLK comes out, or DF (if that ever happens).

ITS NOT OUR FAULT YOU RUSHED LEVELING YOUR CHARACTER GENIOUS. people are still in tier 1 and 2. soon tier 3 will be heavily populated. i still had a warband of 12 today doing a PQ in tier 3 early this morning. maybe you are on a low server. also get into a guild. we always have at least 40 people playing at any given time of the day who is up for whatever.

I can't believe what i'm reading. Where was Oblivion entertaining? I don't mind about the lack of RP elements, I don't even believe in genres, tbh. Oblivion was boring and dull from the point of view of simple arcade action as well... I'm playing "Project eden", a pretty poor action game, but it still has more interesting mechanics than OB. OB simp[y offered nothing more than taking a bunch of quests that revolved solely on killing identical critters in an identical manner in identical caves. If you picture it without its graphics you'll see there's just NO gameplay.
Please I beg you, tell me WHERE exactly you found OB entertaining...

Honestly I fail to see how PQ's are anywhere near fun or different. They're just like the elite quests in WoW, just you join the group after you begin bashing X number of bears. It's too superficial a change to be considered innovation... it works in advertising and boosting the hype, as Barnett did, and He's a hype genius.
Truly I deem WAR success (if it's real) to be just a masterpiece of marketing skills.

Was about to agree untill you mentioned Elder Scrolls. Those are excellent rpg's. And Oblivion is no exception. It just took a different aproach/direction, wich people disliked I guess. But from a Artist's perspective, it has a big value.
WAR is fun, now. It will get old.
I love my wife, she's pretty good in bed, but it gets old...you feel what I'm saying....It's a video game, not nirvana.
Enjoy it untill the next good/fun game comes out, then play that one, till it gets old....rinse repeat!
qq, can i have your stuff, etc.....
Same thing happened when toilet paper was invented, everyone loved it at first now they all bitch about it 1 ply - 2 ply even 3 ply. But no matter what I still use it.

Know what though, I play on a Good Vs Evil server on Lineage 2 and I usually throw in 2 hours a day on it. I've been playing it since January this year....so I mean pvp never gets tiring. So I don't know how Warhammer will go to be honest. I do know if they don't fix some things they'll lose alot of subscriptions.
The real test will come after this month. Who re-subscribes and who doesn't. 500,000 subscribers on the free month doesn't mean alot. True test will be next month. I just wonder how long Warhammer will last for me before I say screw this and just quit. I dunno so far in open beta and retail it's been nothing but fun. But we'll see!
Same thing happened when toilet paper was invented, everyone loved it at first now they all bitch about it 1 ply - 2 ply even 3 ply. But no matter what I still use it.
LOL.
Yaaaawwwwwnnnnn...
When will thinking that your opinion is the only one stop being cool? I'm getting really bored of reading the same thread in the forum for every single game ever made.
Honestly, no one cares, enjoy what you like, and don't enjoy what you don't but seriously shut up about it already.
The sleeper awakes...and rides his dirtbike to the mall.
Nice. So what are forums for if we shut up? just technical problems and pc requirements? And alternately fanboying with persons like you and sucking each other's dick ?

God forbid some of us who love MMO's actually fall in love with this game and want to discuss it. I pity you. No, really.
Was about to agree untill you mentioned Elder Scrolls. Those are excellent rpg's. And Oblivion is no exception. It just took a different aproach/direction, wich people disliked I guess. But from a Artist's perspective, it has a big value.
I never really played thru any other TES, mate.. Oblivion is just void of things to do other than roaming thru expty dead scenarios and kill identical things. But that's not the point, even tho the game is objectively poor, you will enjoy it if all you want is good graphics and running thru lakes and woods... so it's just about how the player is a graphics whore.
The worst game ever, not just RPG.
You're dismissing the game because its visually appealing?
From a gameplay perspective, it may lack a bit of the RP elements. But I always considered Oblivion a immersive action adventure game. And for that, its serves its purpose. It entertains. Yes from a objective standpoint, I can criticize one of todays best RPG's The Witcher to death too, but I simply prefer not to, and instead just apreciate the beauty the game offers.
Bethesda hired a very respected composer for the game. The music is breathtaking, its not just the visuals. I just think you have unrealistic expectations. Because the game is absolutely not poor. It has alot of entertainment value. You are just too blind to see that.
AOC took zero time, i stopped playing beta after one month. game sucked from ground up. WAR on the other hand is different. i am going all the way to 40 for sure. i enjoy it, have a great guild and friends to play with.
that doesn't make any sense, if 3 persons already agree the game's good they'll never "discuss" the posssibility of being bad, they'll just gloat and caper and sing together its praise. You need an opposite opinion for a discussion/debate.

It hasnt even been a month and people are already complaining (my self included) about the level grind fest post level 22 (Tier 3+), So basically WAR will be a gap filer untill WoTLK comes out, or DF (if that ever happens).

ITS NOT OUR FAULT YOU RUSHED LEVELING YOUR CHARACTER GENIOUS. people are still in tier 1 and 2. soon tier 3 will be heavily populated. i still had a warband of 12 today doing a PQ in tier 3 early this morning. maybe you are on a low server. also get into a guild. we always have at least 40 people playing at any given time of the day who is up for whatever.
I can't believe what i'm reading. Where was Oblivion entertaining? I don't mind about the lack of RP elements, I don't even believe in genres, tbh. Oblivion was boring and dull from the point of view of simple arcade action as well... I'm playing "Project eden", a pretty poor action game, but it still has more interesting mechanics than OB. OB simp[y offered nothing more than taking a bunch of quests that revolved solely on killing identical critters in an identical manner in identical caves. If you picture it without its graphics you'll see there's just NO gameplay.
Please I beg you, tell me WHERE exactly you found OB entertaining...

Honestly I fail to see how PQ's are anywhere near fun or different. They're just like the elite quests in WoW, just you join the group after you begin bashing X number of bears. It's too superficial a change to be considered innovation... it works in advertising and boosting the hype, as Barnett did, and He's a hype genius.
Truly I deem WAR success (if it's real) to be just a masterpiece of marketing skills.
