So dont act now as a little girl who got her ass touched
Be my guest and link it, I have never said MO is a scam because they wont deliver something (would be moronic to pay the 500k or so for the Unreal license and not deliver anything) but rather in the way it has been promoted.
They released a promotional trailer that showed some awesome gfx and animations, implying that it was in game fottage, and yet when the beta was released it was quite evident that their promotional trailer was something completely different from the actual game.
Also they mentioned Summer 2009 as release date on ther web page. Then when the pre-orders was sold it was changed to Q3 2009, implying that you would pre-order a game that will soon be released and then also claimed that the boxes would ship Q3 2009, regardless of if the game was released or not, it wasnt.
Now we are at Q1 2010 and game is still not released. At the very least they should then accept all the refund requests because of this delay but they didnt which is actually against swedish (and I live in Sweden so I would know).
So in many ways I would say this game is a scam and far from a game of standard MMORPG release quality, and I said that inspite of the bad state that MMORPGs are released because if MO was released today, or even next week, it is in alot worse state than even Darkfall was.
But I have never said that they wont ever release it so dont presume that I have. Also I have not claimed that what is in the box now is something else that was promised. That is another of your constructs.
making a big metal box, with room for a art booklet and game manual (as you can see in pic) and room for 2 discs. - Costs a bunch of money and thats how you "justify" charging your customers 55 euros ($80 bucks in america)....
On top of that you admit your company is very low on budget and time to release.
so for 80 bucks you send them
A metal box with a small 4gb ALPHA client that they started making months ago.
"But its not their fault! omg mass producing metal boxes cost a lot of money blah blah blah" - okay then they coulda made a better business decision - if they couldnt afford to make them then dont...people would be much happier for 80 bucks getting a full client, and a manual.
You weren't really paying for the box, you were paying for early access to the game.
Who gives a fuck about the box? And a Manual... are you kidding? What are you going to do with it? nobody reads manuals to online games, especially since they're dated by the time you get into the game anyway.
I agree, MO is far from ready to be released... And the game looks somewhat terrible, but who cares about a dumb box... If you wanna tear apart the game, tear apart the game, but the box is fine how it is. I think a lot of you just get off on complaining about things.
and if you're comparing which box is better thats sad... "HEY MO MAY BE A BAD GAME BUT AT LEAST THE BOX IS METAL"
I had to acknowledge this post as it was one of the better burns I've seen on these forums lol.
Sickan tried to imply DFO didn't have a boxed version and unlike MO it's actually on store shelve's lol. That was just classic lol.
I agree this really was a first class burn. Well done jango. Put a big smile on my face

When I get that box its just going to sit as a stark reminder of how I wasted $70 /=
LOL... If I did order a box, don't think I'd tell anyone.
lol, my thoughts exactly. I was stupid enough to waste 55 euros on preorder. But! To send customers a box with no manual? Btw, i still have not received that box as of today. It would serve me as a great reminder of my stupidity. mea culpa

No my friend I know they are in stores. I tried to imply that they are made of plastic/paper - in comparison to the metal box we were discussing. If you read the thread, we/I were comparing boxes, not whether they were in stores or not. Please read before post!

I don't exactly understand how this is really insulting that darkfall has their game in stores and MO doesnt, its just not possible for MO to be in store, ESRB wouldn't allow it more than likely.

ESRB wouldn't what?????? ROFLMAO, do you even know anything about the ESRB and their impotent powers?? Clue 1: you have to submit your product to them for review and rating only if you want to. Clue 2, they have no control over what gets released. Clue 3, they don't even exist in the rest of the world.
BTW boxed DnF is only available in Greece so it is still effectively not available.

Mine arrived today. Judging from the customs sticker on it, it was shipped on Jan 12th 2010.
Because it is really cold here the temperature showed up a nasty looking DVD on the read side. Finger prints and scratches. Have not used yet.
But now I don't feel so much of a dick for ordering.
