Should I buy a founder's pack or wait for launch?
I am currently very keen to play this game. I have only played it for a bit during one of the beta events and I really liked it. I was thinking of maybe buying the silver pack so I can start playing now but is it worth it? I am not quite sure if the stuff that you get in the pack are worth £37 ($60?). Bare in mind I will definitely want to be a subscriber.
So basically are the stuff in the silver pack worth the price or am I going to be paying quite a bit of a premium for my impatience?

I was going to post some snippy statement like "Buy now; Hell buy it twice. Instead of waiting the 4 days, do as the "have to have it now" bunch would, Buy Now-Now-Now!"
then i realized; it's the beginning of the weekend (assuming that you have it off), and if you really like it AND get perks, why not. In retrospect, you're actually in a tough spot. Prime playing time/Perks vs. waiting... I don't think I could resist.

If you want to play this game 'properly', you need to subscribe anyway.. you also need to RUSH for the housing plots (which you can't get without subscribing) before they are all gone and then sold for stupidly high prices at endgame.
Get the founders pack right now if you know you already like it and plan on playing seriously.
I bought the founders pack when it first came out and I have to be honest I have uninstalled the game and wont ever bother logging in again it's nothing special and imo it's way to grindy and not a sand box game at all. In fact I had very little fun playing this game at all and it's made me realise not to waste money on founders packs ever again as I'm only going to be disappointed like I was with this game.
So don't waste your money and wait for it to open up in a few days time!

AA is the best experience i had in last 10y or so, but that me.
Imo the silver pack is a bad business, the gold one seems a good one if you are hable to spend that money.
But honest? If you wait until here, just wait more 3 days.
Founders packs are a waste of money in any MMO. 4 days headstart is not worth it, usually they just play through bugs, lag and problems and the ones that start 4 days later have a smoother start anyway.
Its a free to play game, play free... only impatient people buy those things and always regret them, especially in this game since it requires them to keep paying to maintain patron and all the benefits.
GAME TIL YOU DIE!!!!
Just like in RL each one of us give importance to diferent things, for you seems the movement of a npc lips is important in a mmorpg and define if the game worth play or not. Fair enouph.
for others all that is a minor feature and the most important is the community deep that a game deliver.
You realise it would look like one of those old bruce lee kung fu movies where the actors lips are moving out of synch because they are really speaking Chinese with English voice over.
My guild had a pretty big following and I wanted to try it out. Should I spend $50 instead of waiting. No. I never listen to reason though so I bit the bullet.
After filling in my credit information I get sent to an authentication code screen but I never get the emails with the code. Resent a few times and still no go.
I'd hold off at this point if I were you. I did not get an invoice email but I don't know if Trion does that, so at this point I have no idea if I was charged heh.
