WAR (Warhammer Online)

This has been discussed but I think its an issue that should warrant attention from Mythic.

So I am a fan of war and have been one of the many players who have been leveling in the past week.  I pre-ordered the collector's edition the day it was announced.  I received my access to close beta, my preview weekend, my headstart, and have yet to receive my in game items along with unique character model.  However, what I am really angry about is the small amount of time for the grace period.  Warhammer went live on the 18th, my pre-order did not ship till the 20th and is expected to arrive till the 26th.  Today is the 22nd and the grace period for those that preorder the standard edition or collector's edition ended today, meaning if you do not have the cd key your account is frozen.  Mythic...tsk tsk tsk.  You couldn't wait 2-3 weeks to end the grace period?  A simple push back would have fixed the hundreds of complaints on warhammeralliance.  I hope they learn from this. I do realize that it is only an extra 4 days of waiting IF my shipment is on time, but the problem is that the RIGHT way to handle this certain feature is so simple and obvious.  Items can sometimes take up to 2 weeks to ship.  Why not take that into account when deciding the time for the grace period?  Again, I hope mythic learns from this.

Guess you should of ordered from Amazon or atleast chosen the overnight shipping.  I got my pre order the Day of Release from Amazon.

I'd be blaming the person I bought the CE from not the company.  They're not responsible for what shipping you choose or how the store plans to ship it out. 

when i preorder from gogamer i did not see the overnight shipping

How did your game ship on the 20th?  That was Saturday, noone ships on Saturday.

this is useless info but i cant help but vent it out since i need my warCrack

I do not know how it shipped on the 20th, but that is what it said on amazon.com and also in an email I received from amazon.

But the point is, the grace period should have been extended. 

i totaly agree the avg days for shipping is 5 days, 18th+5 days = 23rd should have been extended at least till tomm.

Hey I heard that the EA store is giving out "short-term" CD keys to people that preordered from them that can be used up to a month for those whose copy of the game is taking longer then expected to arrive, atleast that is what a guildy told me.  You might want to check that out.  Unfortunately ONLY the EA store is doing this.

You pretty much have to be able to suck dick over the phone to get one I have heard of quite a few people getting them but I have waited for about 3 hours now talked to 3 people and they wouldn't give me one of the keys
