Early Access and Full Launch Servers ??? (are people stupid?)

[Stockwerk 13]

i have seen this graphic:
https://throneandliberty.4fansites.de/bilder/news/throneandliberty-early-access-server-europa.jpg

there are early access servers, available on 26.09
and there will be F2P servers available on 01.10

So... What exactly is the point in buying the early access?
You do NOT get a headstart over free2play players, since they get their own servers, which are not available for early acess / founders from 26.09 to 1.10

The only thing u get is 5 cosmetics.

Why do people buy founders pack for this? the entire reason of "getting ahead of people" and paying 40 bucks for 5 days early is nullified.

I guess in the long run everyone will play in the F2P servers anyway, bc why should F2P players go on early acess servers LATER, when founders are ahead 5 days in progress?

Why can't people pay for cosmetics, since the lifeblood of the game is the purchase of cosmetics in the store. If people can pay for early access to TV shows, why can't they pay for early access to games?

YOU CAN TRANSFER TO THE MAIN SERVER LATER FOR FREE

People still arguing about the most unimportant part of this manipulative business modell.
Paying to play early is a psychological trick. Who cares if you play on the same server. Its not about playing side by side with f2p. You know you play before f2p and therefore most will not care that the servers are separated.

Beside that. If the servers were not separated. In the early access time you would not see any f2p either. So discussing this topic is just waste of time and brain cells to me. It is just the same as if the servers were merged, only after the early access is over you will MAYBE notice that new players will be absent. And when you already progressed in the game. You will not even notice them. So what is the point? Absolute useless.

Personally I don't understand this choice.
What's the point in paying for a pack of a free game to find it cut off from global servers?

the Excuse of limiting the impact of those who pay and of starting 5 days before does not hold...
They have already paid... so that's already absolute legitimacy in itself.
Or in this case, it was not necessary to include a launch day in advance in the packs.
But what idea did Amazon have?

Finally, locking people out because of this "advantage" for just 5 days is just stupid:
Because for example:
If I bought a pack that allows me to launch the game on the 26th, but I play less long or less intensely than a free to play player from October 1st, it is me who will have a disadvantage.
And yet I'm not going to complain under the pretext of being less present or investing less than someone else.
But despite everything, it's me who will be blocked on Early servers.

In short, this has no effect because it is designed for people who rush the game in less than 5 days... And in fact an overall value judgment without taking into account the freedom to play at the pace you want.

Once again, if this Early Access thing was a problem of balance, then why not simply remove the 5 days in advance to put everyone on an equal footing to start on October 1st. Paid pack, like those who just want to play F2P.

Who are the people responsible for this nonsense at Amazon?

[Badem]

Turns out I am stupid, I did see it says free but when going to store page showed early access so stupidly thought it was a mistake, like look of game bought it, only to find can't actually refund it because of the Early Access DLC....

Look, i have been bored for the past 3 weeks, and i really want to play mmo games, that i haven't play already. I'm so bored and really wanted to play any mmo in fact i started/tried to play Wizard101(installer), Pirate101(installer), and Champions Online, and DC Universe Online (Dc universe online is goated tbh) Guild Wars 2(installer), Never Winter, and Eve Online. Just to get that mmo feeling and excitement, and to try to full-fill my boredom. I also have no patience so i Pre-ordered because i got money to burn.

Paying for a f2p game that might not even survive a month is kinda crazy. You don't even gain an advantage over anyone since by the time you can transfer to f2p servers people would have caught up.

[RedruM]

if you don't have money, stop talking about it... usually the ones who complain are the ones who "envy others"... people don't care if they have advantage or not. .. people are bored and have money and want to play early *because of boring times*), not in 6 days.

u can't transfer from EA servers to non ea server

I had the week off and it's supposed to rain the next few days so might as well grab some EA and have something to do. And I wanted that funky purple demon lion thing . I think it's nice that they separated the EA servers from the normal ones so the people starting 10/1 get the same launch experience. Even if this game only lasts a month as some say that's still a month of entertainment. Heck some games only have a few hours of playtime and cost far more.

Seriously, reading is hard....

We will offer limited-time free transfers to all players from September 26 through October 17.
Early Access Servers will eventually have their transfer restriction lifted.

Early Access and Launch Server Transfer Details
At the full launch on October 1 we will TEMPORARILY restrict characters from transferring off of Early Access Servers to Launch Servers. Players on Full Launch Servers can transfer (subject to space availability) to either Early Access or other Full Launch Servers without restrictions. We plan to remove the ‘early access’ tags and let players apply to transfer from Early Access to Full Launch Servers when the time is right. Our team will work to determine the optimal time based on player feedback and data.

My guess is the timing will be between 9/26 - 10/17, is when they will lift the restriction of transferring from EA server to Launch servers...come on folks...READ!
