Please rename your foolish keys.

I've never seen so much crying in my life, and over a video game of all things. Starting on the 7th this site has been a complete cryfest with ignorant people complaining about the same things, asking the same stupid questions that have alraedy been addressed repeatedly. FLS should purge the forum yet again to clear all the garbage out from the first two weeks. Every hiccup in release and every second of downtime has been met with a torrent of griping. People were actually *****ing when FLS took the game offline to prep it for launch day. Now people are moaning because they haven't gotten their launch keys yet, as if this is FLS's problem You poor, poor babies aren't going to be able to play for a few days, oh god the humanity. Maybe I should write FLS a whiney post because I'm in the process of moving and don't have internet yet at my new house. I haven't been able to play for a week, FLS DO SOMETHING or I'm going to send this game back!!! GET A LIFE! Why don't you use the downtime between preboarding and getting the box in the mail to reflect on your pathetic lives. Thats unlikely though, you'll probably go back to playing WOW until you get the code in your grubby little hands, assuming you don't cry in a river of tears first.

or even better yet you could spend the next 20 minutes of the lfe you have to whine about whiners...good plan. very productive

Skypig, despite the name I am sure you are not such a swine as you try to be..
I can agree with you that there is a cry festival in this forum about things such as downtime due to patching or other things such as maintenace. (you know they sometimes has to clean the dust under the servers!!)
But what I don´t understand is your attack upon a group of people that actually has been ripped off on money in some sort of semi legal act done by SOE. I would be glad to see IF you can find any other business out there in the world who can do such a big stunt on it´s customers as these guys have done? I mean if I preorder a car, that means I am sure to have that car before the car dealerships get the car to place in the windows right? If I preordered a new Lexus car they wouldn´t hand me the keys to the trunk and then hold on to the ignition keys until a week later after the release of the car, especially not when I paid fully for the car during my preorder.
When I placed my order with the retail store it gave no hints about not being able to play after launch. I bought the game because I thought "Hey, that´s pretty sweet on customers to let them start playing in a sort of finished BETA version of the game a bit before launch." It seems that store had no idea of that either, they received their games on the 21st and sent them on the 21st.. That means postage and handling up to 3-4 working days.. Unacceptable.. Totally.. This is a pure and fine, Pardon my french.. Clusterfu*k done by SOE. And I keep seeing other PC gaming publishers pulling similiar stunts, IT is the lack of moral and ethics within this community that makes these things happen! Why do we accept it? Because I do not have the nor the energy to try to pull a case on them, and what would I possibly accomplish? Nothing, they would run me over and wheels on the bus keeps going round and round.
