Topic: Biggest headstart advantage of all time?

Why did headstart people get 40k starting EP in addition to being able to play the game 1 week earlier then everyone else?

Just heard about the game and I like it so far, but that headstart EP thing wtf...
Sure in 1 year nobody cares about it, but for now it's pretty stupid.

Eve like DEV corruption? Giving there alliance a headstart...

Knowledge from beta and 7 days headstart should have been more than enough.
Give everyone without an headstart account 20k additional EP imo.

To sum it up, headstart EP was stupid.

Not really.  It persuaded me to buy 3 accounts, so it was a good business decision on their part big_smile

We also got fuzzy red plush dice to hand on our dash board.  They are SOOO OP.

maybe you should have payed more attention and gotten in on beta

procrastination on your part does not constitute and emergency on everyone elses part.

the fact of the matter is that in a very short time, when your preferred build is pushing the 6's and 7's you will be very close to on par with the early access people who are facing wicked diminishing returns with their extensions.

same here, i think it was a fantastic decision from a business standpoint and something that should be emulated in future MMOs. With the competition for sub numbers now coupled with the growing F2P side of the industry a $60 client and $15 a month is not as attractive as it used to be.

It at least explains all these bots camping the tutorial spawn areas with insta locking and high firing speeds.

I've pre-ordered AoC and I did only get an ugly mount... I think this is the way to go.

I propose avatar pays restitution for the sins of other developers and all users that preordered AoC and received an ugly mount should receive 2 weeks of free EP!

I thought EP bonus was at least partially meant to give the market a head start as well.. if everyone did start on even terms the market would be worse off than it is now big_smile

U mad?

It was published on the Beta forums, it was announced on the client on the logon screen the last week of beta.  You just never bothered to check out the game before release, even though it was on multiple sites.  Not like it was a secret, dude, you just never looked...

Based on your agruement, someone joining a year from now could ask for EP to be removed from older members cause you only just heard about the game today....

By that token anyone who starts a month after any time based games launch shouldn't play as they cant compete.

See how *** you are now?

Weep in greater quantities, new players.

Helen Waite is the person in charge of giving extra EP for situations like this. If you want to receive the same amount of EP that the Early Access players have, you should go to Helen Waite.
