Not to bash on them but still after 24 hours and a gm response none of my items were delivered...yes they had issues with characters on wrong servers etc I never had that ...I just did not get my items but I assume those thta got 2-3 pets got mine....now they are down for maintenance and say in the downtime thread they already corrected the issues but just need to take servers down too assure issues are corrected....well here is to hoping...
At this point in my opinion and from the blogs and etc the company for the west has posted it is a skeleton crew, A different publisher for us in the West should have been hired.

I haven't gotten my pre-order items either, and neither have any of my friends so far.

thats a wellknown fact, just to many uncertain variables..
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
Too bad some intern pointed the one channel with the same name (and what's up with that? why do all the channels have names and why the same channel name for all servers?) to the wrong servers.
IDK if they tested the item delivery system in CB2 since I was there on a free key, but they borked that one too with duplicate, triplicates and more for some and nothing for others.
But yeah, the only constant in MMO launches is that something will screw up...always. You can depend on it.

On a side note, I think Daum has missed on a few simple but major issues in localization. If anything, I only blame them for those poor decision when bringing the game to the west and making it B2P. There were a lot of changes that should have happened when the game was made B2P that never happened. One example, the extremely high cash shop prices...
If even a veteran game company can have an unforseen issue, it should be expected or at least no surprise a title at launch will.
I can see where they might not have tested the preorder item delivery mechanism as thoroughly as they should have as the focus was probably on other areas.
Like others said, probably a good idea to steer clear of lanch weeks. They don't sell you those perks just for your enjoyment, its to encourage you to put up with all the shenanigans.

'grinding for 6 hrs' (which to them equates to something they simply cant do over again after they remake a character) , not receiving vanity items, and maintenance are all end of the world scenarios.
But then again people that buy into early release are ironically the types that wont stick around too long anyway, but they are the ones who like to blitz all the 'content' as fast as they can so they can be the first to do something. Getting Early access just means first to stop playing in most (vast majority) of cases.
This can't even be considered a launch. It's pre-launch. Launch for the general public won't be until the 3rd. Something was bound to go wrong. Expecting everything to go smoothly and complaining a day or two into pre-launch is expressing a whole lot of naivete and inexperience on the part of any gamer. Don't be that person.
But it's the nature inherent to launching complicated and interactive code technology like an MMORPG into cyber space. To expect everything to go smoothly upon initial use of such intricate code and technology is being a bit of a prude. Exercise a little consideration and patience. It's all part of being an adult about these sorts of things.
I know! I was laughing for atleast 20 minutes.
I mean wow wooo ahhh haha...
What a prat response.
He's right (The poster) Daum is a joke in how they respond to players and community in general.
You'd think they'd have an account item delivery system working. Considering the game is hella old by mmorpg standards. (New to "us" isn't new).
But yeah hilarity has ensued. Christ on a nabisco.
Why would you wait,are they waiting for your money ....ever?
That is the whole idea behind a pre-order to get it BEFORE not after the fact.
Maintenance?WTF does that have to do with item changes,that kind of stuff happens on the fly ,you don't take servers down to have items show up.
To me it looks like another typical rush job,nothing organized.It's like a carpenter or mechanic showing up without his tools.
