$60 to buy this game in the early beta weekends, $50 worth of Zen, and I'm stuck waiting ten minutes to watch my queue go from 7998 to 7888? Seriously? I BOUGHT this game at a standard retail value. What is this ****?

    Getting in front of the queue is an additional $199 cost. Working as intended. Enjoy the 7000 freeloaders in front of you.

    Exactly.. Pissed I spent money on this <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Perfect World you only get to screw people over once, next time you do launch a game you will see a lot of people not willing to pay a dime.

    Utterly ridiculous that paying customers get treated the same as free-to-players.

    No more money from me.

    It's release day, there are always queues, but this Free to Play model makes it worse.

    Haha. Right? What idiots would spend $200 on this game... and you know they are just shoving more cash into it for bags and its $1,25 to ope na purple chest... This guy is already probably $300 or $400 into the game and its been out 1 day.

    All MMOs have terrible launches

    1. this is BETA-the game still isnt complete
    2. they are addressing the issues, communicating with players which is more than most companies have done in this situation
    3. there is literally no barrier to entry on this game, its free, so games like sim city that cost $60 dont work on actual release

    Lol, "Freeloaders"?

    It's a free to play game if you haven't heard... Why do you feel the need to be treated superior just because you chose to spend $60 on the Guardian pack.

    Did you not already get everything that was promised in the Guardian Pack: http://nw.perfectworld.com/founderspack/guardian? I'm sure you did.

    Did it say in the Guardian pack that you'll be receiving Queue priority? No

    Then why are you so upset about waiting in the queue with those players who do not yet wish to spend money on this game? You already got the benefits that you paid $60 for...

    Just as an FYI, F2P games "Open Beta" is really a release. In Open beta now you spend money they no longer wipe etc. They just call it Open Beta.

    You sound a little bitter. Actually, the founders get packages that help us level, diamonds to buy for gear, vip access so we don't have to wait. I logged in, waited less then a minute and I was logged in. Thats a great investment. Not mention the mount and other perks.

    If it's such a great investment, i wonder why you guys keep saying how great it is to pay $200 for it.

    Waiting in Que is to be expect to an extent, my issue is, extra shards should have been prepared for this kind of influx. Waiting in que sucks but its part of a launch/open beta, waiting in Que behind 7k+ people on every shard is poor planning.

    more like a soft launch, i know there are no longer wipes, but still, its a safe way to admit they arent really quite done

    People keep provoking, mocking "why pay 200 for a game" then when we respond its with our answer, we're mocked for explaining why it is. Not trying convince you, simply explaining.

    The VIP access logging in alone, verus the 2 hour or more waiting period by itself is a great value.

    I'm simplying explaining and responding to why I think personally its a good buy. The VIP access logging in alone, verus the 2 hour or more waiting period by itself is a great value.

    Doesn't seem like that great of a value, in a couple of days it won't matter as everyone will be able to log in fine

    It must have been the laugh at the beginning of my statement that made it sound bitter. Having you as the butt of a joke isn't bitter, it's funny. In two beta weekends I got to 54. You need help leveling? The mount doesn't give you any actual advantage, and gear is standardized at the top tier so your diamond to buy gear to help you is worthless too.

    To breakdown your statement you paid $200 to log in. Also, you didn't deny what I said. So i'll just assume you are at least that deep in, probably more. Grats man!
