apparently people cant read my brand of english
the MOTD currently says "the grace period for pre-orders have ended"
it should say "the grace period for pre-orders HAS ended."
how did you folks posting replies get that backwards?
Oh, the irony, when grammar police can not police their own posts. If you're going to criticize other peoples' writing you might try learning how to use punctuation and proper capitalization.
Can people without an active subscription even see the launcher messages?
Yes, they can. You can patch and logon, but just not get to the character selection screen. I did this as a test before I entered my retail key after FINALLY getting the game in the mail from Amazon.
I despise this phrase more than anything. Living in London for 15 years after coming from the North was a nightmare, listening to illiterate demagogues using the phrase "off of" when they clearly meant to use the word "from"

"Has" Singular
"Have" Plural
It is has as the sentence does not go "The grace periods have ended". Therefore it is "The grace period has ended".

If it said "grace periods has ended" then you'd be right.
it currently says "the grace period have ended"
I'm saying it should say "the grace period HAS ended"
quote from the MOTD
"the grace period for pre-prder customers have ended"
Um that's sense.. not since son.
reading is fundemental
"since" we are being anal about all this, "sense" is a term used to describe smell, touch, taste, etc.....son...
the grace period's what have ended?
The grammar comprehension in this post is comical.
you want to add a possessive apostrophe to the sentence why?
This one is even more laughable then the 'sense/since' guy.

An so is writing. Going back and changing what you originally put then telling everyone to learn to read is asking for trouble.
I answered your post off of what you typed. I do not have access to the launcher from work, so was going off your word. Guess I've learned my lesson.
