During the preorder process, i was so excited and nervous about losing connection or not buying it in time, i failed to notice the first little box where it said country: AFGHANISTAN by default. However, the second time it displayed this option, i correctly put United States.
So now my "mortal online account" details says (street address, city, zip, state), AFGHANISTAN. But my confirmation email says (street address, city, zip, state), United States. I sent a PM to one of the head PR guys of MO, and i sent them an email, and if i dont get a reply soon ill probably try to call, because i dont know whether or not im going to be getting the "full loot bag" at all. It definitely charged my master card, but it definitely is not going to find an Issaquah, Washington in Afghanistan, so i dont know whats going to happen :(

Bahahahahaha. You never know maybe the taliban will become a gaming clan and stop all this extremism violence. You could have saved many lives Vucar!
I on the other hand I managed to order 2 of the standard boxed one by accident despite not really being able to afford one.

It's probably ok. You should probably check anyway though.

I got a really sick feeling in my stomach when i read the country was Afghanistan lol. It was $100, i can't really just say "oops" and try again or forget about it. Apparently alot of other people had problems with the confusing address fields so maybe it will get enough attention for it be fixed.

You've got months so no worries I'm sure.
They definitely have done a lot better than AV did with their store... (aside from the 6 hour opening delay, or however long)

ill take the 6 hour delay. people all knew the time it was set for so not too hard to plan out an attack on the site, but they did better than i expected. I was looking for a DF failure BS account page. maybe its the lower traffice, but all around much more smooth than DF so far...

Im sure they will open up Edits in a day or two. They prob didnt want the servers to be over loaded

Following the STEPS, i noticed there is a line that mentions downloading and playing after paying. After searching for the client, i noticed it would not be up until 7/20 or so.
Frickin perfect as my sorry ass will be on a plane all day. Hope I have a ticket to the first show.

I think that's the first day of playtime... Surely, we can download the client before that time...
Right?

Americans may have to wait much longer than Europeans, to get their boxes delivered, because the travel distances are much greater. So what may happen, is that Europeans start playing, and then 1-2 days later, Americans start playing.
Fuck, I hope we don't have to play with dirty Afgani's : /
Anyways, GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING LOOT BAG.
I wanted that shit sooo bad : (

The box's aren't being deliverd till like september. You will be able to download the client. So the only people waiting will be people with dial-up.

Yes it is proving harder and harder to remain mad at these people for their over pricing. Damn likeable bastards. Atleast with AV they were cut and dry dickheads. I don't know where i stand with these people!
