Seriously, you're going to be giving people "incentives" for subbing to your game from the VERY FIRST month? Today it's a title, tomorrow a social item, next month a mount etc etc etc.

This is ridiculous, usually companies have the decency to wait till the first year anniversary or when they go f2p before starting with this sort of things.

Besides, this makes no sense whatsoever. Everyone who bought the game and played the 30 boxed days should be a "founder" and have the title whenever he comes back to the game. The game lacks features in a MAJOR way, and it's your fault, cause you say " they aren't priorities", and loads of people aren't going to sub even a single month until you get to work on what's really important. That doesn't mean said people weren't there on launch day when the game started, but no, if they don't pay you at least one month it's as if they were never there. Pathetic.

This is disgusting, having this sort of things at the very first subscription cycle is atrocious, and if it's any indicator of the direction you're taking to make money, it makes me want to come back and pay you even less even if you'll eventually add all the features the game is currently missing.

Yes, I am sure he/she is directly involved in working on the patches.

Why do people think companies move like a swarm?
Different facets have different functions.
And all perform them independently from one another.

Thanx for rewarding the faithful.

LOL! How lame!

If I get given this I wont be using it. Titles for doing something epic in game are cool. Titles that say Look I am one of the biggest Fanboy's around aren't.

I literally do not believe the amount of stupidity in this thread.
Really, it has about 5 pages with people either saying thanks or mysteriously complaining about something i cannot see.
I say thanks by the way. Nice note. Though I would have given the title only to preorders. But that's just me.

Shame on you.

Do what FFXIV did, switch your game from paid to F2P until it's out of this beta.

Your ex employee that has write this in 2010 was right: "They are most proud of the sound. No seriously. Something like a 20Gig installation, and most of it is voiceover work. That's the best they have. The rest of the game is a joke. EA knows it and so does George Lucas, they're panicking, and so most of Mythic has already been cannibalized to work in Austin on it because they can't keep pushing back launch."

It should be a different title for a players that will finance this fiasco and it surly wouldn`t be FOUNDER title.
Well, that was a post dated 2010, almost 2 years from now, so I guess (hope) things have changed.
Unfortunately, the blog doesn't exist anymore so I can't figure out how the story ended.

OT: I don't know why everyone is complaining. It's an MMO. It just launched, so it's normal it's got bugs. FFXIV, Age of Conan and Warhammer Online were bad examples, but I guess (hope) they can learn from other people's mistakes.
About the title/badge... nothing to say, this is an item I could live without, except if it grants players some REAL advantages in-game in the future (as per the CE owners).

This is pretty cheap BW, it's not enough to pay 60$ for the title you want another 15$?

I bet the title reads <Idiot>
I quit the game not the forums!

yay a title! that makes my game experience so much better now!

oh dear, wait till i tell all the friends the reason to sub now!

are you f... kidding me?

back to trying to hit a person in end game of mmo with abilities to hit it once the server decides that i've been good..

and not to mention for example 6 relics out of 40 champ bags and thats about it... (yeah.. in a row.. no other epics)...

this game is perfect!

This is what i so honestly feel
