I preordered the game and look my forum join date. Thanks, you showed much appreciation till now.

Ah I see you need my money. You can keep your title. I will still play the game but I will play it because my friends are playing and I like their company.

... but please dont insult my intelligence with your "reward" one day until preorder sub expire.

Yeah, don't think "don't want to be obvious" is a very convincing argument that this is a desperate attempt
then I must ask you, why announce such a promotion one day before subs run out?
I quit the game not the forums!

Honestly? You're going to buy our subscriptions with a title (which is funny, because we are the ones giving you all the money). You don't think this looks shady at all? Especially right now, what with the crappy job you've done with 1.1...

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I was on the fence about resubbing.

This pushed me over.

J/K. It was actually Ohlen's arrogance that did it.

At a guess because it was ready to be announced today? Sure the timing is far from perfect, but I don't see how this title will encourage people to resubscribe if Bioware are as desperate as some people believe. Yes it might well persuade a very very few who were debating to continue for another month but if Bioware were really as desperate as the doomsayers claim then they'd want to convince more than that very small number.

Maybe you'll go back in the future, maybe you won't, but it helps at least.
It's not goodwill, it's the same marketing strategy used by the Franklin Mint and the makers of all products sold mainly at 4am. Whether that is a good or bad thing depends on your personal taste.

This definitely smacks of desperation. I can't say I didn't consider it, but at the end of the day social benefits like this don't mean much because there isn't very much of a social community in this game, no one to really show it off to or who really cares that you are a founder. I would have been more impressed with a tangible award like some gear or something.

Act now if you want a shiny "Founder" title!

But wait! There's more!

Oh, hang on. No, there's not.

meh where is my title for beta testing ... every one that buys the game gets a title but we who spent the time testing get told we can't have a title because it would promote elitism...

all I want is a simple little title that reads "I was a beta tester and am therefor better than you, Suck it n00b" is that so much to ask for?
"bibo ergo sum" ( I drink, therefore I am)

Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy other people to shoot at.
