That is utter crap, all that was needed to stop raiders stomping was equivalent gear earned through PVP, not a new stat. These stats do more harm than good.

Those queue are self-appointed. There are servers that do not have queues. If you wish to play on a server that is at capacity, then that is your choice, not Bioware's fault. If every server was at capacity, then you might have a claim to compensation, but that is not the case. YOU CHOOSE TO STAY ON THAT SERVER!

Exactly. EA/Bioware have no duty to make sure that you are able to play on the same servers as your friends. There is nothing that is stopping him from playing the game, there are servers that have ample capacity. The only legal duty that EA/Bioware have is to provide a server that he can play on, nothing more than that. They do not have to provide preferential treatment just because his friends are playing on a particular server, a server that they were perfectly entitled to reject.

You are not being prevented from using their product. Bioware at no point ever forced you to only play on that server, nor did they actually force you guild to play on that server. They have stated from the start that this was just a suggestion, but guilds and players were totally free to pick whatever server they wanted. You have absolutely no legal case whatsoever.

There was nothing stopping you from rolling on a different server. Nobody is forcing you to play on an over populated server, that is a choice that you are making. Secondly as a post further up states, it's in the ToS "EA PROVIDES EA SERVICES ON A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE BASIS AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS OR USE EA SERVICES AT TIMES OR LOCATIONS OF YOUR CHOOSING, OR THAT EA WILL HAVE ADEQUATE CAPACITY FOR EA SERVICES AS A WHOLE OR IN ANY SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHIC AREA. " As there are servers that are not at capacity, you have no legal or moral grounds for compensation as EA/Bioware are not preventing you from using your game time.

I think they may have finally increased server pop caps.

It makes little difference as to who has the money, the point is many of us have already paid for a product/service that Bioware are providing.

You actually have no idea when Bioware receives the money. Your original post stated that people hadn't paid for the game, my reply was to refute that. For all we know the retailer may have paid up front on a sale or return policy.

Actually I have already paid full price for this game, just as the majority of the rest of Europe has.

This is what Mythic, Bioware's stable mate, did. They cloned servers so that guilds and individuals could make a choice without losing anything.

This whole quote undermines their pre-launch guild program. They assign guilds to servers, then fail to provide enough to cover the early access, forcing guilded and unguilded on to the same limited servers. Now their solution is to move to another server leaving your guild and friends behind! When they put the guild-assigned servers up they should have marked them as not recommended, and then provided at least half that number of servers which did not have any pre-assigned guilds on.

Nope, pre-order started on 21st July.

What's pissing some of us off is that we should have been in the first waves as we ordered on 21st, but due to a ****-up/miscommunication we didn't get our EGA codes until several days later. Bioware initially said that the delay wouldn't matter, but it has.

That's because the EU servers are listed amongst the US ones, they're the ones that say N/A for timezone.

This was just as much their screw-up as Games, they did not make it clear to Game that the codes had to be sent at the time of ordering.
