I'm devastated.

I've already submitted a request/ticket, but I'm also feeling the need to vent/express.

I'm devastated.

Like many of you, I've waited literal years for this game.
I have been saving birthday $, and even skipping meals on occasion in order to save up for being able to pre-order this game.

I had no idea that only 6 days ago the pre-orders would be going away.
I'm just hoping and (literally) praying that there's some way I can still manage to get a key.
And I'm not even asking for one for free; I finally have enough to be able to afford it.

Ironically, had I known about the ability to upgrade one's pre-order, I'd have ordered the cheaper one a while back, and upgraded along the way, as I saved up enough.

Anyway, I hope to see all of you guys later this year in-game.

This is a real post? If you are skipping meals, your priority here shouldn't be this game.

Also information about the end of pre-order packs have been up for...what is it... a good 4-5 months?

If you're a working person, I assume you have an email. And I'd assume a working person checks their emails at least once a month.

Here's 5 months-worth of updates directly from Intrepid telling you IN EACH ONE that bundles are coming to an end. It takes barely even 5 minutes to skim/read through this.

Last one's literally called THIS SHIT IS ENDING!

You guys get e-mails?

what is an email?

I feel for you, honestly. I was almost in the same situation, i kept up with the games updates (a lot of the time from youtube or other spaces as well) and was excited, but i never really got into the community until about one month before the sales ended. I had no idea they even still sold Alpha 2 keys or let you upgrade old preorders. I had 6-7 days to come up with the money for the key when i found out and im glad i somehow managed to do it, but despite people saying there was 5 months worth of updates on the sale ending, i understand how that can happen and how shitty that has to be. However if you were planning to save for a key for such a long time and were aware of them still being sold, it would have probably been wise to subscribe to their e-mail newsletter, yeah. :-/

Anyhow, i wish you the best with your support ticket, who knows, maybe the gods of verra are smiling upon you, intrepid isn't known for being an ass about things. If that doesn't work, maybe watching streamers or videos scratches the itch until they might start selling Beta keys again or until you can mayhaps win a lucky A2 key. Heads up, Soldier.

You created this account 3 hours ago, to post you didn't buy access.

If checking in every 3 months is constantly, then I guess I'm out of the loop on the concept of time.

Someone's not aware of the game account and forum accounts being separate things 🤔😅

Aside from Nikr that likes to play both sides for some personal joy, the rest can listen to this:

Posts from new accounts appear about complaining and mentioning tickets regarding the end of A2 packs.
The same thing happened with the exclusivity of A1 packs when posts from new accounts started complaining about how IS lied about exclusivity when IS decided that they needed more testers and the same happens with the economy system and the same happened with ru.com.

Every time IS makes a decision people will come out if the woods with some stories about how they got done wrong, asking for sympathy.
I see it as a slight, an indirect (or in the exclusivity mayhem -direct-) accusasion of how IS didnt manage their decision well.

Dont give credance to such posts.
First world problems.
In countries that there is war right now in 20fucking24 there are pictures of mothers and fathers carrying babies in one arm and the ruins of their lives on the other.
Google that instead of whatever this OP linked.

I couldn't find any reference to practicing intermittent fasting in order to be able to afford alpha access to an MMORPG. Could you perhaps link the information you are wanting us to have?

It shows your involvement in the development process. Testing is part of it. And you spend a lot more time here, now, than making sure you get access.

Sorry to hear, I was actually rather concerned that this would start happening when I realized I also wasn't getting these, I even had to check if it was because I bought already, with someone who hadn't.

Just remember not to judge the community as a whole from what you experienced in this thread. There are at least a few others who just, like you, don't float around much anymore, or don't post because of... well, you just experienced it.

Hopefully you'll get your Alpha-2 chance and some shift in discourse then will erase any unpleasantness from today. But no matter what you do, if Intrepid does offer you help, from my previous experience I'll advise:

DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.

For the sake of anyone else in the same situation, I wouldn't want Intrepid to ever 'end up having to stop helping because it causes a public issue for them'. So if you do get helped, don't link it to forum account, don't post here that you got it resolved, etc.

Just my baseless request.

And it's exactly because I live in such a country, that I'm following the game to the best of my ability to decrease the amount I'd need to pay for it as much as possible (successfully btw

I'm just not as paranoid

I'm sure the chance of these accs being malicious or just trolls/bots is high, but it's easier for me to take them for how they present themselves and address that, rather than fighting windmills, in hopes of winning against them.

What is there to win?

You tell me. It's you who keeps accusing any new acc of being a malicious bot-like poster who's trying to... what? Bring down Intrepid in the eyes of people who's been on this forum for years?

I'd probably agree with you if we were talking about some twitter/youtube comments, cause those are usually meant for the broader audience (hell, even smth like r/mmorpg comments would fit that as well), but accusing forum posts of that just seems kinda silly to me.

Agreed. I'm still excited about the game, despite not having time to float around online and monitor everything all the time.

And yes, I will not be discussing help given in any detail.

See you in-game, and hopefully it proves to be a better experience than the forums; I hold out hope for the good apples such as yourself.

They did hint on stream that making food might get you a key

I did buy Beta2 key and will upgrade to Beta1 later though (as seen on the screenshot I posted) and I would've bought A2 key if I hadn't gotten one from making food.
