When is my digital pre-order going to arrive in the mail? (Humor)

tinythinker

I've been waiting for 6 weeks and the mail carrier hasn't dropped it off. Anyone else having this kind of issue?

Share here!

(Edit: Most sincere apologies for not properly tagging this as satire. It's early here and apparently that means my sense of how subtle is too subtle was off. There are some serious complaints and problems to deal with as the game approaches the end of its second month after launch, issues which arise with quite a bit of angst and vocal frustration on the forums, and humor can help people deal with the associated stress. My intent was to give folks a chance to be silly and release some of that frustration with laughter, offering responses like "When will the game be out for Windows 98?" or "Which key bindings would be best for my dog?" However, figuring out what is or isn't serious can be difficult online. Dry humor and straight jokes often fall flat. Still, here is proof that both players and the staff are often quick to respond to problems!)

Not sure if understand correctly. Are you saying you have not received confimation email with activation code for digital pre-order?

In this case a failed attempt at humor.

My apologies, but thanks for the prompt response! I kind of wish I did have an issue to have you help with, but other than the usual (a broken quest here and there, the occasional latency at peak population times in Cyrodiil), everything is working really well.

I thought it to be quite humorous. When is my game going to start speaking to me to tell me what attack I should use and when, and no I don't want a tutorial, I want Jakarn to say, "Hey, Riana, use that overload on these guys. It will take them out quickly." *humor is what it is.*

Well first thoughts were 'Is this guy just joking or is he serious'.

Which reminds me, I have bit older pc at home and maybe I could give that to my wife so she can also play this game, how well it could run this?

133Mhz Pentium II, 32Mb memory, about 500mb HDD, I think it had some Matrox graphics card and Gravis Ultra Sound sound card. Unfortunately I would have to invest a bit into new monitor since the old CRT monitor is long gone already unfortunately. OS is Windows 98. It ran Doom, Quake, Duke, Civilization, Simcity fine.

I don't think it will run it at all. Time to get the wife a new computer.

Is it the HDD, just noticed that it requires about 60gb HDD not 60mb...silly me. Think I need new HDD.

Sometimes I do find my self thinking the very same. Sometimes it feels like it was only yesterday when I was living with parents and tweaking config.sys and autoexec.bat to make some game work.

Are they supposed to send the Imperial Edition box to me even if digital purchase? Crap I registered under my GF address and now we broke up because of the game.

Guys think it's possible that I drop by her house and ask for the CE box?

Greetings, I am holding your digital delivery via a brand new reverse DDOS attack. Release of the packets will be done once I have been made empress in cyrodiil.
