Early Access/Grace Period

Rohan_Swift · April 2014

I preordered the Physical Imperial Edition from Gamestop back in January. I paid for 2 day shipping. It's finally supposed to arrive on Monday. I read somewhere we would get a 48 hour grace period past Early Access to get our game codes entered. Is this still in effect given that the Early Access has been extended? Which was awesome of ZOS, but STILL doesn't cover me because Gamestop blows but that's another issue. Hoping to not lose play time ALL DAY SUNDAY 'cause of aforementioned blowage. Thanks

As I understand it, the grace period ends on Sunday, April 6 at 8AM EDT.

I will be one of those people that will lose access to the game for a day. I ordered from Amazon, and paid a ton extra for 1 day shipping, yet my game is also supposed to arrive Monday. I was hoping that the grace period would be extended at least one more business day, but it seems that will not be happening.

There is a VERY VERY good reason, well not good to you and me why it end sunday and not monday.

It is the same reason that you are FORCED to subscribe to get your free 30 days.

That reason is the beancounters will be in Monday morning first thing and they will be very busily making a report to present to the investors and business heads saying 'Look at how many subscriptions we got!'. They will for all intense purposes be lying to the investors but that is how a lot of business works in order to get investors and keep them happy.

Basically you are getting hosed just so they can simply use you as a statistic. Sorry about your luck at least that is one less sub they will have to fudge the numbers for.
