UO:SE

Welp! I dunno where to start, so here it is. But this is gonna be pretty long read, so grab your coffee, put your comfortable clothes on, get your teddy bear too if you want hehehe.. We've been waiting for Samurai Empire, UO:SE, a newest expansion of Ultima Online. It was supposed to be released in Australia on the 9th November by Electronic Boutique but until now many Australian and New Zealand players haven't got their copies. Why? Here is why:

1. Because of the nature of the game, where the subscribers are not only Americans, the distribution of the copies is pretty hectic. Players are scattered from Canada to New Zealand. So they have different release date for each regions like USA, Europe, Japan, Australia, Korea, etc.

2. Delay comes from EB for a "custom" reason that the copies are being held in custom. I mean, who the hell is gonna believe this? EB is a well-known computer game retailer around the globe. And it's been in Australia for years, importing heaps of game softwares or other things for gaming needs every single day. How come now the custom held the Samurai Empire? I just don't buy it.

3. Most EB staffs just being arrogant and pretending to be smart. For saying things like: "Oh, if you got the copy not from EB Australia, from USA for instance, the software won't work in Australia"; "Do you know that is illegal to buy the copy not from EB in Australia". LOL. I was like hello???? PC games don't behave like console games where they have some specific settings such as PAL or NTSC. Doh!

4. The staff know something but tell the customers with other things. I know perhaps someone in high position in EB was the one who held the releasing just because some other games were released at the same date. It is funny when we asked why they keep delaying the release, the staff keep answering "Do you realize that Halo 2 is released at that date?" OMFG. I mean, we don't care about that stupid console game. Be it Halo 2 or Homo 2, we just don't give a crap. We need it on the date as it was promised (lol yea, gamers can act like a drug addict that needs a shot) hehehe.. FYI: Halo 2 is a console game and SE is a PC game, wtf is so hard for releasing them at the same date?

And most of the muppets in EB have a high level of ignorance. They don't care even there had been an obligation from EA that EB should release the game on the appropriate date. Perhaps some of you keep asking, why? Why should it be released in time? Because of the housing system. There is a new land in the new expansion where players can explore, build new houses, etc. BUT as many Australian and New Zealand players haven't got the copies because the freaking delaying, it means they will loose a good chance to get a nice spot for housing to some players who already got the copy. Those players most of them are non-Australian player, as in USA the game was released on the 4th November. That was pissed us off. Lucky enough, the Development Team pull back the housing date. So now we haven't be able to place a house in the new land as EB delayed it again.

It was meant to be released on the 9th November, then EB said it's gonna be on the 12th. Then because Everquest 2 is released on that date, they pushed back the release date on the 18th! Now it's getting worse. So I cancelled my pre-orders with EB, and told them another company can send the game faster, just overnight delivery in Australia. Then the staff started to b_tch saying that it is illegal and EB has the "exclusive rights" to release the game. Yea it has the "exclusive rights" but it doesn't mean that other company can't get their own stock from another wholesaler. Damn morons! I hope they all rotten in hell. =)

For those who are new to my blog, worry not ok? This is a blog of a freaking hardcore gamer who built a toilet attached to his chair so he doesn't have to go to "Afk" or "Brb" while playing the games kekekekeke.. No, the last part is only a joke, even I have to admit it's not a bad idea anyway =P Yea, so I'll talk mostly about computer games.

Hehehe.. now if you see I don't update for a while it means either I play the game or I'm being jailed for torching down our local EB shop kekekekeke.. Ciao!
