I also got one about changing my beta account to a real account yesterday. They seem to be spamming me to get me to subscribe.

I wouldn't be surprised if the game has less than 50,000 people. My EB sold ONE copy. Has like 40 out.

The two sequels and the dog that was Enter the Matrix ruined the franchise. The first Matrix kicks all kinds of ass, but the game apparently build on the stuff from the sequels so you cannot ignore their existence.

Oh, and word of mouth from the beta and all that.

The best part of SWG was the easy account cancellation process.

Yes.  You just get the isle of refuge, and the tutorial.  A total of...

tutorial(boat)
isle of refuge
crafting instance
orc cave

4 zones.  maybe one more if you they give you the normal char select zone, instead of re-using the boat.

I believe you still have to go buy a box for the key to get into the full game.

Manager buddy at a Gamestop says he hasn't seen a single copy sell.

My laughter to all those who actually bought the game.

Y'know, it really isn't any worse (or better) than every other MMO out there.

That being said, I got lucky and canceled my online preorder just in time. It was a good way of getting a free peak though.

I have an unopened box that I got for free.  Maybe I will play it sometime this summer.

Does the game really have PvE combat with built-in griefing? Count me out.
Quote from: Eurogamer
Both combat methods basically work. By themselves. But when both happen at once, the game imbalances horrifically. You see, once you're inside Interlock, your next attack only takes place once the animation has played out. These are inevitably much longer than the time it takes for a ranged-combat timer to recharge, meaning that once Interlock is engaged the participants can be bombarded with attacks from the outer world. So while a martial arts fighter may perform one attack on his foe, and they one in return, anyone outside would have time for three-or-so bursts of machinegun fire against them. Standing there getting perforated by nine-millimetre shells while you wait for your opponent to get up is one of those unique Matrix-moments you'll recall fondly to your children.
"Interlock" being a turn-based mano-a-mano melee combat system.

Me too! Customer tried to trade it in, couldn't do that and so he left it in my gentle care.

I'm tempted to burn it. Unless Schild wants me to actually review it.. in some capacity.
