gatpr Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Shouldn't we be nearing a date when we can pre-order. Does anyone have any clue about how they will be conducted. Of course, the fairest method would be to email we veterans a week or so before the tard-venus to recompense for our sweat equity and anxiety! Hah!

Not a good question at all!! the ONLY good question is "How long until it is due??"! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 It's due september 20th (as you should know, Mike. For shame ). And NO pre-orders IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tondu Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Originally posted by Juju: .......And NO pre-orders IIRC.I sorry but, I thought thay said that there WAS gonna be be pre-orders. They accepted pre-orders for "Strategic Command" didn't they? Why not CMBB? Anyways, if they aren't then that is ok too. I know they're working hard and many kudos to BTS. With every new screenshot and every new report about it on this discussion board, CMBB looks even more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 maybe I'm wrong but I was sort of expecting the announcement for pre-orders being open somtime between Aug 20 and Aug 30 or there abouts BUT that is "just" a guess and nothing else... any other comments or expectations? -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamphyri Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Hmm .. I remember reading something about this. Said something about how they have a new creditcard processing system now that can't handle pre-orders. Don't hold me up to that.. just thought I read it somewhere.

BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 I belive Steve said in his interview at Warfare HQ that pre-orders would probably start two weeks before the release date. If it's not in that interview, I know one of the BFC boys mentioned it at some point. I'm sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaylord Focker Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Sounds like you may have fell for a ruse a long time ago? Don't worry Mike , they allow actual visitors to come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Yes, I know visitors are allowed to go home. But visitors do not require release young fella. No, I haven't fallen for it - I advised your parents on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchlstrt Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 One thing I could see which might be fairish, useful & realistically doable would be if BXX could automatically prioritize by Member #. That way 'Oltimrz' would tend to get their copy sooner, & BXX would tend to get more useful feedback sooner. Any bets on how long after release the first 'Fix. Or do sumfink' post pops up?

Dirtweasle Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 The member numbers were scrambled back a year ago I think. Durring a BBS sftware upgrade or somefink. What happened was you got a new member number based on when you next logged in after the upgrade. So some of the longest memebers that didn't go onto the BBS for a period got somewhat higher numbers. Aside from that bit of flotsam - I'd rather they just take the orders as the get them and fill 'em. Which is how I imagine it will be anyway. Would be somewhat interesting to know what sort of SLA the fulfillment company has agreed to provide though. Say X numbers of units per day, that sort of thing.
