Yes quite a few people had hopes for the store to be released today- without giving away too much detail I will tell all of you that they are focusing the attention of everyone on the test realm to the store, finding bugs and fixing bugs, hotfixes and patches over the passed few days have been great.

However, I don't see the store going up today, (Maybe I'm wrong) but I can assure you all they want this store to happen just as much as we do- probably even more. There are still kinks to be worked out but they are making sure the release of the store will be a pleasant and memorable one for everyone.

Personally, if this means keeping the store down to ensure a proper launch (when dealing with actual money or that tantamount to someone's time) I feel it is most appropriate that they are waiting until the store is thoroughly tested.


Hang in there, I'm sure they will update us when they have a good handle on how long it will be until it is up. And until then there is no reason to worry as there are Top Men on the job.

I've been avoiding these threads, but I've had just about enough. They are *already* dealing with peoples money. Those who bought the CE and Retail copies. I'm also sure their investors are ecstatic over constant deadline slippage as well.

I paid for something that everyone else is getting. I am not satisfied with this outcome. In short Riot needs to make it right with everyone who purchased the CE, period.

People who bought the collector's edition will get what they paid for.

If someone buys $100 of Riot Points and then there's a massive database crash because it's not ready and all of that is lost, that would be catastrophic.

i bought the collector's edition because i wanted to have access to a range of champions from the get-go. Since the "launch party" ive farmed enough IP to purchase a handful of champions, and the free to play rotation has increased from the planned 6 at a time to 10. If given the choice again, i would probably not have pre-ordered, but instead spent 10-20$ on riot points when the store goes live for skins

Exactly. I wasted my cash and Riot doesn't seem to care. Why even release a CE? Why not call it a "HAHA LOOK AT THAT GUY THAT PAID US FOR A FREE PRODUCT EDITION!"

Here is the deal. Obviously the ppl that pre-ordered this game and are *****ing have never pre-ordered a game before. Especially a game called Halo2 or any of the Halo's..... Ppl payed real money, and bungie delayed the game release by 12 MONTHS AND MORE!!!!!!!!!! Patience is a virtue, among other things like remembering your mother's birthday.
