Calling Customer Service to get my monies back in the morning. Alpha's definitely not for me - not for $100, anyway.

I'd be interested to see how well this goes, since I pre-ordered under the impression that EQN and Landmark were the same thing, instead of Landmark being a prelude to some different game entirely.

Erm, how do you delete trees from your claim?

I cut it down and it respawns in a minute. :downs:

You can right(?) click them and remove them.

Wow a major company selling ALPHA access to their game, and for $100 dollars no less? I'd expect as much from desperate indie developers or the shitheap that Funcom has become, trying to pawn off early access to their "new engine" that will never be released, but Sony? What the hell.

Yeah, while I admit it was my mistake to not thoroughly pick through the info detailing that EQN and Landmark are two different games being developed at the same time and using the same forums apparently, I thought that I was pre-ordering a game that would later be sold rather than paying to alpha test a game that will be free to play, while EQN will undoubtedly cost money on its own.

I understand that letting people alpha and beta-test the game is super good for getting important feedback but I don't see how that alone justifies charging up to $100 dollars for the privilege.

They just have a bigger paywall than this place and probably a few less idiots because of that.

I get what you're saying, but I don't know if I'd want to play a free-to-play game (with cash shop) that was designed by people fine with paying $100 for the alpha.

Either way, my main concern is that I don't actually know what Landmark intends to be when all the dust clears. A sandbox building game? An MMO with bolted Minecraft elements? A standalone free-to-play version of the 'real' Everquest Next game? Having played the alpha for hours, I can't quite get a read on it.

"We will offer a full refund no to anyone not satisfied with the Alpha"
