Actually it goes live this evening at 6? 8? PM PDT. I doubt that my copy will arrive in time for that.

And although I did pay for overnight, I live in a kind of boondocky area. The USPS has us on a no 1 day guarantee, but UPS and FedEx do not. So I may not be in game on the 22ed either. If so I will be pleased to be getting the game for free.

And it gives me more time to think of a name anyway.

Oh BTW when I uninstalled the beta it said to make sure I unsubscribe from the service or whatever. Since it was a beta I ignored it but... is there something else I should have done?

I've been scanning Norfolk Southern, BNSF, Union Pacific, CSX, and Kansas City Southern Radio Scanners. Considering big game launches like XIV and the gamestop "Next Day" promise, They will have huge explosions of UPS and Fed Ex Intermodal Extras that will be heading out. So if UPS and FedEx fail to get it there, it's their drivers fault. The Railroads don't mess around when it comes to extra revenue.


By the way, what server are we all congregating on?

Well, tell them that we're all on the Lindblum server. :)

It's on the slpash page and site announcements and all that.

BTW, who was it? We don't want people wondering where the heck the rest of us are. :D

Whoever said that is dead wrong. I don't even know where that came from considering it wasn't even mentioned when we were selecting the server.

I may have successfully persuaded my old LS to populate Lindblum as well, so if I manage to get on I won't need two characters :)

Next Day showing up is only free if you pay for I think 2 day shipping or something like that. How did my 3-5 days ground (it left from Nashville so that's about 3 days for a trucker) show up today? It left the warehouse yesterday, my card was billed yesterday.... I'm so confused now.

Probably put it on a train for part/most of the trip; more cost efficient I'd think. Every once in a while I catch the USPS semi for Denver - Chicago passing through, but I can't remember the last time I saw a UPS semi come through.

Not exactly a huge UPS fan (I prefer FedEx) but I have to admit, they do their job well. :)

From Canadian National's Radio Scanner and I quote "Copy that, CN Intermodal Extra...." Basically I always go and railfan the Canadian National.... Intermodal trains are class 1 cargo that always takes priority, rarely do they call them "Extra's". I waited. That thing was loaded down with UPS and FedEx onry :3

I paid for overnight shipping, its only way to get the guarantee.

SEATTLE, WA, US 09/22/2010 6:54 A.M. DEPARTURE SCAN

Probably on a truck to Moses Lake, closest UPS hub and that's a bit over 4 hours from Seattle. Low odds on a train or truck to Spokane.

I just checked in with Burlington Northern Santa Fe scanners, They have 3 Intermodal Extra's coming back from Chicago to Seattle, Portland, and Spokane. Wether or not their Loaded, I don't know, but This tends to always happen on video game, movie or music launch day.


EDIT: I got off Union Pacific's Scanners, They had 2 intermodal extra's hit the railyards in LA within a 15 minute time span, getting ahold of some rail fans to confirm UPS and FedEX cargo.

Thanks for checking.

I don't know how they do it with fright, but Amtrack runs The Empire Builder in sections from Seattle and Portland to Spokane then puts the sections together there for the run to Chicago.

Because I was getting my hair done and ordered it via gamestop.com at the last minute like a moron. This purchase wasn't planned, it was a spur of the moment thing.

90 miles (150 km) to Spokane, 240 (400) to Seattle, 80 (134) to either Moses Lake or Wenatchee, both of which are big enough to have a dedicated game store but I don't know if they do.

I used to keep a room in Seattle and spend more time there than out here, but that was before the current economic unpleasantness. Back then it was preorder, walk in on release day.

I was gonna wake up and drive to Gamestop as soon as they opened, but I spent too long playing League of Legends last night, so I woke up around 11, but I did still drive to Gamestop first thing. Currently, I'm patching and finishing up lunch before I finally decide to try and play.
