Get me a copy while you are in there and i will cover your bail money...rofl!

your on!

Not to be stupid but how is Stardock distinguishing Beta testers from pre orders? I pre ordered, tested the last two betas and reported some bugs, does that make me a beta tester? I can wait until tomorrow afternoon, granted it won't be easy, but was just curious how the pecking order is determined

Hmmmn,I did get a pre-order confirmation e-mail but its not showing in the impulse "My Games"area. Is this true for most pre-order customers? Someone in an earlier post indicated they didn't get the confirmation e-mail but did have the game listed in "My Games" area. Normally I wouldn't even worry about this until after 1pm tomorrow but I  got sucked into the forums and am posting against my better judgement.

If you were in the beta at all that would make you a beta-tester. As to how they know you had to get it through impulse and i am certain it left an electronic trail to follow.

Ooops,I quoted the wrong poster in my response.Meant to quote and answer this:

Ok, I preordered elemental, then a week latter I changed my email address, I have gotten no email saying I get it early, and I don't see the elemental in my games.  Is this a problem, or has it not shown up because it's not mid-day sunday?

Stardock folks,

any way I can pay with paypal and still play tomorrow (after the beta-testers of course)?

I will pay with an instant payment, no need for preorder charge AFTER release.

If you've already been charged, you're considered a "beta tester", regardless of any actual participation or lack thereof.

If you no longer have access to that address you'll want to contact sales@stardock.com immediately. The game will be linked to the address it was ordered for, so if you can't update it in time you'll need to have support merge it to the correct one on Monday.

You guys are looking into this way too much.

Look, if you pre-ordered before the beta was closed, you are a BETA TESTER, and will get the game SUNDAY MORNING. If you pre-ordered after the beta closed, you are a PRE-ORDER, and will get the game SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Sheesh it's not ROCKET SURGERY! 

Ahh, so should I be led to assume that the delay for pre-orders that weren't beta testers is primarily a billing-related deal?

Oh, message from webpage... I wish you were more accepting...

I've had this preordered, and have been waiting, for a year and a half now. You shoulda' pre-ordered earlier! Surely two more days won't kill you ; )

Hoping that it all works out and that everyone can get the game downloaded and playing by tomorrow night!!!!

I'm eager to chat with the devs on Monday, so I'm trying to get it preordered for early access.

But yeah, like you say, it's not really a big deal.
