Submission + - LoTRO European Collector's Edition Problems
sad little hobbit writes: Players who pre-ordered the European Collector's Edition of Lord of The Rings Online have found that a substantial proportion of the contents have been changed, are missing, or will be potentially made available in the future. An explanation of the changes has been provided by a member of the marketing team, but has received a markedly mixed response.
A decent summary of the issues involved may be found here, which boil down to Codemasters knowing at least by the beginning of April that the contents supplied would not be as advertised, that they withheld this information from customers, and that sites (including their own online store) selling the SE and CE versions were not updated with the correct content listings until after the issue had been publicly raised by dozens of purchasers.
I'm going to start using 'hot wax' as a general excuse for everything.
