Pre-Orders for Drift and Over-Run back up for pre-order

[griffin]

Oh, and for those (like me) who were upset about having one of the Battlecharger duo in fancy packaging (Runabout), and the other in a baggie (Runamuck)... The box for Runabout will have two spaces in the foam insert to hold both (and are both on the cover).

Now that is impressive.

I (thankfully) submitted my order with no issue at all- bit of a rarity it seems... @_@
Oh dear...

And yeah that box for overrun looks awesome with the slot for runamuck!

That is indeed a nice touch. And I do like the box art. (Did consider getting a Tshirt.)

I had an error... possibly because I CAN'T use the card on file, thanks to it being cancelled due to details being stolen.
So now I have to wait until their office is open in about another 14 hours.

And if I have to fax through a copy of a new card for their files, it won't be processed until they re-open anyway.

I hate the way they do that EVERY TIME - open up pre-orders and registration just after they closed for the day or week, and everyone who has a problem, has to wait days or hours, and miss out.

I think we are all on this same boat. What are the chances we'll miss out?

I was in and had to restart, now I can't locate either figure!

even the direct links don't work.

Seems like they have been pulled..

From The Club Facebook page:

The problem is not with our server but rather with the company who processes the credit card charges. Their system is bottlenecking as multiple transactions are hitting them in the same moment of time. We will resume pre-orders as soon as we solve this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. It will most likely be in the morning before we have a solution worked out. Thank you for your enthusiasm. You guys are too powerful for earth technology! :-)

I just got an email from the club,


We have turned off the exclusives as the credit card processor can't handle 8-10 transactions a second. they are going to try to reconfigure tonight and we will hopefully try this again tomorrow.

Thanks for your support and patience.
Brian.

So No need to panic everyone. just keep an eye on the email and twitter.

If they couldn't handle that many from a "surprise" opening of pre-orders, just how many do you think it will be flooded with per-second tomorrow now that everyone knows about it, and is already in a panic.

Annoying thing is that it could be anytime "their" tomorrow... which could be from 5 hours away to 24. That could suck if they re-open preorders while any of us people doing group-orders are at work, and they sell out in that 8-9 hours we're away from home.
Drift will be fine... but Runabout is the great unknown.
