God, that's so annoying.

You do not need to ask me twice in 1 play session if I want to pre-order LDoN. Thank you very much. It's like telemarketers and pop up adds rolled into one.

I can only imagine the next step:

You say, "Hail, Soulbinder Jerrath"

Soulbinder Jerrath says, "Hello Bric. I can [bind your soul] or [help you preorder] Lost Dungeons of Norrath"

Ugh, can't agree more. I don't need to be reminded to pre-order LDoN every freaking time I log on. I know LDoN is coming out. Maybe I'll get it, but I sure as hell am not going to order an expansion we have been told so little about. It's so annoying everytime I crash to desktop or log in having to do so many different things to log in.

It was extremely annoying when they were doing this with LoY (and the serverwide GM advertisements). You'd figure the amount of people that complained about that would've told Sony something. Evidentally their new marketing strategy is "spam them into submission!"

*grumble*

Back with LoY, didn't it stop asking after 5 or 6 times?

Nah, they just kept moving the button until you clicked it by mistake...

They really need to put a button in the center that says "Never ask me again", because it truely is annoying to get these stupid screens all the time.

As has been mentioned, they put the preorder button where you normally click a yes, and I did preorder it by accident. But, I promptly went to station and cancelled the pre-order. I probably will get it, but I don't need the thing bugging up my system and its generally really annoying the way they are marketing it. Something more subtle would put me in a better mood about it.

LOL, i took the weekend off and went fishing :D

Funny, the bass, perch and blue gills we were catching never asked me to pay them...

Come to think of it, they also did not go LD on me either

Tho i did have one bass that jumped out of the water and throw its hook and got away, Kinda like broken named spawns.... hmmm

OH.... it rained for about an hour this morning, LAGGGG....

My sister didnt catch one single damn fish, I guess she /rand the lowest?

All my favorite fishing holes yeilded only margional sized fish.... Poor itemization

Some of my favorite spots were overgrown with vegitation. PH's and guards no doubt....

Every time we found a great place the fish would move 15 mins later, Obvious Nerfs concealed in a ninja patch....

The one really big Bass i cought managed to wiggle enough to poke me with its dorsal fin spikes... Damage sheild!!!!

You should've snared it, then jumped in after it!

A very wonderful day, really.

But back to the Rant! PLEASE STOP PUTTING THE ORDER SCREEN IN MY FACE! If I decide to order the damn expansion, I know where to find it. Geez.

click on my account (top right corner)

You seem to have more luck than others, like my brother... He doesn't get the preorder message on his account while I do on mine...

Honestly, if you aren't getting the pre-order message, you should probably check to make sure you didn't inadverntantly order it like so many others have.

Okey, got tired of the pre-order screen, so I had a look through the configs and came over a gem in eqclient.ini .

Change the following lines to this and it won't show the preorder screen every time you log on.

LDoNPreorderFirstView=9999999999
LDoNPreorderLastView=9999999999
