My preferred nickname was taken (Saw it posted here last night) and while it might have been someone that ordered before I did, I suspect it wasn't given I was a part of the missed batch. Pretty frustrating since one of the only reasons I preordered so early was to have a chance of getting the name I wanted.
No hardware, no code, no first day. I do still get the badge though right? That was really critical for me /s Heh.
Yeah you should get the badge definetely as a founder. So others can see then ingame that you are a founder.
Of course the frustration with your name I can totally understand. I guess everyone of us will have the same problem, because just a few persons received a code yet, instead of all founders. Still don't understand, why they didn't make a "who comes first, serve first" name-choosing, e.g. every founder receives a code for registering the name at the same time and at a specific date everyone can register their name. I would definetely have used that, because it would have been more fair than the situation we have at the moment.
