[Games will not work if the console has not been connected to the internet in the last 24 hours.]

Here’s an explanation from a company staff on how the console and its games will work.

A few highlights:

Games will not work if the console has not been connected to the internet in the last 24 hours.

“With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.”

So bad luck if your internet gets cut - after a day, you can’t even entertain yourself with your Xbox games.

You can’t sell your second-hand games to any store that might want to buy them from you.

“Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers.  Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games.”

Not only will games only be able to be sold to “participating retailers” - those retailers will only be able to buy games if the publisher has “enabled” them to be bought and sold second hand. And as Microsoft says, those publishers “may set up business terms or transfer fees with retailers” that will regulate the conditions of such sales on a game-by-game basis.

You can’t just pass games around among your friends.

“Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.”

Again, game discs can’t just be handed around - first the publisher needs to “enable” the game to be given to a friend. And even then it can only change hands once. “Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners,” Microsoft says.

All these terms are a big change from what has come before, and Microsoft seems to be aware that consumers might have something to say about the new deal:

“As we move into this new generation of games and entertainment, from time to time, Microsoft may change its policies, terms, products and services to reflect modifications and improvements to our services, feedback from customers and our business partners or changes in our business priorities and business models or for other reasons. We may also cease to offer certain services or products for similar reasons.

In the months ahead, we will continue to listen to your feedback as we meet with our partners in the ecosystem to bring additional detail about our policies.”

Hi guys! Sorry for any late response. Been overseas for a week. You may look for Clairelove for anything if you're not able to find me online.

Hi Guys! We are no longer playing Guild Wars 2. Thanks for taking an interest in joining us but unfortunately you'd have to look for another Guild. All the best in your search!

We are currently playing Rift and Dragon's Prophet to pass time while waiting for WildStar/ ArcheAge/ Blade and Soul, etc. You are welcome to join us in these games!

Locking this thread.

Any chance anyone got into beta for this? Anyone pre-ordered?

I know quite a number of us are gonna pre-order it. As for beta, phase 3 is in June. Have you applied for the beta yet? I think there is a high chance that people who applied for beta will get in phase 3 because they are preparing for the official launch in August.

Oh okay. That's good to hear. Then I think I'll wait for a bit before I placed my preorder. It's still almost three months away anyway. Thanks Einzo!

You are welcome!

Yeah thanks! GMG do have the DD, saw it just now. But I'm still looking for the package. No luck though. If I can't find any, then DD via GMG will be my last option.

I saw a forum comment from one of the SE staff that they will distribute the sales to more retailers soon. Not sure how soon though. Maybe you can consider waiting for a few more days.

First Guild photo taken last night!

Anyone know where we can preorder the CE Digital Download/Complete Package from Singapore? I've check some sites and all requires credit card from US.

Tried GMG yet?

A little late to post but here it is~



and the infamous....

Hi Guys! The Guild is up and running! We have invited those who posted their IGN here and online at this point of time. Game requires you to be online in order for the invite to work.

For those who missed the invites, you may search for Einsof in the Guild list in game OR PM Einzo/ Clairelove/ Iscarus for an invite. See you in game!

Welcome new guys! Some of us are still downloading the game.. We will start with the invitations once everything is ready. Meanwhile, for more info and guides, you may refer to http://www.dphqs.com
