Here from Day One Badges Mk II

[Amy]

So, the last poll had the majority of people voting for a set amount of time such as a week. So, here's the new poll asking for how long it should be given out for!

 

[illusionistic]

Three days should be fine.

 

[CrazyDaisy]

When you say "beta badge," do you mean the day 1 badges will be given out on day 1 and then for the rest of the beta period there will be a different badge?

 

[InaDaze]

I also like 3 days. It gives time for everyone to be able to at some point get on.

 

[Krista]

I say 3 days

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry that I didn't clarify!

 

[vause]

Agreeing with everyone who said 3 days. It seems like a good amount of time.

 

[Roxas]

I think 3 days is good enough Everyone will have time to log in.

 

[Shrimp]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Sorry that I didn't clarify!

So would Day 1 people also get the beta badge?

 

[Glitterpeacock]

3 days sounds fair

 

[Dashy]

1st day of regular release

 

[Porcelain]

three days so it's fair (imo) for people who may not be able to log on during day one due to life, lag, etc

I like a week but at least three days. Would hate to see some people miss it if they happen to be on vacation with no internet access. A week would give enough time. But I will be fine with three days as well.

 

[Nickle]

I think three days works great especially if the game opens on a Friday. This gives everyone the chance during the weekend to get their badge.

 

[Mr.GreenGene]

Three days is fine, especially if its over a weekend. That way no one can say they didn't have a chance to log in.

 

[Drowsy]

Three days sounds fair to me. Especially if the game stays up 24/7.

 

[Alyce]

Three days sounds fair to me. Especially if the game stays up 24/7.

I also agree with three days if the game will be 24/7.

Are you people serious... It's the First Day Badge. Not the first week, first three days, first 48 hours. First day = 24 hours. What's the point of having a "First Day Badge" if it's handed out within the first 72 hours?

Excuses: "Oh but some people have a life, Disney, and they can't get the badge."

You know what that's called? Tough luck. If I have work the day MMK releases and I miss out on the First Day badge, then tough freaking luck for me. To some people, including me, the First Day badge holds a level of prestige. --You were there on day one-- Don't lessen/degrade it by handing it out for the first 72 hours. Just the name alone loses all value because of the fact it'll be obtainable for the first 72 hours.

If 72 hours passes, change the name of it. The name of the badge will, quite literally, no longer mean what it says.

Monorail foresaw this and had a great idea. Since people can't cope with the idea that they'll miss out on something and they have to have everything be "fair." Change the name from "First Day Badge" to "Here Since the Beginning," or something along those lines. That would make more sense rather than handing out the "First Day Badge" during the first 72 hours.

EDIT: As for lag, that's the only foreseeable force that can stop anyone from getting the badge in 24 hours. Even if there were server issues that caused everyone to disconnect. You have T W E N T Y - F O U R hours. That is more than enough time for Amy to tweak things and allow everyone to get online, it was far less than 24 hours for Amy to fix the connection issues the first time on OVMK.

We should all get day 1 badges only. but then have Beta Pins given out.

Well if you remember what a fiasco day one was for ovmk.. you would think otherwise. I couldn't get on to the game until 3 in the morning that next day.

It was given out through the entire VMK beta. It's a metaphorical Day 1. Get over logic. This is coming from me. I also think changing the name is a dreadful idea. Did you even see the badge? It's a giant number 1. You don't change the name to Here Since the Beginning.
