I voted "other." However, I agree with the first option.
My reasoning? If there's going to be a day one badge we need to know that we'll actually have access to the game in the first 24 hours. The first day of OVMK hardly anyone got in, there were multiple connection issues, etc etc etc. The amount of people that "legitimately" received the 1st day badge would have been
significantly lower if the people who actually attempted to play the first day got in; as apposed to letting everyone for the first 72+ hours.
I don't think we should be allowing everyone that's there for the first week to receive the first day badge.
FIRST DAY badge. Not first week, first 48 hours, read what the title of the badge says, FIRST DAY. First day = 24 hours.
There's nothing cryptic and confusing about this. As long as things run as smoothly as they were when Amy conducted maintenance and people were able to connect without consistence DC'ing, I think option one will be fine. However, if we're going to have consistent connection issues I think badges for the first day should be held off on. Although, I think this is just one of those things that realistically is just a hit and miss.
Either way. First Day badge = FIRST DAY. Lets keep it simple and straight forward.
Just as an added note. Amy, i'm extremely pleased to see that you created a poll for the something the community can vote on. Just shows that you're leagues ahead of any of half-brained moronic developers who push out updates and make decisions not based on community feedback. +1 to you. Hope has been restored.
