You can't play... well, maybe you can...

Mythic Entertainment originally planned to have a grace period for accounts created during last week's headstart for Warhammer Online. This was for people who had pre-ordered the game, and would have to wait until it arrived in the mail.

Originally planned to extend until Monday, it was instead cut short to yesterday morning - the day after launch. This didn't sit well with people, especially those getting their accounts deactivated. No reason was given for the change, and even less was given for the sudden reversal later in the day that went back to the original plan.

On Friday, however, Mythic announced that it deactivated "a large number of accounts" this morning. However, many of those accounts will be getting turned back on, as the decision has been made to extend the grace period to customers of Amazon, GoGamer, the EA Store, and The Source, which Mythic claims accounts for "just about all the customers that were concerned about their chance to get into the game today."

Assuming that includes everyone affected, it seems Mythic has righted their wrongs. But we can't help but wonder why the change was made to end the grace period this morning in the first place. After dealing with this, an even further extended grace period would have been nice, but maybe that's taking wishful thinking too far.

Wouldn't it have been fun to be a fly on the wall when that decision making process was going on?
