Quoted from bemmett:

Not that I really care one bit and that's awesome to hear what a great time it was but how'd you get in to the VIP party without buying it, I thought it was exclusive to people who pre-ordered only? My one minor complaint so far with this is the lack of "pre-order bonus" that those of us who have paid and pre-ordered are getting. I haven't even gotten my t-shirt yet. This VIP party is obviously awesome but it seems most anyone that wanted in could find a way in, so again I hope they continue to give some kind of nice bonuses to the people that trusted and supported them with pre-orders from the start. The rug is great for sure but I'd like to see a little more still hopefully.
I am so mad I didn't get to go to Expo this year because of a prior obligation, this VIP party and TBL was what I was most looking forward to. Everything I saw made me 100% believe in them and this game and it should only get better! Good to hear you got some inside knowledge and further trust to stand behind them all.
