    I have checked my resources "hohenheim" and it seems that the Pre-release of the game is not available in your country.

     

     

    this is the answer from microsoft supprt, wtf!

    Damned man, how come this is so badly communicated. It should be clear what countries don't have it then. This is some BS if it's true.

    I have checked on xbox store, it is available in countries like Argentina, Australia, USA, Canada, Portugal, but not Scandinavia countries, and not belgium, The Netherlands. Hope it's just a bug soon to be corrected.

    For now the best that we can do is to wait for further updates. In all sources, it doesn't say that the game preview is only available for specific regions. All region on Xbox server should be eligible for the game. It just pre-released right now "hohenheim" and I'm sure our Administrators an Engineers knows that you guys from Norway and other country is waiting for the game.

    I suggest to check on this from time to time. In the meantime, I will create a report about this.

    We thank you and  appreciate your contact regarding this. Nothing to worry. The game should be soon available on your region.

    This is the best thing that we can advise for now as Xbox support because we don't have the direct control of our system.

    Rest assured that you will be able to join the game preview.

    I know there's a lot of our folks in Norway who are waiting. I also have a cousin there who heard the game and was planning to join the game preview.

    You are most welcome. I understand how you feel about this. I am also a gamer like you. Nothing to worry. Xbox is sharing this game to everyone. Let's just give our team a little to time to sort things and prepare it for you.

    No, they were just guessing, ARK is keeping they're mouth shut about what's going on. i know there has been a lot of trouble with the launch so they are probably saving us from a lot of bugs, but this is taking forever, waiting 24hours without any news, heartbreaking!

    It is something but "in the future" or "soon" is veeeeery vague. So yea nobody got a clue and i think not even they do.

    So me and my friend have been playing pretty much since release on the EU official server #9 and all of a sudden we were both kicked from the server and we haven't been able to get back in to only this server the ping is showing -1 and the player count seems to be unchanged but every time we try to connect it says joining failed unknown error or could not retrieve address. It's been doing this now for over an hour any ideas what's wrong ?

    This is more on Microsoft's end, as I seriously doubt Wildcard has any control over where the game preview is available
