Then, why don't you inform NCSoft of this particular store breaking the release date, and causing the problem that you've ran into? That way NCSoft can address the problem you're complaining about. Give them the store address and location, so they're made aware of it.

That wouldn't do any good. They can't stop the retailer from selling the game now that the street date is broken. (And typically, its Wal-Mart that breaks street dates, or Best Buy. Large retailers are famous for it). All they can do now is make the choice:

No, but it WOULD stop those unscrupulous rogues at Gamestop (or wherever you ordered it) from kicking anybody else's inner puppy by doing such a thing in the future. Think of all the potential customers you're not helping out by being so irresponsible.

Keep the game locked for everyone but preorder customers until monday, or let the customers who are buying it right now play?

ie: "Lemme in! I'm mad. Gimme what I want and gimme it NOW because I made an uninformed decision."
It's not hive-mind. It's not hungry wolves. It's not pre-order geeks. It's the fact that you can't accept culpability for your actions.

My actiosn which include... what? Sitting here at home on Thursday and recieving a call from Gamestop saying "Your copy of CoV will be in on Friday".
I mean, at the time, I figured it makes sense. Releasing a game on a Friday is good business. Not only does it set you up for the weekend, but people have freer wallets on Fridays, because its a happy day.
I'm not saying I'm not at fault for not knowing about Headstart. I'm saying that the many, many customers who I gurantee you do NOT know about it are getting burned right now, and PlayNC should help them out.
A mistake has been made, people can buy the game before PlayNC intended, and your solution is what? "Screw them"? "Its the retailers fault so guess it SUCKS to be you!"?
Pretend for a moment that its just you and me here, and you don't have a whole forum community to impress, and tell me why it is that these casual gamers should be locked out of a game they can legally purchase, who probably are unawares of this Headstart program?

Why should an exception be made for people who don't know to do a little research on something they purchase? Think about what you're saying here, you want the Devs to scrap their release date because a very small percentage(most likely) of retailers chose to break an agreement.
Sounds to me like your really jealous and just want in the game.
