I said in another thread, might as well say here. I preordered the game after the beta, I did not receive any confirmation email or serial so far. So I contacted sales@stardock.com and I received a response telling me that they have my preorder in their registry or logs or something ( Forgot exact wording ). They said I'll receive an email with the serial as soon as the product is available and that is also the time when my card will be charged. So it seems there's nothing to worry about. I'm feeling a bit jittery about it too, even after that confirmation I received from them but I trust it will be good:P
Edit: Here's the entire email I received..
Hello,
There is an Elemental pre-order on file for you in our system. Your pre-order is being held until the game is made available to you. When this happens, you will receive your registration information via email so that you can gain access to the game in Impulse.
Your card has not yet been charged, however, you may see a pre-authorization to verify that the funds are available.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thank you,
Elisa
