E-mail should show up. Me and a friend ordered through the Impulse program, and it doesn't mention Demigod anywhere on our account. On release day (actually, probably tomorrow) you'll get an e-mail with a key, it'll give you a code to put into Impulse and that will give you access to the game and the download for it.

Why are some people here so scared and paronoid...lol.

You payed for the game, you will get the game on its release (tomorrow).

I understand the backend of the imulse database somewhat, I think what people's main problem with the current system is that no icon shows up saying:

Demigod Pre-order, Availalable April 14th.

If this was present, it would clear up a lot of confusion and we wouldn't have to seee 100+ posts like this.

Yeah, a number of people have asked for that in the past. However at present the store and Impulse are separate systems, and any communication is one-way only (store tells Impulse to add registration X to email Y). It's definitely something on the ideas list though if we should redo the backend in the future, and can do it in a secure way.

Speaking as a programmer, I can definitively state:  "It depends".

There are too many factors to ask someone who didn't actually have their hands on the programming question that, and I can think of a few ways to program it so that no, that isn't an option.  For example, if they store account info in the form of boolean data so that instead of saying "Player X has items:  Y Z" (linked list) they instead say "Player X has: TFTTFFTFFTTTFFFFFFF..."  (I doubt they'd do it that way, as any data savings you might get by the boolean approach would vanish once the database of available items grows...  but who knows!)

dont worry aim to being it down with kitty pictures of dooooom
