Pre-Order Boxes

Post by Animalor »

Hypothetically, if I were to be able to score a pre-order box, would I be able to install the gmae and play by tomorrow or is there some sort of catch?

If you get a preorder box right now, all you need to do is register on plaync.com (if you havent already), then add in the preorder box cd key. Youre all set to play for the 3 day headstart on the 25th.

I'm pretty sure there's no catch. Even if NCSoft has taken down it's beta FTP, there are a lot of people hosting it.

The patch/download server still works, you can still get the full game.

Yeah when the 19 minutes counted down last night, it reset to 3 more days. I think someone at Cryptic bailed. :P

30 minutes more by my watch now! I'll be in character creation for an hour or so this morning. ;)

I'm in California, it's 8:30 PST.

The website says 11AM CDT.

Central time is two hours past PST.

That means, 9AM PST = 11AM CDT
