Any particular reason why Tuesday?

Just curious as to why the launch is happening kind of mid-week. Is it because they want Monday to finish off vital setup and testing for the real (with help from pre-order peeps) or just because they like the sound of the 30th rather than 29th?

I'm thinking to give the pre-orders a bone. With that it also spreads out the lvls a bit by "two" start dates. And with that, most have school/work during week so it will slow the number of people logging to servers during the day. True test of servers may in fact be between 3-7 pm Tuesday evening.

Tuesday has become, in marketing, "Super Tuesday", the initial release day for music, books, videos, and software. It builds mid week traffic in the stores, allows them to restock after the weekend sales. This was probably not even under Sigil's control.
