So if I want to be able to play on the 14th I just need to pre-order the collectors edition?

Yeah, they have been sold out for a while now. you might get lucky though.
That's horrible. I actually have a job scheduled that day, I'm pissed, lol.
They really couldn't do it on the weekend huh? Mythic EPICALLY FAILS! lol.
I'm hoping I get in on the 14th .... I actually preordered the standard edition but my account over at EA Mythic says:
GameStop Pre-Order
Includes: Rittenbach's Portable Camp and Sentinel's Amber Band
Closed Beta Tester
Closed Beta Tester

Includes: Title - 'The Validated'
CE Head Start
Provides access to the CE Head Start
Now that specific hours are flying around, does anyone know at what time do the servers open on the 18th? It's just that I'm gonna have to buy the game on that day (no digital preorder for my country) and I'd like to buy it as early as I can, hehe!
Thanks for the heads up,
now im off to pre order from d2d
16th now? No longer 15th? Erm, hrm, could have sworn it was 15th initially...
EDIT: yeah it used to be the 15th as found here: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1263326#post1263326
wtf?! not my faulth they ran outta CE copies, I preordered what they had..wait two more days?..oh well, maybe the mini black holes from the collider tomorrow will take us all out anyhow.
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
So wait, did they just take away one headstart day from the SE preorders to give it to the CE preorders? Or can we just argue that SE was never *confirmed* to start the day immediately after CE?
I'm not going to lie now, I'm beginning to get a bit bummed out about this. It's like they're flaunting the Collector's Edition in the face of everyone that didn't get in on it during that (arguably) short time it was being offered by adding new bonuses that weren't there before. x_x
But eh, that's just me. Way I see it, I'm not quite nerdy enough to get the CE anyway... Let the true Warhammer fans have it. I'd just like to have the extra face choices and bonus quests is all. :P
Interesting that they would push SE head start back from Sept 15th to 16th... I guess it all doesn't really matter anyways. 2 days head start is better than 0 I suppose.
Still, it's an odd decision. A lot of SE players most likely wont get too far out of the starting zones, if they get out of them at all with working regular hours, which wont help the massive influx of people starting on the 18th.
Name reservation.
That's seriously lame. I was looking forward to a 3 day head start so I'd have enough time to get the heck out of the starter areas. Early access on a Tuesday... woohoo.
So is it safe to assume OB ends on the 13th?
I agree. Warhammer had problems getting beta launched in EU. Now, they are going to give us problems by starting us off on a Tuesday...guess the no lifers will get the head start. While we workers and players that go to school will be starting in the afternoon. Well, guess it's better for the server capacity, LOL.
Oh, it will, trust me.
a week... you can get lvl cap in about 48hours...
level 40? ye right..
Got a question for you beoz..."How do you kill....that which has no life?"
im just saying there will be lvl 40s before launch easily...
maybe so...but not many...and those are probably closed beta testers who know the game well and know exactly the best ways to level up. =/ I won't be 40 ha. I know if I would play 5+ hours a day this week which I could, but can't, then I would prob. be 30 or so...but doubt 40.
Overall I can't wait to get past 11 and start new experiences in the game.
Beginner areas ftl. I just hope the chat gets filled up with chatters in retail or I join a good guild, that these stupid annoying bugs get fixed, and that the graphics can be tuned up. My 3 biggest hopes.
It is estimated that IF the collider does indead create a "blackhole" it will take about 4 days, give or take a day, to be able to collect enough mass to consume the whole Earth. Better make your peace now with God......it couldn't hurt eh?
i know this is sarcasm..
but if anyone got to level 40 and rank 80 in a week, you would be exploiting.
I don't see this happening even if you played the game 24 hours and day and 7 days that week.

Is that a fact or a challange? I think it will be done. Not by most but a small fraction, but I believe it will be done.
It isn't EST, it's EDT time-zone.

Construction will be complete Wednesday, but it wont be operational for another month. Anyways, I'ts going to be completely safe. Religious people are just trying to find another way to prove the Big Bang theory was actually god getting kicked in the sack.
There is ZERO chance people get RR80 in 4 days....I say no one gets RR30 in 4 days. Those that lvl fast will out-tier the competition...meaning they will have few to kill to gain RR points. I am planning to get R40 before launch, and being in beta for the short time I have been (5 months) I think it is very doable.
