    Does that mean they are giving codes away?

  • burdock2burdock2 Member UncommonPosts: 420

    I would say so, yes, but there is no indication as to how many would be given away. I would expect it to be in the thousands though, as they would be wanting to stress test the server loads for the Sept 22nd Launch, and your not going to do that with 1 or 2 thousand. My esitmate would be 10,000 keys to start with and perhaps another 10,000 over the next couple of weeks.

    You are both correct

    NA = 1900 PDT Sept 1

  • XerenixXerenix Member UncommonPosts: 237

    I'm confused. Is it 2 am or 2 pm in  GMT?

  • viddsterviddster Member UncommonPosts: 220

    This is 19:00 PDT (today) and 02:00 GMT Tomorrrow morning). These times are the same, just in Europe it is the 2nd september.

     

    So it starts at 03:00 BST or 04:00 CEST in Europe.

    I think you can still get the downloader from fileplanet, and go from there.

    Well, thats good news, though it is not looking like the download will be finished anywhere close to that time.

    All die, so die well.
