Secret World Legends News - Secret Worlds Legends is prepping for its head start today. While not allowing characters from The Secret World to be transferred into SWL, there is the Legacy Transfer System that will bring a number of things to the new game. To help TSW players make sure their things are moved successfully, Funcom has produced a handy guide.

    They should have allowed legacy players to do that before the launch because as soon as the game launch I can tell for sure that the site will probably crash. I'm not a legacy player, but this is painfully obvious to me.

    Also I think it was(and continues to be) a mistake not saying when exactly the servers will launch in advance(at least 1 day advance). Because of this a lot of players won't be able to play at the launch due to the time difference.

    Also I never got any email confirming that I'll have access to the head start. I just hope nothing messed up cause that will be really unpleasant.

    Other than that I'm really looking forward to the game.

    I actually think it's sort of smart in a back-handed way not telling exactly when servers will open. It'll reduce the crush that a more precise time might bring on. :D

    on there facebook page they say the last stream before prelaunch is at 10 pdt so my guess is either it will go up at 10 or when the stream is done probablly 11

    I think they are still working on stuff behind the scenes. There was a tweet from one of the devs several hours ago that said they were aiming for mid morning EDT for the head start.

    In the info for the stream they were saying they would give away t-shirts while the stream was running, so the game will have to be up by then for that to happen and players will have to have had time to download, patch, transfer and do the tutorial to meet them in game.

    Waiting until the end of the stream wouldn't make sense as you are supposed to find streamers/devs ingame while the stream is live in order to get some t-shirts ingame.

    yeah, it'll be live around 9am EDT, I'd wager. Hoping. :D

    Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

    So is this a new game entirely I was unable to login earlier?

    And as usual that website displays a server code error when trying to access it ?

    Before you try clicking the link to for the secret worlds legends account page, you should read the big type above it:


    THE ACCOUNT SYSTEM OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 23rd FOR THE HEAD START! YOU CANNOT ACCESS THE SECRET WORLD LEGENDS ACCOUNT SYSTEM UNTIL THEN.

    According to the launcher Head Start is delayed until 16:00 EDT today. Hopefully that means the account page will be up around that time as well.

    What a joke this is. Existing credentials don't work. The password reset requires your username (not email) which since it appears they have NOT linked things properly will result in exactly jack s*** being sent to your email to reset your password. Now we know why Funcom has such a poor fan following.

    I can safely say its not exactly a glowing report from me on this head start. Why on earth they never allowed people to download the game before hand so it was staggered beggars belief.

    I am sitting with a wait time of 30 hours before it will finish downloading as it is running that slow. It would have been better to have the bulk of it already downloaded with it just requiring an update, that way the download servers would not be at a standstill.

    Add onto that my wife had trouble getting logged into her existing TSW account and getting the password reset was a right pain in the backside. I will give Failcom one thing, they never fail to surprise me at how bad they can do stuff.

    @Scarran the minimal version is going fast for me. The full version I only had 980kb. Changed it in option on the launcher.

    This would be the obvious common sense thing to do,so only two possible answers.
    1 they are not ready,so a last minute rush to get it ready meaning likely many problems to follow.
    2 They just have no common sense.
    Well there is a third idea a way out there long shot idea,they were afraid of letting the files out early to keep hackers from getting an early start.I highly doubt this is the reason but you never know.I do know from other games i played,early release of files was a really bad idea as file hackers got a head start on everyone else.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    I was unable to log into my old SW account this past week, but I was able to make a new SWL account today just fine. I had a few outfits that would have been nice to transfer over but nothing I can't live without.
  • HyriusHyrius Member UncommonPosts: 55
    Awww! My beloved MMORPG.com hoodie didn't transfer. :(
    Everything else did.

    Existing credentials do work. I used mine, worked fine. What ticks me off is that I've been waiting for the game to begin and received no email about it. Just found out by accident last night that it was live.

    I go for both, all three actually. And I revel in the fact that my Illuminati grabbed the name "Rockefeller".
