I will shut off the game server at Midnight PST on February 17

- The server will come on with the final wipe at 3:00 PM PST February 18


Great we have a time :) I do feel like im moaning all the time recently but 11pm at night UK and midnight EU is annoying! I dont see why it couldnt have been midday PST at least to give europeans a bit of time to play before the middle of the night!

It's a perfect time for us brits, 11pm is when we come crawling outta the pubs, Jooky clearly planned this around those who enjoy a drink at the weekend. :D

It'll be 6PM here in Virginia, US. A great time. What to do until then. Maybe I'll take some sleeping pills and wake up in time to order the pizza, get comfy and make the dash to the tribes area.

Ok so after that final wipe is officially prelude? As in, we can start working on our characters without fear of losing them?

Yes, that's usually what the word final implies.

So whats the odds on two days after final wipe they have to wipe it again due to some error or mad glitch? Im saying 70% chance.

I have this odd feeling as well, if it does happen, they will need to do something major to keep the masses from going all pitchfork and torches.

I have never had a toon deleted or a server wiped after a release and I have played every mmo at launch to date. At most I have had minor rollbacks which I can handle....

Argh I'm seriously pissed about the launch time. Europeans get shafted big time. 00:00 Saturday morning for me. I was hoping to be able to log in and play when I got home from work, but nooooo. I have to sit an entire evening, being bored. Hopefully play an hour or 2 until my eyes fall shut and go to sleep. What the fuck is this? And there will definately be delays en shut downs, you can count on that. /rant

Seriously?

No time is perfect for everyone.

Hell I live on the east coast of the USA and guess what - the time isn't GREAT for me either since I'll be working.

We'll all get to play the game soon enough.

While that sucks, the first day will be the mad dashes to claim land. If you're in a tribe, you should be ok. The building of cities will take a long time, and you'll be fully engaged. If your a solo player, i'm sure that there will be plenty of spots left open for a homestead.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be pissed also if I was in your boat..Just trying to get you to "look on the bright side of life" (insert whistling)
