Wouldn't be that late, I think it's 16:00-22:00.

You're going the wrong way, it's 16:00 to 22:00 BST.

edit: too slow

We're 7 hours off, so that's 4pm until 10pm. Perfect for me, it means after work awesomeness

EDIT: Super too slow.

Though the e-mail of dates does carry information about a pretty huge change to the gameplay mechanics that I'm not entirely sold on yet. I'll be on tonight to give it a shot, I have to see this for myself.

Ahh cheers was going in the wrong direction your right.

goes on till 10pm.

Might get a few hours in then.

Going to spend a while with the character creation myself before trying the game out, want to see what it's capable of. Maybe try recreating a few of my old CoH designs to see how close I can get it.

Just a pity we're not allowed to talk about it once we've seen it, at least not for another couple of weeks.

I find myself tempted to pick up the lifetime sub - never really got into CoH/CoV but I really love the idea of this. Pity the lifetime option is only available as a pre-order option - without trying it, I'm not sure I'm up for taking the risk.

No mention of opening up for a larger scale beta as the release approaches, I guess?

Enjoy it noobs! Sorry, I hate that word. Do enjoy it though. Especially the Character Creation, I love that in every MMO.

I thought they were all allocated already? I only belatedly noticed some on the EG front page the other day, as it goes.

I'm pretty sure there's an open beta after this closed one ends so there's still a chance to take a look before it goes live.

I got a mail from Amazon last night after asking about something, they said they're due to have their pre-order keys sent by August 17th in time for the open beta start.

Wow that... just... really doesn't look like a game that's being released in a few short weeks. Character creation was excellent, though, so that's a plus I guess.

No shards found? WTF?

edit: restarted and now it's patching. That'll do :-)
