Pre-Order Link: Limited Slots Available!

[Lithium]

So wait, during the first day after the games release only the preorderers will be allowed to play? That means that by preordering I get a 24 hour head start on the average joe? Are you sure?

Yes that is correct. They only have a limited number of slots. Once they are filled it could be a day, a week, a month, or who knows before you can get in.

As soon as they get their shit together, I'm there.

QFT.  QED.

Update from Tasos...looks like it will still be down for a bit:

On the issue we've been having connecting to our account management service, we've been talking to everyone involved all night and have a rough ETA from their network provider which should allow us to resume the pre-orders sometime today (Sunday) and to make sure that this issue never occurs again. Since there's nothing else we can do right now but wait, we'll get things ready for around Sunday afternoon (Europe). If anything changes, we'll post it right here.

Even though this was completely out of our control, the end result unfortunately affects everyone here, and we're very sorry about any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thanks.

Perhaps a FA text alert is in order when the beta and preorder servers are back up?

Update from Tasos



Update 6.25 GMT Sunday

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A quick update:

Two major ISPs, one in Europe, the other in the US are cooperating on the issue we've been facing. We've been supporting them, and they've been working around the clock. The issue has been escalated as far as it can go, and we believe it's just a matter of time before it's solved. The minute it's done we'll likely launch the pre-orders.

We will also offer the installer and client download sometime tonight so that players will have it for launch day regardless of pre-ordering being up first.

We appreciate you hanging in there, and thank you for all the encouraging messages. We'll keep you posted.

Another update

Installer and Client download

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beta testers SHOULD NOT download or install this if they have a current beta installation or they won't be able to access the beta. Their beta client will get upgraded via patch on launch day.


For everyone else (other than the beta testers) that plans to buy the game you should download the Torrent here.

For those who don't know what to do with a torrent file here are some instructions:

Step1: Get a BitTorrent client. For example μTorrent http://www.utorrent.com/
Step2: After installing the BitTorrent client, click the torrent link I post below to download the torrent file.
Step3: Double-click on the torrent file to open it in your BitTorrent client program.

The size of the download is around 9GB.

As for the issue we're having with the account management connectivity, it's still pending but should be fixed soon. We'll keep you posted on any developments, although we won't turn pre-orders on tonight, seeing that it's getting late in Europe.
