I found this on the forums:
| QUOTE | Note that pre-order items such as the Rhino and Mammoth is not available on Early Access accounts. Once an Early Access account is upgraded with the retail key, the virtual item can be claimed. The originally planned level capping of the Early Access has been removed.
The launch date for early access in Europe has been moved forward! Both the US and EU servers open on the 17th of May (5pm GMT). This date used to be the 20th for the EU servers, thus European players are now getting 6 days of early access until the regular launch on May 23rd!

So it looks like that's 10AM on Saturday for us PST folks, and the rest of ya will have to do the math, lol. Gratz to the EU folks for scoring a 6 DAY head start!
Saddly it seems though, that my poor lil noob will be rhino bag-less :/

Wait, wait. Isn't PST at GMT-8? That'd make it 9 AM for you since both UK and Pacific coast area are on DST right now.
5 PM = 17:00 and 17:00 - 8:00 = 9:00 = 9 AM
Times for US zones should be:
PST: At 9 AM Pacific
MST: At 10 AM Mountain
CST: At 11 AM Central
EST: At 12 AM Eastern (or is that PM?)
When in doubt what your local GMT time is, click here.

Oh, a little tip I picked up last night from the AoC tech support forums:
If you go to clicky and you get any kind of error, then the patch server (well at least the US one I guess) is down. This means the client won't even make it to the checking files part.
If you see a few lines of text and some hex values then all should be good.

Yup, that sounds like AOC launch alright :-)
In a way I'm glad the worst will be over by the time I get in. Might even wait a day or so after official Launch.

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is expected to open at GMT 21 / PST 12 / EST 15 |
