I'm sure they have good reasons for doing what they are doing. They are trying hard to get this right and get a solid build out there for everyone.

I'm just waiting for the timer to run out and it to say "Soon" as a placeholder after...

Isn't the 10AM PST launch the same worldwide? So no matter what they'll hit prime-time and off-peak regions somewhere. I imagine the choice of time has something to do with having their largest staff present a couple hours before go time without having to call them in in the middle of the night (when they'll probably have to work some crazy OT fixing issues the first week).

I figured Smedley and Higby were force by the entire soe staff to let them sleep for once in 2 years. They agreed under duress to leave them alone for 4 days.

Oddly enough, Vlad the impaler comes to mind as the developer team sharpen 2 large tree trunks into 2 fine pointed gradual spikes.

Also 4 days to prepare an industrial quantity of tacos, nachos, and chili cheese dogs is not a lot.

I'm tired, bomb you in the morning!

Seems like they get a better server load (more people waking up to download it, and steady downloads throughout the day) rather than FORCING everyone to download it when they get home from work.

What the hell is SOE's logic?
Maybe because SOE is on the west coast and they don't want to go in to work at 1 am?

anyone else going to be there the last 5 seconds of the countdown? I wonder if it'll do anything special when it hits 0 before it lets us d/l and open the site up. Probably not though.

I suggested if necessary we use "Bazinga!" but apparently it's copyrighted.

Folks have been in all night working on last minute things. Launch day is always tricky but the game is still on track for launch.

Translated: High probability of delays.

But I'm fine with that, I would have been surprised if it was otherwise.

where will we be able to download it from? im assuming from the planetside page when the timer hits 0?
would have been nice for Alpha squad or sub members to pre load. its going to be a slow download with the mass of people waiting
