A popular misconception - there is no law that states this. It is a convention on the part of publishers and game shops. Just as a similar convetion applies to DvDs being released on a Monday but some 'big' titles choose to release on a Friday instead.

If I remember correctly the PSP (and its associated software titles) launched on a Thursday in the UK.

UK players will be able to get hold of the expansion for the 1st Feb. We'll be making an official announcement about this on our site probably next week.

really dont know why people are making it hard for themselves, play.com will not have it on the 1/2 even if they do it will take a few days to get to you, you will end up getting it a week after it goes live, just DL it and buy the CD key from GOA, that way you can be playing as soon as the server comes online.

but your forgeting that the servers will probably be down for a week anyway due to crashes, so by the time play delivers DR you will be able to play it anyway :)

this is the EU, not the US. We don't need daily patches to fix e.g. "not being able to see all your abilities" - version we get is stable.

UK distribution's always a pain in teh arse but I don't remember ever having problems with the servers going down due to new expansions.

I think GOA should start selling online keys a week before the expansion goes live. Then the sub pages won´t crasch at release date :)

That would be very smart.
I dont think the dl servers will crash, as its so easy to DL it from US and just change the patch version. So only the sub server to worry about.

that would involve GOA actually thinking about it, not going to happen :(

Ordered one copy from Play so I have a box to go with all the other boxes I've got of DAoC games (urm 9 at last count I think) and will just buy online licences for my main accounts.

how do you download it ahead of time? any links etc, or do I need to make a copy of my cats folder and fiddle with the update.dat to do it? Any help with that please :)

I actually think this is an outstanding idea. In fact in would make Game release day a walk in the park.

Buy the license a week before, and it become active on the.

I will be doing the standard ... buy 1 copy from shop and 1 copy from goa .. which I hope increases the profit from the game release, without having to take into account distrubtion margin and manufacturing costs of the box.
