Any news on when we get to enter headstart codes?
Kind of hoping in the next day or so as Mythic are allowing US players to enter their headstarts now.
Mythic Entertainment - Account Management

Features
Open Beta - Provides access to the Open Beta
Head Start -Provides access to the Head Start
Pre-Order -Includes: Rittenbach's Portable Camp and Guardian's Iolite Band

How did you enter your headstart codes??
It says i cant yet when i try.
Play.com say EA wont let them release the SE codes till midnight on the 14th... this is despite other people already having recieved their codes. I'm just going to be patient but I'm a little worried.

Is there anything we can be doing now that will help us be better prepared?
When are you planning to bring down the beta servers in preparation for launch?
Are you going to be applying any of the patches that have been applied to the US servers?
Thanks.
1. We've previously announced that we'd open the registrations for Head Start on the day it opens. In response to this week's events we are working very hard to enable registration before the 14th. I've yet to see this confirmed, however. I'll get back with an update as soon I can.
2. Will try to find more information on this.
3. Hmm.. stock up with lots of food and drinks and some quality reading?
4. We are planning to bring down the Open Beta servers this Saturday, September 13th.
5. Yes, we will be applying patch 4.1.1 Friday morning. Theoretically, we could patch tonight but we don't want to bring down the servers during European prime time. European testers have already lost enough Open Beta game time.
HS is planned as follows
September 13th - Open Beta servers close
September 14th - Collector's Edition Head Start
September 15th - Standard Edition Head Start
With many tough lessons learned from the Open Beta launch, we have high hopes for the HS start. Also, to be frank, it will be a bit easier on our servers. 55 000 CE copies were sold. Even if every single one of them is ready to join on Sunday, the load on our servers will still not be as heavy as last Sunday.
We know many are worried about the Head Start after this last week, and I understand this completely. Nothing we can say will redeem this worry (although I personally believe things will go a lot smoother). Hopefully, our actions will speak for us on Sunday.

well I think it is stupid to open it to late because those that will suffer is the CE buyers (those that payed more and deserved that extra day and MORE).
All non CE will try to register way before, therefor us 55.000 CE's cant register before sunday cause the other hundreds of thousands trying .
if we lose our extra day because we are not able to register keys, they should delay the normal headstart.
edit: If you're not a CE holder, please keep off the Reg site at Sunday.
