New early access date for EU servers.

[LordjOX]

Important read:

Registration now opened and new Early Access date for the EU servers - Age of Conan Forums

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 where do us brits get pre order keys from is it part of the pre order or what?

 

[Poon]

I think GAME Amazon and Play offer them, you get emailed them, not sure what you do if you're going to pick the game up from a store

 

[Starman]

Great news - now if Play would just hurry up and email those codes!

Hopefully the name for the retail servers will be announced soon also so we can all decide where we are going

Yup, gimme my key An extra weekend sounds juicy.

 

[rynnor]

Cool - main reason I want early access is that I'm on holiday the week after and want to keep up

 

[taB]

Ditto, the official release weekend is a bank holiday and I'm abroad

The 17th of May is actually Norway's Constitution Day, so basically it'll be alot about hot dogs, ice cream, nationalism and age of conan!

 

[Maasu]

I wasn't going to actually pre-order, but given what i've just read i think i'll hop on over to play.com. See you 17th!

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Speaking of pre-orders, does anyone have an idea when the stores will ship us the actual pre-ordered game boxes? I'm not going to play in the early access, and want to install the game from the DVDs.

I've got a pick-up, next to my work, so it's en route to work and back

Though i think i'll pick it up AFTER work, you know, safety reasons.

I think they'll ship it on the 23rd though, so you might be late.

Ah well, I guess I will see everyone in game on the 23rd then. I wonder when they'll close down the closed beta servers...

on the 14:th iirc

Just meant that if they don't get the packages before 23rd, i don't know if they'll ship 'em out before.

So if you got a pre-order, it may arrive on the 24th or some such.

Not sure how those work as i've never ordered anything that needs to be on THAT day and is released on THAT day.

 

[Levin]

I would have thought they would send out the boxes anytime now? I mean, it's not like people will be able to log in until the servers are up anyway. And the game went gold on April 10th.

 

[LordjOX]

Pre-order box? I don't think there are any. You get a code that you register your account with. Then you download the client...
The normal DVD case will be in your hands exactly at launch I think.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm. Can't say really.

I got the code for the pre-order early start as soon s i ordered it(relatively), been in my inbox for a month now, and i'm picking up my CE box at 23rd. That's why i thought, that if they ship it, it can't leave before 23rd.

 

[Levin]

Aye, I got my codes and such too, but I really don't fancy downloading the whole client again (downloading the beta client was a nightmare at times) so i hope my DVDs come in time.
