Pre load / Headstart.

[smetch]

So, I was wondering if anyone knows if there will any preload option for digital pre orders?
Same for some kind of headstart like Rift?

I understand that due to cross platform release and laws for console releases the headstart thing may be wishful thinking...

No head start. No answer on pre-load yet.

No details on head start, I doubt they would tell us so late...but it does seem perfect to give pre orders early access on this friday. I think they would have said something by now to increase purchases.

Oh god, if they only thought like you my friend I would be SO HAPPY for a head start, I have preordered on steam and wouldnt care about any of the tier rewards for a head start, that beta was too much of a tease!!

It's difficult to believe there are no real launch details available yet (beyond the date) with less than a week to go now.

I want at least a preload, so we don't overload the servers all downloading at once. A head start isn't really something I care one way or the other on, but I want it installed prior to the servers going live so I can jump right in.

I would prefer a preload as well, giving a modest to minor patch come release day. Plus I plan on dumping the beta client (installed on my hard drive) and installing the released client on my SSD.

yeah I'm a bit confused at this. I pre-ordered and the trion website does not have my purchase recorded, yet I got the beta invite. Not being able to know that they acknowledge my purchase has me pissed, and left hangin on wether or not I'll get a link to d/l the game and have access in time for launch.

I really wish they would do a headstart, Friday for example. Seems a perfect fit if you ask me, would be an awesome birthday present for me as well=) Still its somewhat dissapointing I thought that a head start for pre-orders was basic common curtesy. At least thats what other games have made me accustomed to. Its also wierd that there isnt a head start when Rift had one.

Yup agreed, assuming they have worked out most of the bigger bugs and their servers should be just about ready to go now?

A headstart would give them some leeway on player influx/crash/bandwidth issues on release day, and maybe a couple days to deal with anything that might pop up to ensure a smooth official launch. I'd rather lose a day on a headstart than to lose time on release day :P
