    Cause there's TONS of gamers that love to play a new game at midnight. Plus those the don't or cannot cause they are asleep, they can play in the morning, or after school, work, etc.

    Plus this also helps spread out the player base. By the time you play those that played at midnight will be in a different area and not clogging up the newbie area as badly.

    There are something like time zones in the world. Tell me how they're going to plan a release that doesn't happen at night somewhere on the planet?

    Also bear in mind that Trion is on the west coast. It will be 9pm here. Unless you're a digital customer, few people here can play, but the dev team will be awake and on the job making sure the initial onslaught on the servers is being managed, and working through most of the night into the early hours as each zone comes online when box sales start hitting the street.

    If the servers open at midnight why does steam say that this game will unlock in 23 hours? O_o That makes it a noon release tomorrow.

    Steam usually "unlocks" its games at that time.

    I've pre-purchased from Steam and I have the game preloaded from Trion. The release is in ~9 hours. Not whatever Steam's "unlock" time is set too.

    Well, I did put a question mark on it... I hate time zones. I never do that crap in the right direction.
