Hello! From the UK!

[TrainLoaf]

Hey guys, currently downloading my copy of Defiance through the patch loader (Steam Digital Download) and was wondering if anyone else from the UK is experiencing a similar issue to myself;


Patch Notes
------------
"Welcome to Defiance! The game has not yet launched. We look forward to having you join us on April 2nd at 8AM"

Its currently 1:24pm @ UTC/GMT+1 over in the UK so am I right in saying I have another half an hour to wait?

Sorry if I'm being a right noob, just couldn't find what time zone this illusive "8AM" was set in!

Thanks guys!

Think it went "live" 8AM UK time

But the servers are being hit hard with new people. People getting past the intro area but crashing as they enter the game proper.^_^

Give it a few hours and things should calm down a bit.

it's been up since yday evening NA eastern time. i think european server went up a couple hours later.

You: when is the service going to be available in uk? av been up since 7;30 and its still unavailable

You: ok
GM Gulthran: Let me look into that, one moment please.
You: ok
GM Gulthran: It is actually a known issue, and we are investigating the cause of the server outage. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we do not have an ETA on the fix.

OMFG This game is freaking awesome! Took me a couple of hours but i finally finished with the five hour download Have you entered you CD key yet? It might be due to that.

[Solitaire]

I did the CD key first ^_^

Just to make sure it's logged in by the time the DVD install finishes and it starts the update to the latest version...

So are we in? Excuse my stupidity..

from uk and ordered through Trion months ago, so far cluster F~#k from start to finish. needed to change password just get in then most of my deluxe edition is missing. not a great start so far. Rift was a great start so not sure why trion made a mess of this one.
