Change to early access / where is my key / change to open beta
Funcom have posted the following on the community site:-
"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!"
The bit that scares me however is:-
"Registration for customers with pre-order keys has now opened."
"Registering with a valid pre-order key (such as the Rhino or Mammoth key) is the unique way to be eligible to purchase Early Access for 5€/5$. This fee includes 10 days of game-time as well as the digital download of the client. Hurry though, because the Early Access is only available while supply lasts!"
It raises the very valid question of where the hell is my pre order key, a question I will ask my retailer tomorrow. This is also the first mention I have seen of a cap on early access I hope this isnt a small one.
For anyone playing the open beta I would also note that on the 10th they are doing the following:-
"All servers become PvP servers. You can kill each other – no level restrictions on killing or getting killed, but you cannot PvP in the major cities.
All level 13 characters becomes level 20. Their inventory is wiped, but they have “tons” of money and really nice equipment suitable for level 20’s. Shopping bonanza!
You have access to ALL zones and ALL levels after level 20!
You will be zoned to your Race’s Hub. (Cimmerians – Conarch Village, Aquillonians – Old Tarantia and Stygians – Khemi!"
Should be amusing and give me a chance to try my char at a slightly more revealing level.
