alrighty, here's the quote itself from guildwars.com :

"Early Access will begin at 12:01 am PDT on Wednesday, April 27th which is 8:01 am GMT. It will end at 11:59 pm PDT on Thursday, April 28th which is 7:59 am GMT on April 29th The servers will open for retail access keys at 12:01 am PDT (8:01 am GMT) on Thursday, April 28th. While you may have a copy before that time, that is the official "go" time, and that is when all retail keys will be activated in order for you to play."

well, i'm central standard time so im just trying to figure out what time i can start playing on the 27th because i'll be one of those fanatics staying up all night to do so

if anyone has a web page for figuring out times world wide or is just kind, lovely, and special enough to flat out tell me, i'd appreciate it.

ps... did anyone else get an email, if they preordered the whole thing, that they already had their box shipped? i know it doesnt do any good until the 28th to have the real cd-key, just thought it was odd to get it sent out on the 22nd... hope EB doesnt get sued

thanks,
sinamon

Crap... I forgot if Central time is to the left or right of Mountain time.

You will be able to play at either 2:00 or 1:00am depending on which. grr... i keep forgetting.

Anyway... PST = Pacific. So whatever number of timezones away from PST time you are, add that to the PST. I live in the Eastern timezone so mine start at 3:00am.

it's 2:00 AM Central Standard

-2 = Pacific
-1 = Mountain
0 = Central
+1 = Eastern
