Early Access Event

hmm just a quick question i don't know if this has been answred already or what but im going to post it anyways...

Will the early access event end on Thursday night 11:59 PM on the 28th or will it end on Wednesday 11:59 PM 27th...

it says my account is authorized for
(12:01 AM April 27th - 11:59 PM April 28th)

early access ends when retail begins (in about 6 hours)

edit

at 11:59 PM on the 28th you have to enter a retail key or stop playing if you dont have one (my retail is already entered)

No. The Early Access Event finishes at the end of the 28th. It's a 48 hour event.
That means, you can play from the start of the 27th to the start of the 29th before you must enter a retail key. You can however enter a retail key at any time after the start of the 28th.

nope
early is 24 hours ending tonight
however the *GRACE PERIOD* is another 24 hours of the first day of retail (the 28th) before needing the cd key
48 hours total

can someone be more clear so when does my pre order key get denied?

The event that is early access is 48 hours long. Yes, there are only 24 hours of exclusive play when preorder customers can play and retail can't but the whole 48 hours is called the Early Access Event.

You can play until the end of the 28th on your preorder key.

If you got early access, do you get to keep the characters you created?

thank you for clarifying that =)

Yes but all is whiped! No inventory and back to lvl 1

Good, then i'm not missing out by having to wait till midnight.

Newp. You get to keep the characters for this event. The only characters taht were whiped to level 1 were the BWE characters.

Yeah, would be silly to purge again and have the cities totally overcrowded. Better to spread the user base around abit. So I doubt they will purge again.
