It runs from September 6th to the 13th, and will give players in North America and Europe a taste of the Western enhancements made to the title, including new skills and more Westernized character creation options. NCsoft will be maintaining a level cap of 30 throughout the event, so players will still have something to do when the game comes out.

After the open beta closes, players who preordered the game will be able to login on the 18th to pre-select their character name and server, reserving them in advance of the headstart program, which kicks off 2 days later on the 20th.

"on the 18th to pre-select their character name and server, reserving them in advance of the headstart program, which kicks off 2 days later on the 20th."

Why more gaming companies haven't taken this route is beyond me. Good job NC Soft

And it's awesome that they are starting the head start on a Sunday. I imagine this will be one of the smoothest MMO launches in history.

This release is giving me the warm and fuzzies..... usually i get the "damn i hope i didn't just blow 60 bucks" vibe.

Heh,

I'll be out of town for the OB and I leave again the day after it opens. At least I get to preselect my character and 1 day of play to get out of the newbie area.

Are you gonna make that 1 day chinese power leveling day?

[Winin]

Well, actually, Sundays are my days with my daughter while my wife goes dancing, so probably I'll just get a few hours in after dinner.

swing dancing, not pole dancing.

I stopped on lunch and threw down 5 bones on the pre-order, so I don't believe I will need to bum a key off one of yas for OB.

I figure even if I don't end up liking it, it's worth $5 to play with you whores for a week.

We are worth less than a dollar a day. Cheap ho's is we!
