When (time of day) will VIP head-start start?

I couldn't see anything in the articles...will it be available at 12:01am on 1-Sep? 7:01am? 9:01 am? EST I assume...

I can't recall what has been the pattern in the past.

I imagine there'll be downtime that morning to update the servers appropriately...so however long that takes?

[Lorien_the_First_One]

They will likely announce downtime from 2am to 2pm. Which will be extended to 3pm. Which will be extended to 5pm. Then 8pm. It will open at 8:09pm, but need to be rebooted at 10:30pm.


Just based on past experience.

Oh, also remember a couple hours to download the patches lol

There has been mention of a "Down Time" prior to the "Update" and that this will be announced....*waits for announcement*

Every update to the game is accompanied with a down time of some sort. I imagine this one is fairly extensive so 2am to 6pm would probably be in the ball park. I imagine we will get the notification tomorrow.
