This message is now up on the AO beta login: We have now stopped to count the release in days and have gone over to hours even though there are still 2 days left. In the works for making the launch day as painless as possible we want to make a general rehearsal with the introduction of a new 11.4 patch also know as the launch patch. A total character wipe has been performad to simulate that a fresh start, as we will have on the 27th. The rehearsal will then escalate into a beta event where all characters are upped to level 75 with millions of credits. All characters created before tuesday 26th at 12 noon (EST) will be upped. All those not with buffed characters at that time, will be unable to participate in the event. Those of use who were in the Everquest beta still remember the war of the gods that ended that beta. Here's hoping Funcom can match it.
