And hmm I'll wait and see what people say when they finish the d/l before I start

Why the hell is everyone getting up in arms about saving 15~30 minutes?

We're hedging our bets in case the patching process takes longer than 15~30 minutes and also to avoid patching when the servers are being blasted.

No idea, I'm most interested in immediate data mining... assuming anything is going to be different besides all quest items having descriptions. Oh yeah, new maps! That's what I'm hoping for.

I doubt a content that comes in a DVD is going to blast the servers in any way.

You do know what you're downloading is not the retail patch but the content of the disc?

Yes, but if you have this installed, you can start to update your client when the servers go live in Japan, making it ready to play when you get your code from your local Gamestop when it opens.

Ah yeah.. you can't get your game yet before that happens? I see.

Due to shippping, I can only get my CE on the 24th

[Izzy]

It affects the US population more than anything. The servers will be up for around 14-18 hours before US people are able to get their copies.

[sruon]

I am only getting the game 20 hours after it go live so :/ and no Dvd drive as well

[Akucaen]

Has anyone's shipped yet , whether you ordered from gamestop or amazon, i preordered from amazon... Not shipped yet, estimated delivery 22nd

In the past amazon release-day was comped overnight shipping. I'd get the tracking number 24 hours before I got it, usually.

I'm still waiting for this to be a 4gb porn file in all honestly.

Thank you very much.
I was starting to think everyone here was too busy with this torrent stuff to answer!

[miokomioko]

My amazon's ETA is the 23rd. What the balls.

How "late" did you pre-order?

[miokomioko]

Was it possible in any of the betas, to set up a retainer on one character, then purchase them on a different character with the same account to transfer items without a delivery-box system? I assume it would be.

You scared me. Mine still says shipping on the 21st and arriving on the 22nd. XD

[SephYuyX]

My GS has it in store now, but wont sell it to me till Wed when they open.

Seconding this. I order a lot of shit from Amazon and have done several release date deliveries. It typically ships the night before and gets there sometime on the release day. Unfortunately UPS typically delivers to my house at the end of the day so I cancelled my preorder there and switched to a brick and mortar Gamestop a few miles away. My ass will be there bright eyed and bushy tailed early Wednesday morning.
