Feldon From Kiara:
On February 16th, EverQuest II’s sixth expansion: Sentinel’s Fate will launch the retail headstart! We’re all very excited, and hope that you share our enthusiasm. We want to give a brief overview of what to expect on the 16th.
We’ll be bringing the servers down at midnight on February 15th to begin patching to the live servers. Fan Faire attendees will be flagged at this time.
Starting at 6am PST and running until 8am PST, Zatozia will be running a Ustream event.
Kiara will be on the Official Forums and in Zam’s IRC chat to provide updates until the servers come up.
We plan to have the servers back up and ready to go by 9am PST.
EQ2Wire will also be present in the EQ2 ZAM chatroom if you’d like to tug our ear on any issues or offer suggestions.
They hope for servers to be up around 9am PST so expect them back up around 11am PST and then down again around 1pm PST.
However, if the update is as successful as their amazing marketing strategy then expect the servers to be down until around about March.
Such optimism! The last couple of xpak launches have been pretty smooth 🙂
