Early access extended.

Early Access Period
August 24, 2013 (Saturday), 2:00 a.m. to August 29, 2013 (Thursday), 11:59 p.m. (PDT)


now please log off of hyperion!

I feel like this is more like backhandedly pushing the release date back. You could technically play on your early access registration code until the 30th to allow for late deliveries of the game. But yes, please...log off Hyperion!

I noticed this as well. It didnt mention a delay in the official release but it had me worried. Anyone know if official release is going to be delayed til after Thurs?

It's still 27th as release date, this is the grace period.

It's not an extension, it's a grace period to ensure that those that receive their physical copies late still manage to play at launch. Pretty sure they've said this a couple of times, with the latest one I bothered to look for being Bayohne's on the 23rd of August, before this whole Early Access debacle even kicked off.

For those asking about waiting for their physical packages to arrive with their full reg. code -- early access users will be able to play until August 30th. :)

Ooh, it even has Bayohne's little Titan picture when I quote him. Neat.

As has been said, its a grace period for allowing you to receive your physical copy late.
Almost all MMOs with an early access do this.

That's pretty optimistic of them.

If they get everything taken care of by the 29th I'll be happily surprised.

Yes it is extended to Thursday, but if I have to sit here and click "start" "character" "play" "denied" for 4 hours to get in for 1 hour everyday it's not worth it.

Log off from Balmung please, I haven't played a full hour today, yet!
