Questions:
5-7pm
in which time zone?
Will we keep our characters, or will this be the onset of Beta (sooner than I expected), or will you temporarily wipe characters to give those wimpy NYers a chance?
Also, if we'll have lots of people on at once, will you expand the map in any way (monster types/drop/spawn, hunting areas, new areas)?
I guess the basic question is whether this will correspond with a significant update to give the new people something to play with, and to support a higher concentration of players than we have right now (imagine 10 people trying to hunt GY as it is).
