Character Creation

[nakko99]

I've read that we will be able to download AoC before the actual launch date. Does anyone know if we'll be able to log on and make our character's also before the launch date??

I remember when EQ1 (I believe) made their progression servers we were able to log on to the servers and create our characters before the servers were officially "up" for gameplay.

While this may change I do not believe that character creation will be up early since it is all done on the servers and actually online. Character creation is an actual "zone" or play area essentially, rather than it being all client side and then the data is simply sent to the server with what you chose.

If you preorder and have the 3 day access thing, you can DL the game client starting on May 14th (US), and you can play on the 17th. I couldn't find anywhere that said your dates, dunno where you got those from.

alrighty then it will only be 3 days worth of character creation before we can play the game then but like i said i was going to look it up tonight lol...im still looking forward to the extra creation time with no urgency to break into the game for a few days..thanks for setting me straight but ill look it up anyways just to humor myself

I hate pointing out the obvious, but Athelan said a few posts ago that we cannot start character creation before being able to play the game. The only thing that we can do is download the game in those 3 days before the 17th.

Yeah, exactly. Non-issue.
