I bought Path Of Fire Standard edition and wondering if access to the content will only be available in September or is there a way to get to the content now? If there is a way to get to the content now what is the way?

There will be demo weekends (first one is the 11th-13th). Other than that, the expansion content will be released on expansion release day.

No way to access the expansion before it is released on Sept. 22nd, other than the Beta weekends on Aug. 11th through Aug. 13th and Aug. 18th through Aug. 20th.

Good luck.

Appreciate the quick responses. I take it once bought when the content is released it automatically will open up. You don’t have to do anything further to open up the content I assume?

No, just log in, download any content that hasn’t already been downloaded previously, and play. =)

Just like any other patch/Release.

Oh okay. The reason I asked is that when I bought Heart Of Thorns the content opened up on its own after purchase. I didn’t have to download anything.

Well, if one purchased after release (and was a current player), all files would have previously been downloaded. All clients are the same, it’s only access that is gated by purchase.

If one purchases an expansion before release, one downloads the files as they are released, up to and including Release day patch files.

Largely explained above anyway, but to reiterate, even if you don’t own the expansions, you still have to patch the expansions into the client, regardless as to whether you can access them or not. So you did download them at some point.

It’ll be interesting to see if they launch the expansion at midnight like HoT this time though.

Ah okay understood now. Buying the expansion grants access to the content but the content is automatically downloaded whether you buy the expansion or not.

Thanks.
