Q:
Ok, so I’m assuming right off that the answer is no. I haven’t seen any mention of it and I don’t recall it coming up in the pre-order. But, I pre-ordered the base game and very much enjoyed early access, so I’m hoping it will be a thing for HoT.

I’m guessing no, as they’re making a huge deal about flipping the switch that morning.
I’d love to be able to at least create my rev though, with the beta slot wipe I can’t even gaze at the awesome.
Speaking of the beta wipe, has anyone considered the implications for name reservation?
For those who used the actual names they want will those be reserved till HoT or was the usual 24hr timer in effect despite people not being given warning that toons were getting wiped?
I didn’t use my name, as I was concerned about potentially losing it, but a number of guildies used names they want and had not noticed the beta wipe and are scrambling to reserve names.

Interesting, I hadn’t seen that thread.
Hopefully
Hopefully this means the names are simply still intentionally reserved and not completely borked (I myself have my revs name saved on a different slot, so its not a problem for me but I really hope people are able to get the names they wanted. Names are so important, its always a shame when you can’t have the one you want)

Beta names are currently borked, they seem to be still stuck in the system despite it being over 24 hrs since the wipe and people can’t get their names

I was going to link that while at lunch but did not have my login… so thanks for that
As for why people keep asking this ridiculous question… why? They are a corporation, ultimately, and deadlines are usually a struggle to meet as it is (proportionally so to the complexity of the project and quantity of developers). Why would they release it earlier than that instead of spending that extra time making sure they are ready for their release? It really makes no sense.
We (I would assume) all know that there are going to be loads of bugs on release day as it is… why make it even worse for themselves and not spend the extra day to get out a few more?
Our early access/pre-purchase came in the form of helping them beta test. We should be happy we got to help them iron out some of the balance and bugs before release (and thus play with new stuff months in advance over anyone not pre-purchasing). Begging for even more is preposterous.
