I just want the game ready to go for tomorrow. Do not care if it takes a bit today to get it ready.

Not sure if this was posted or not :
HEAD START
Servers will open for Head Start access on Tuesday, February 8 at 9AM Pacific (5PM UTC). You must purchase a Founder’s Pack to receive access to the 3-day Head Start. If you purchase a Founder’s Pack at any time during the Head Start, you will be able to play for the remainder of the Head Start period.

Pretty stoked. I was initially pretty hesitant about how gated and shit this game is, but with the news of boosts and the fact that I legitimately have about 4 classes (plus 2 more that aren't in NA yet) I think I'll like, I should get a decent amount of mileage out of this. Korean MMOs have a lot of annoying factors, but goddamn is their combat absolute top tier - BDO is still my favorite MMO combat system of all time.
I'll be rolling Mari if any West Coast boiz want to get a guild or whatever started, feel free to DM me. I can setup Discord and shit or whatever too.

Just a quick note for those rolling on Regulus:
Discord has been set up with some channels for us (thanks
Alkorin
). Please go ahead and use it with your in-game name (when available) for an invite tomorrow. Will be on all day and it's far easier to keep track that way than in game messages.

But that's the thing, preloads are rarely "ready to go". They're usually encrypted, and once the game releases, the game files have to be decrypted, which takes quite a while. Depending on PC specs and internet specs, it can be faster to just download the game on the day of the release, rather than decrypt it. For example iirc MH rise took like 20mins to decrypt on my PC and it was smaller than Lost Ark, but if Lost Ark isn't heavily encrypted(after all you can't play without the servers being up anyway and there's nothing to datamine or crack) it could be faster to just decrypt it, but it could also be slower.
Guess I'll see tomorrow, if it's slow I'll uninstall and reinstall.

From the Lost Ark CM:
Product inventory is what I've mentioned previously. It's where cash shop/website purchases/items from redeem codes go. You can access it with the shopping cart icon at the bottom right of your screen, or F4, or a button on the top right of your UI that looks like a box with an arrow pointing into it. When you have items in it there will be a number on top of the icon.
Edit: All the items in it can be accessed from any server in the region, since it's account wide.

From what everyone has said, the population doesn't really matter. Zones will get instanced after about 30 players, with potentially hundreds of instances of the same zone on a single server.

Given what occurred to him with NW, I'm going to bet he ends up switching servers at the last moment. He knows his hoards will follow up and whatever he picks will be high pop. We'll see tomorrow (part of the fun of an MMO launch if anything!).

Looks like some of the older leadership I was wary about is no longer in control of the Discord. So my concerns about how obnoxious it would be are kind of put to rest.Just a quick note for those rolling on Regulus:

Asmongold doesnt seem very interested in the game from what Ive seen. Looks like he's just playing it because of viewership. He's already complained about playing WoW, New World and FFXIV taking up most of his time and cried about adding a fourth MMO. "I guess I could spend 4 hours on each a day." But who knows?

Also based on that spreadsheet, Regulus has overtaken as the highest pop server by a lot. But maybe people will see that and go elsewhere.
How does this one compare to BDO
Kirun
? I loved BDO (played it on two separate occasions), but the grind for gear is what broke me. I did grind the shit out of horses though, making a T9 horse entirely from my own breeding.
But I loved grinding out tons of mobs on my Lahn. Heck, even competing with someone trying to take my rotation was fun.
