    I will be. Although not sure if I lived on the east coast i would be saying that.

    Luckily for me, the game opens at 9.... IN THE MORNING :P

     

    Nice after a long sleep, to get up and play all day ^^

     

    It will just be VERY hard to fall to sleep tonight... Dang. And if I wake up before 9, I probably have a hard time falling into sleep again -.-

    Starts at 8AM my time so not too bad, but according to there website they may start bringing the servers up 3 hours early, so I will be awake at 5 ;)

    Also have a week booked of work to enjoy it in style!

    The backfire is you get tired with too little sleep for something that MIGHT open 3 hours earlier.

     

    Which means, you will have to get a sleeping break later whilke we other level away :P

    There is hardly any reason to rush to level cap in GW2. This game isn't built that way so nope i won't be missing any sleep.

    pfft I can sleep everyday GW2 launch only happens once

     

    Ehh, the game will be exactly the same the day after launch.

    so in your book every world cup or every olympic games opening ceremony is the same LOL

    really.....

    than why do people always comment like, I was there when this and that happened.

    same thing here LOL, saying I was there @ launch and saying I was there the day after are worlds apart.

    Aerowyn had it right launch happens only once just like you only turn 18 only once.

     

    It just hit me you probably pre ordered jijijiji and you are jealous of pre purchasers oops I hit the nail in the head.

    Yikes......you can't be there tomorrow so you wanna make it sound more trivial than it actually is LOL.

     

    The Olympic's....

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done.

    The sickness is great in this thread.  It is not hard ro understand why this genre is so broken.

    6AM (if the servers are up 3 hours in advance, that is) in local time here. Totally doable, but I don't like getting up so early on the weekends.

    Actually works out well for and starts when I get home from work. But I'm going to have a nap before I start. Should be there for first hour which always ends up being the most "fun" time with lag and 12 hour maintenance times.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.

    I wont be sacrificing sleep, as I work nights.. However, i will be sacrificing my body. I am on the east coast and am supposed to work until 3:30 am, with a half hour drive home. It is a labor intensive job, so the faster i work, the quicker I can leave. My goal is to Tazmanian devil the place and get out of there by 12:30-1:00 am and fully utilize that 'overdrive'
    button in the car.

    Even though I'm in EU zone I'm sacrificing some sleep.

    Official time servers go up is 9am my time, because of the up to 3 hours early thing they mentioned 6am and then 1 hour to caffeinize myself enough and get decent breakfast means getting up at 5 am and it's currently 10:45 pm.

    Because I've went to sleep at 1:30am all week I'm still very awake and with the excitement of release I probably won't sleep much anyways.

    2 choices currently stand before me.

     

    1: Chug this can of 4loco and pass out setting an alarm for 2am eastern time

     

    or

     

    2: Chug this redbull and power through, but what to do to keep myself occupied?

  • DragonantisDragonantis Member UncommonPosts: 974

    Oh heck yes I am, I will be chugging down cups of Tea tonight XD

    Redbull options:

    1. Catch up on seasons of Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead, etc.

    2. Spend time here on the forums dis...yeah fuck that just watch those shows instead.

    Fortunatly for me, I am from Europe and for me, at the earliest, it would open at 7 AM, so no need to lose sleep, at least for the 1st day.

    The point is not to level fast but to be there to participate in a memorable event: the first time ever people are playing this game on a live server.

    heh first one is the only one that counts to me:)

    Sorry, can't hang with the marathon kids no more, yo.  Tired already :/

    I've "heard" that they may start up the servers early... I would check to see if they're up before the nap.  I, personally, will have had too many beers to take a nap and try to get up.  I'll just roll with it, have a few more, and see if it opens early.

    As others have said, its all about getting the names. 

    Im on BST so official start is 8am, which is PERFECT, however with them opening the servers "upto 3 hours early" that makes it 5am which is a bit harsh!

    I have always been a night person so staying up late wouldnt be a problem for me. I would prefer it. I am going to struggle getting up for 5am :(
