Yeah, you won't be able to sleep at the night. I, on the other hand, will sleep well as always, and when I wake up, I just start downloading.

Envious situation. Wake up, put on a cup of coffee and click download. Watch the birds while sipping your coffee... *rage* I'll be sitting in my living room drinking energy drinks looking for bats...

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up at 7am, have a shower, crack open the window and sit at my desk. Have a bowl of Chocolate Shreddies (You mad?) And put my feet up for 30 or so minutes pressing F5 on gamersgate. Great day.

0900 Sweden time is it? Why can't paradox relocate to Vladivostok!? or Hawaii!?

anyway preordered, and has time to play tutorial.


also first post first time caller, long time listener.

 

[Black_Shade]

I didnt think about this when I pre-ordered, but after trying to download the demo from gamersgate, have the servers been upgraded any? I was only getting 2-3 kb/s from gamersgate on the demo, where as my fileplanet download was going at closer to 1 mb/s. I imagine the servers are going to be pounded tonight/tomorrow by people downloading the game... I just hope that gamersgate can handle it, since it couldn't handle the demo.

Release Hour

What hour (GMT) will Victoria II be released?

 

[walrus]

9am Stockholm time, so 8am in the UK, and 7amGMT.

But really, this question has been asked about a gazillion times today alone........

 

[Major Dølje]

Hehe. Hilarious that you messed up the answer then. Game release is 0900 CET. That means 0800 GMT (which is UK time).

 

[soldarin]

I remember the days when we thought this day would never come.

When we bitch and moan about (perceived) bugs and imbalances, keep in mind we are so vocal because we CARE!

It feels just like christmas eve (except without all the family obligations).

Happy gaming, all! :rofl:

 

[PsyM]

I really hope this isnt a disaster like HOI3.

 

[walrus]

Hehe. Hilarious that you messed up the answer then. Game release is 0900 CET. That means 0800 GMT (which is UK time).

No, it is being released at 9am Stockholm time (CEST, which is GMT + 2), while in Britain we are GMt +1 right now as it's summer.

Sorry to rain on your parade

Actually, he got it right. The UK is currently on British Summer Time, GMT+1. It's my understanding that Sweden has a similar summer time (CEST?), thus is currently GMT+2. </pedant>

 

[Pass_West]

Up at 08:00. Downloaded by 08:30 at the latest (I hope). Play til 10:30. Why? Work at 11:00.

 

[volcanopele]

Now I just need to get all my work done today so I can spend all day tomorrow (starting at midnight :rofl: ) playing Vicky II.

 

[Cainrae]

Something tells me, that i will be rather inactive at High School tomorrow... daydreaming about Vicky II xD

 

[Aloriel]

I'm still trying to decide how I am going to negotiate tonight. 3am is a *bit* late for me... but will I sleep knowing that I could be downloading V2?

Simple - go to bed, set an alarm for 3am, get up, start the download knowing that it'll take hours because everyone is hammering the GG servers, then go back to bed
