Just checked my GamersGate account Semper-Fi,-noticed today, says:"Pre-load 9 hours."

What does that mean?

So anybody from p-dox can tell us when exactly pre-download will start for those who pre-ordered?

i think the pre-download will start 9 hours before release. but i have also read that their was no pre-download planed but now on the gamersgate side they have something about "X pre-load 9 hours".

we will know in around 84 minutes...

Ah well.

To be honest, I dont think there was even a pre download option anyway with this expansion so nothing lost anyway.

It only going to be a few MB anyway so its not like the server is going to jam up in the morning or anything (Touches wood)

I think it's: Knock on wood. Touching wood is something else entirely :p

Even if there's a pre-load you still don't get to play it until release tomorrow.

00.01 would be, in a sence, concidered "tomorrow" wouldn't it? :D

Jk, i'm just too exited at the moment, the wait it killing me :p

In Sweden it's even more complicated, as we say "pepper pepper grab in wood"

I really hope Semper Fi will be really enjoyable without any mods. Looking forward so much to test it out:)
