    They tend not to announce it to cover for any technical issues they might have, but they have been releasing games around midnight UTC+12 to appease the aussies IIRC.

    So that means that perhaps it will be released around midday GMT, right?

    The hour of release is one thing, and the hour when the game is finally fully downloaded and ready to play is another :)

    That would indicate midday on the day before for us EU folks, and early morning on the day before for those US folks. Seems a bit doubtful.

    Not if you have fiber! (or how you can safely say: I want it NOW! and get your wish granted).

    Does this include Iphone users for the release, or am I going to have to start avoiding this forum to block out the jealousy? 
  • KamigoroshiKamigoroshi Member Posts: 5,870
    The 25th hour, most likely.

    Just in case anybody is still wondering, in the last stream they said SoD will be available at 12 PT (noon time at Beamdog HQ) or what it is the same, 19:00 GMT, on March 31st.

    Exciting days ahead both for players and Beamdog employees as well I imagine. Here's hoping for a successful launch with no hiccups^^

    @Skarose You'd better download BGEE now, before the SOD event starts, so that you didn't waste time when needed.

    I wish I was on the west coast so I could play it earlier. Just think of the people in Europe who have to wait even longer.

    Uh? The game will be released for everybody. It is just that guys in the us west coast will start playing at a different hour (in LOCAL time) than those in other parts of the world

    Question! When the patch 2.0 is coming out? Do we know the hour? Will it be different on Steam?

    I guess I was being too deadpan.

    As someone who only recently rejoined the forums, I have a question. Is the SoD PC release through Beamdog's client now going to include the BGEE 2.0 patch or will it be a later update? I remember reading that the plan was for 2.0 to get out a few days before SoD, but it doesn't seem like that happened. Am I reading the situation correctly?

    The releases are going to be closer than we originally planned, but the plan was always to release the expansion on the same codebase as BG:EE--that means v2.0 for BG:EE, BGII:EE, and SoD-expanded BG:EE.

    Ah gotcha, thanks for the info!
