Collector's Edition pre-order customers will be granted Head Start access on September 14th at 7am EDT. Characters created in the Head Start program will carry over when the servers officially go live on the Day of Reckoning - September 18th.

So we get 2 days!

So if I want to be able to play on the 14th I just need to pre-order the collectors edition?

I do believe they are sold out from the standard retail market.

Yeah, they have been sold out for a while now. you might get lucky though.

7am so I can have a better shot at getting my names reserved?

Well, who needs sleep anyway... 

I just hope 7am Sunday doesn't turn into 5pm Monday like so many other game launches.

That's horrible. I actually have a job scheduled that day, I'm pissed, lol.

They really couldn't do it on the weekend huh? Mythic EPICALLY FAILS! lol.

  I'm hoping I get in on the 14th ....   I actually preordered the standard edition but my account over at EA Mythic says:

GameStop Pre-Order
Includes: Rittenbach's Portable Camp and Sentinel's Amber Band
Closed Beta Tester
Closed Beta Tester
Reward: Email Validated
Includes: Title - 'The Validated'
CE Head Start
Provides access to the CE Head Start

Now that specific hours are flying around, does anyone know at what time do the servers open on the 18th? It's just that I'm gonna have to buy the game on that day (no digital preorder for my country) and I'd like to buy it as early as I can, hehe!

Thanks for the heads up,

now im off to pre order from d2d

16th now? No longer 15th? Erm, hrm, could have sworn it was 15th initially...

EDIT: yeah it used to be the 15th as found here: http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1263326#post1263326

wtf?! not my faulth they ran outta CE copies, I preordered what they had..wait two more days?..oh well, maybe the mini black holes from the collider tomorrow will take us all out anyhow.

So wait, did they just take away one headstart day from the SE preorders to give it to the CE preorders? Or can we just argue that SE was never *confirmed* to start the day immediately after CE?

I'm not going to lie now, I'm beginning to get a bit bummed out about this. It's like they're flaunting the Collector's Edition in the face of everyone that didn't get in on it during that (arguably) short time it was being offered by adding new bonuses that weren't there before. x_x

But eh, that's just me. Way I see it, I'm not quite nerdy enough to get the CE anyway... Let the true Warhammer fans have it. I'd just like to have the extra face choices and bonus quests is all. :P

Interesting that they would push SE head start back from Sept 15th to 16th... I guess it all doesn't really matter anyways. 2 days head start is better than 0 I suppose.

Still, it's an odd decision. A lot of SE players most likely wont get too far out of the starting zones, if they get out of them at all with working regular hours, which wont help the massive influx of people starting on the 18th.

Name reservation.

That's seriously lame. I was looking forward to a 3 day head start so I'd have enough time to get the heck out of the starter areas. Early access on a Tuesday... woohoo.

 So is it safe to assume OB ends on the 13th?

I agree. Warhammer had problems getting beta launched in EU. Now, they are going to give us problems by starting us off on a Tuesday...guess the no lifers will get the head start. While we workers and players that go to school will be starting in the afternoon. Well, guess it's better for the server capacity, LOL.
