I was right about a late week launch, just missed the date by a week.

They also moved the automatic billing to that date. Mine was usually hitting on the 19th or so.

Very cool! Excited for the influx of players, and the Cartel Market. May grab some rocket boots!

Something that I thought of in relation to Fyyn's excitement...char naming may be about to get alot more difficult if there is an influx of players is character naming, so if you plan to make an alt any time soon it might be a good idea to start name camping.

7 years, to the day, after the NGE. A rather inauspicious choice.

Wow...that's...something right there. I really have nothing to say other than to acknowledge the what I can only hope was/is a collossal coincidence.

It's not supposed to be live till noon, but I just signed in and it started downloading and installing assets; if you're in a position to get the ball rolling, might save you download time in the future. I doubt the servers are actually up, will post if I find out otherwise after install is complete.

EDIT: Yup, servers down, but patch installed anyway. The first one was a few hundred megs.

Thanks Skig! Patch downloaded, so less jockeying when I finally get a chance to play (work)

Apparently there's something borked about those emails, they have a tweet about it:
"We are currently investigating the issue with incorrect emails being sent out to players regarding Cartel Coins."

Still broken. I wonder if there are any more guns in Borderlands 2....

Servers are up now. Only 3.5 hours late. That's better than expected.
