Hey, all,

Here is a news post that we're putting on the site in a few minutes. With regret, I wanted to share it with you now.

Event Update

The start of the Nightfall World Preview Event will be delayed by a few hours. We’ve discovered a corruption in the archives, and we’re pulling a full backup, after which we will then examine the error, make a correction, and the event will be on its way. At this point, we anticipate that the event will not start before 5:00 a.m. PDT (Noon GMT). We will update as soon as we have further information. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Whew, I'm actually relieved. Now I'm not tempted to stay up all night lol

Thanks for the update Gaile. I would post this on the front page of the login screen if were Anet.

Yeah a couple hours is hardly anything to worry about? Besides what other game would do this for every game they come out with, every 6 months with updates. Like I said this is nothing to whine over and besides most people arent ganna play it the whole time it's open.


Ty for the heads up Gaile

I dont understand how you can be in game already. Even if Anet are wrong, its still 40 minutes until the original start time

You can make a new character, just cannot load into any zones.

And no, it's not an alpha picture. It would have the watermark if it was.

The event started up at around 10:00 PM Pacific. I was in the Factions screen, which somehow reverted to the Prophecies screen. I backed out and found the Nightfall option was available. I made a Dervish, and then got "Your account does not have the proper code to play this character" and booted back to the selection screen. The character still exists, I just can't use her yet. I suspect that the event was available for a short period of time (10-15 minutes) before being shut down.

Dont see where you guys are making characters and playing cuz I've tried multiple accounts to create a character and neither worked...

I wont believe anything until I see myself in game and playing.

lol just got kicked out, but I got to at least do a few quests and beat the first mission (which was insanly short, Kinda disapointed with that cause now it seems like there is 1 less real mission. I beat it in under 12 minutes and that was with taking pictures, shrinking them and then posting them.)

But the heros are already seeming really fun,a dn i like that this preview you can level rather then start at 20. I can see why they might not be ready yet to have us play cause some of the other new game features seemed to be absent
