Cause I know its been asked before. This directly from the pre-download of NW from the XBLive Marketplace.
Interesting note though... it says .. 'but it will not be playable until 15:01 UTC (10:01 AM PST) on the release date."
However, we're currently in Daylight Savings Time., which would be PDT, and not Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Most people are careless about the difference between PDT and PST, so I'm guessing that they really meant PDT... especially since no state in the US Pacific Time Zone is currently using Standard Time.. they're all using Daylight Savings Time.
Don't bite my head off if they really mean PST (which is currently not in use by ANYONE IN THAT TIME ZONE! so would be really really odd) and everyone has to wait another hour to play.
I'd say regardless of when the servers come up, and hour later they will be bogged down then shortly thereafter die as a million people try the game for 20 minutes.
First couple weeks are generally just bad for new MMO's...

Yeah, currently the East Coast of the US is 4 hours behind UTC, so that puts the launch at 11AM here and 8 on the West if you go off of UTC time. Not sure which one they messed up.
ha! I didn't even check to see if they got the UTC / PST (PDT) conversion correct. So it'll either open at east coast time 10am (based on PDT), 11am (PST) or 1pm (UTC).
If you set your region to US and downloaded the game, you will be able to play in 2 hours, 39 mins from the posting of this post. I believe you can even re-set your region back to Australia and play as long as the game is in your library.
(not familiar with Australia rules and regs and why you can't play it there).
i can see people on twitch who have started up the game but cant sign into the server yet, but I cant even start up the game as the game tab still says pre ordered and clicking it brings up a message saying i have to wait. any idea how to get rid of the pre order sign?

One day left until launch. Make sure you’re ready to start at 10 am PT by pre-loading Neverwinter: http://bit.ly/NWXboxPreDownload … #NWXbox
10am Pacific.
Thanks for the clarification, can't wait to see everyone live tomorrow!
Curious about when #NWXbox goes live for you? Check out this time converter and be ready to #DefendTheRealms! http://bit.ly/NWXTime
is it not for all Locale?
Was it suppose to be live at 3pm UTC ?
Because the time converter says 5pm UTC...
