Anyone know exactly what time the headstart will end? I hope I can get in some more play time today after all the downtime on the weekend.

    I believe it ends when the first non-preorder player logs in. Aside from maintenance and crashes, it should not go down to "end" headstart.

    If it's done like other games, there will be a brief maintenance period/patch and then it will simply be open for non-pre-order players to log in.

    Sweet, so i can maximize my playtime and luckily I pre-ordered at a brick & mortar store so no need towait for shipping or problems with getting a key emailed. So far digital distribution sounds like too much hassle.

    My only worry is that for us EU players who bought the box does it mean after today we will no longer be able to login till the box arrives? (feb 5th for EU)

    grace perioid is said to be 2nd-8th. so after the 8th you need your code

    As others have said, there will be a grace period. i think they said that pre-orders have until the 6th (at least in North America) to input the codes, but if you are getting it at the store obviously you won't be waiting for a shipment.
