More Details

You will be able to use your current Account but all Beta characters will be wiped. You will have to start the game from scratch.

If you took part in Beta you are not required to download the game again. You can use your Beta game client - all you need is to patch it. Patching Beta client is very simple: run your launcher and it will download and install the patch.

European Mega Server will be hosted in North America at first to make the launch process easier. This will also provide developers with possibility to fix launch bugs faster. When the server becomes stable and bug-free it will be moved to European Datacenter.

Megaserver technology was created to maintain optimal number of players in one area. Though they say that this technology will also solve the problem of queues, there may be queues in the beginning because of enormous number of simultaneous logins. ZeniMax created special overflow servers: you can join such server, play there and all your progress will be carried over to the general megaserver. The difference between general server and overflow server is that the latter doesn’t have social features.
