Gmt or Pacific

Pretty sure its American time, but regardless just go on the website and youve got the countdown button which will tell you when itll be released, like for me an Australian ill be getting the game Monday midnight

I guess i should get it tonight since im in england (sunday night that is)

Actually the countdown is just java running on your own cpu time. It is not when they will enable downloads unfortunately

I seem to recall the devs saying downloading wouldn't be up until they got into the office on Monday, and they are somewhere in Canada I think.

So I'm guessing it's Tuesday for us Aussies/New Zealanders ?

Fairly sure they are out in Vancouver, a hub of gaming development these days. So that would be Pacific time.

They stated it somewhere that it will be released in the late afternoon EST time. So that will be early Tuesday morning here in Aus and NZ.

12:00pm - 4pm Monday EST = 4am-8am Tuesday in NSW/VIC, Australia.

So that'll be around midnight GMT? Pleeeease

4PM EST is 9PM GMT if i recall the conversion correctly. So fairly late at night for us Euros.

is it only available for download at those times  ????????? coz im Aussie, so that means i will only be able to download it early mornings. and i have school >< and i think that time conversion that guy did for australia up top was east australia. that would make it 1-5 am in the mornings >< >< please tell me its available around the clock after its release!!!

They're talking about when it's first going up, Chang. Once it's up, it'll be up 24/7.

No worries Chang, we're just discussing the times the downloads will open up, they'll be available non-stop after that.

Oh come on, I want to start downloading midnight Sunday when the first second of Monday begins. I don't want to have to wait all that time till Tuesday! Come on, pretty please?

It'll actually be available sometime monday afternoon. Stardock doesn't do midnight releases.

so will it be sunday(tonight) night in britain or monday night?

If you are in Europe or in any other area East of the United States, you will find that downloads become active late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

Thus, it is best to check if downloads have been enabled when you wake up on Tuesday morning, and, provided that they have, begin the download and leave your computer running while you do your stuff.

In Europ CET Time we have +8h of time diference with East Coast. So no there will be no early sunday downloading for us unless off course they ajust the time to the Australian time.

AHHHHH
That sucks so much!
Here I am staring at the count down excited for the last 20 hours...Only to find out not till tuesday
Right this second, I wish I never read this thread

Sorry for makin it pilla  

Sorry Chang if the times I stated where misleading. It was a broad estimate to the initial release. Tried to cover a broad timeframe because no one knows when the release will be, other than that it will be (late) afternoon Monday EST (USA Time). This was done so people in Aus/NZ can work out there own regional times for the other states/territories. Also, yes it will be available around the clock after the initial release.

oh awesome. now i just need to convince mum to drive me to dads house (where the awesome internet is) which is like 30 mins from here >< i also need to convince her to stick around for 2 hours while i download the game. *sigh*

SDC does have a download manager built in, so you could always just start the download then walk away to school or something.
