February 1st, 2010 is launch day for Global Agenda. The servers are scheduled to come up at Noon US Eastern Standard Time, which is 9 AM Pacific Time, or 17:00 GMT. This is the planned time, but keep an eye on GAServerStatus on Twitter for any potential updates.
For those eagerly waiting, the "Global Agenda Live" client is now available for installation via the Steam client. While the servers are not scheduled to open for the beginning of the limited play period until later in the week, you can begin downloading the client (6.5 GB) now so as to be ready as soon as they do come up, and the ability to reserve your name once installed is also live (right-click game in list, choose Manage Game Account...).
Hi-Rez have provided some more detailed information about the upcoming Name Reserve event leading up to Global Agenda's launch. A brief summary is provided first; you can view the entire announcement after the jump.
Name Reserve is Jan. 28th to Jan 31st.
The "Global Agenda (Live)" install will become available by Jan. 28th (likely late 27th).
Characters will be wiped before the event starts.
Players in beta will have the option to keep their existing name if desired, or to change to a new one.
Players who are agency leaders in beta will automatically keep their current agency (but all other members will be removed). Members can be re-invited or the agency can be disbanded to form another.
Starting on Jan. 29th, the servers will be available for limited play up to level 10 only (once a character reaches level 10, no queues will be available until the full release on Feb. 1st).
Coinciding with the Global Agenda NDA lifting, it's our pleasure to announce the launch of the HexAgenda discussion forums, which you can find at http://forums.hexagenda.com. We hope you'll join us in creating a forum community that is enjoyable to be a part of. Whether you're looking for a refuge from the official forums or just want another place to discuss, we're glad to have you.
