• The faster-moving opening quests from the later versions of the beta will be used in the official game, so re-rolling shouldn’t be too rough (players can still skip “The Island.”
• The client used in the beta can be used for the official game. Just update it and go.
• There are several fixes coming for in-game issues regarding Guilds, Traits, PvP, and quest bugs. No exact timetable was given, but the developers said “at launch or soon after.”
• Players will have the option of joining overflow servers if a login queue forms. These overflow servers don’t have the social features enabled.
