My fellow Asian-region players, international beta participants, and brand new players: there’s some stuff you need to know about the next two weeks as we rev up to launch.

First and foremost is Blade & Soul’s pre-launch name registration phase. This begins on Tuesday, January 11 at 6PM PST (NA)/7PM CET (EU). Disciple and Master Pack holders will be able to log into the game during these times and claim the names they want to have a monopoly over at launch.

Just four days after name registration comes head start for all Founder’s Pack tier holders. This three-day period gives Founder’s Pack holders the chance to get ahead of the pack at launch. Head start begins on January 15 at 10AM PST (NA)/7PM CET (EU).

And finally, the day we’ve all been waiting for: Blade & Soul will be launching on January 19 for everyone. Anyone not a Founder’s Pack holder will be able to log into the game at 12:01AM EST (NA)/9AM CET (EU) and start their wuxia journey.

This rapid-fire schedule doesn’t give much in the way of breather room. If you’re a Blade & Soul Founder’s Pack holder, keep the above dates and times in mind as we edge closer to next week’s pre-launch preparations and get ready to kick some butt.
