Actually NZ and Aussie should get it midnight tonight (8th) on steam. NZ getting it a few hours before aussie. Midnight exactly is when the date changes and a new day starts so 0000h 9th means midnight between the 8th and the 9th :)

Any other Aussie's notice that on Steam it says 10th of March is the unlock date? What happened to the 9th of March release on Steam Christ Priestly? D:


according to an ea rep it may launch on the 9th like the post said, but dont hold me to it


Thanks.

I'm really jonesing for some Dragon Age 2... And I'm really, REALLY annoyed that Australia is getting screwed over via release dates once again.
Here's hoping it unlocks tonight.

someone's quote from a discussion he had with an EA Rep on Live Chat:


Alan: I would like to inform you that you do not need to worry.
Alan: Dragon Age II will release at the same time for others users too.
Alan: You can start playing the game at the release time of the game.
Me: In ~5 hours?
Alan: Yes.
Me: So you're saying Steam will rectify this issue? And I WILL be able to play at March 9th 00:00 ?
Alan: Yes, you will start playing the game at that time.
Alan: Do not worry.

So midnight AEST i guess i really hope so if that EA rep was fibbing ill be pissed


Australians let us rejoice for we can play early! ( allegedly )

So, did Steam offer the CE version of the game? I distinctly remember being told that was not going to happen, or I *would* have stayed with Steam instead of Gamersgate, who I already do not like. :(

I am not so sегзшв as you think - i have done it allready and i know that there are 2 days more. But I am still stupid enough to trust people and bought this game on Steam. On the 1st page of this topic you can see:
"
Unlocking is based on the official game release date for the region
you live in. The PC versions, both digital and retail, will unlock
beginning at the following times:
Asia/Pacific region – 0000h on March 8th
Canada & United States – 0000h on March 8th
Russian Federation - 0200h on March 8th
Western Europe – 0000h on March 10th
Australia & New Zealand – 0000h March 9th
Central and South America - 1700h March 10th
Eastern Europe  – 0000h March 11th
Great Britain & Ireland – 0000h March 11th[/list]"
I live in Russia. Can you say that I was not screwed?:sick:


They never said a word about a time-zone. May be it is a special Steam-stile time-zones, known only to a high-priests of digital download...

Sick of waiting, already pre-loaded so it will happen when it happens.
Meanwhile: Origins speed run. For first time I let Redcliff village die and it felt, good!
Isolde sacrificed for shallow Demon sex now off to Forest to get me some puppies.
I could get to like this bad grrl stuff.

There's most likely a silent "GMT" in there. Don't hold me to it, but I don't think they'd list them all as 0000h for each different country/area if they were all based off US times anyway.

Ugh. The timer just changed from 10:02 today to midnight on march 10.

Now that's annoying to say the least. And pretty silly too considering that I downloaded the game yesterday and bought it in december.

Ahh Feck it, steam shafted UK by not giving a realase date at all untill the 7th, and everything else on others sites was ranting about the 8th, NOW the UK has to wait untill the 11th? teach me for taking the day off work.... oh wait i could demand a refund from steam a refund and just pirate the game, Well done devs.
one of the primary rules of beating pirates is making the game more readily available than the pirate version, o lets mek half the world wait 2/3/4 more days......

Im also online with EA support. But my dude seems to have no idea what's going on. He's trying to tell me that pre-load is only avaliable in North America... ah.... so what did I spend my afternoon downloading...
