In the luxury MMO Destiny, the servers will go live on Monday at 2 PM our time. Anyone who has managed to get a game by then can start playing.
As vg247 reports, the servers for Destiny will be online on Monday at 2 PM our time. Then the international date line will be crossed. This means: somewhere in the world it is Tuesday. And it is often said that globalization does not bring any good things. The “server unavailable” message will disappear faster than one might think. Destiny will be playable almost a day earlier.
Anyone who has managed to get a game by then can look forward to this early start.
As Destiny recently mentioned in a tweet: “When you can start playing is a matter between you and the retailer you ordered from.” People are already celebrating online who had the game in their mailbox over the weekend. Players who have purchased the game digitally and have completed the pre-load are fiddling with their device’s region settings, hoping to achieve something by getting as close to the date line as possible. Australia is the preferred setting for many.
The major gaming sites have already received their review copies and are ready to jump in, some with multiple players taking turns to play “the launch of the year”. The press can start streaming the game, publishing images, or showing videos as soon as the servers go live. There are no embargoes in this regard. Therefore, it can be assumed that starting Monday at 2 PM, almost everything will revolve around Destiny. And the poor souls who cannot play by then because they are waiting for the package delivery will be eagerly longing for YouTube and other sites. Or maybe it’s better to take a break from those sites for the day.
According to vg247, Activision requests that the press do not publish early reviews. They should wait until Tuesday at 9:01 AM our time.
Destiny is an MMO shooter, which is produced with high effort by Bungie. It is set to officially release on September 9 for Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. But if you haven’t heard anything about it by now, you have probably been spending the last few weeks on the moon, which by the way will be one of the game’s locations. A PC version of the game by the Halo creators is likely but not yet officially confirmed.
